It was my first experience of hardship in the highway since I first bought this bike. Luckily it happens at kilometer 197.2..near "tempat haram turun Berkelah (kilometer 199.7)"
I'm attending my friend's wedding at Temerloh. This incident happens on my way back to Kuantan. I'm considered lucky to only have to walk for 20km+ only.
What exactly happens? Let pictures do the briefing~
Yes, it happens as U think it is. My bike's chain accidentally stuck at the sprocket and forcefully stopped my bike. Luckily, I managed to control the bike from fell and luckily i didn't "fly" at that time. Note that I'm at 140km/h at that time. It's a mere luck that the bike didn't stopped in a sudden. Instead, it moves and did severe damage to both chain and sprocket. All praises to Allah. Most of my friends are also shocked that I'm still alive (cursed them!haha)

After the incident, I waited for help. Lucky again that the emergency phone is just a 100meters away. I walked to the booth, looked at the booth and completely blurred on what to do. Yes! it's my first time to ever walked that near to the booth~ However, there's only 2 buttons on that booth, I clicked on both buttons and hear some sound like "dialing". I tried for about 5minutes, but no one answered my call. :/

I observe the booth and saw an emergency phone number printed on it. However, my phone doesn't work on calling (as mentioned on my fb page). Then, I think that I should work out on something. I searched for tools that may assisted me. I remembered I just threw the tools out because I don't really know how to use them.(and I think that I may not need them) Out of options, I tried to stop any cars or motorcycle for helps. Luckily, these guys showed up.
Such handsome heroes~ want their number? message me~~haha (cik Fza xya nak gatal2 mintak ye =P)
They let me borrowed their phone to call for help. I dialed the number and the operator answers the call. She asked for my name, bike plate no, and the exact location. I gave her the details and she asked me to just stayed there and wait for back up. Few minutes later, the so called back up unit arrived. This is the part that pissed me off the most. Here are the conversation:

Prime: What happen?
Me: The chain and the sprocket wore off, so, is there any way to bring my bike to the nearest exit?
Prime: Sorry, we don't work on bike
Me: What? Why is that?
Prime: Because U see, we didn't charge motorcycle for any Toll Fees, so no service for bike. It's like we are working for nothing. (Hell yeah!! I'm going to kill ya!!)
Me: ......
He puts few cones around my bike and left. SO THOUGHTFUL ( He's Malay for god sake!)

Last resort, I texted one of my friend and asked for back up. I asked him to wait at Gambang Toll.
I cut the chain and dragged the motorcycle. After few hours, I arrived there and we went to the nearest workshop. Its a complete course for me that day.
It was a hectic day. But I do learned a lot from it.
Here are some valuable reminder that i would like to share with all of you:

1. Always tell your loved one, whenever and wherever you go!
2. Always check the condition of your vehicles before you start any journey.
   
3. Never ride a bike in a highway, they just don't serve you if anything bad happen, unless you involved in an accident and unintentionally disturbed the traffics =.="
   
4. Handphone is for call, throw it away once it loses this function~~
5. Always carry the tools required for repairing the vehicles. Even though you don't know how to use them!! (You'll eventually know how to use them when you are in critical situation..oww, i know that feeling very well =P)
6. Make lots of friends, as u may need them in a situation like this.( But don't make friend just because of that, phm2 la yer)
   
7. Be friendly, don't just ignored strangers or passer by, sometimes you may need them! A smile shouldn't be much~
   
8. Expect for the worst in every journey and be prepared mentally n physically! (It's not that u prayed for it to happen, but just in case~)

5yS are now well experienced and his motorcycle has a new set of sprocket & chain~
