Vandalism at $2/litre
The past week, I made a very silly mistake which caused a cosmetic horror on the X9. This is a lesson for those who wish to take more care in their vehicles or learn more about the dark side of vandalism.
My bike has ran out of fuel last week. No sweat, just find the nearest Shell station. I picked up the (what do you call it?) petrol injector and turned around to look at the prices. Im a price sensitive consumer, so bite me.
Turns out that some leftover fuel from the previous topup leaked onto my bike. Its not a waterfall but I guess it can be classified as a dripping splash. Which seems fine to me, after all water should be able to was it off.
Theory: Oil floats on water, so petrol can be removed
Not really. After some education from friends, I noticed the next few bike washes always had some shiny residue. Looks like its going to be a "long term problem". Meanwhile some paint have dropped off but its just plastics. Heng ah.. I will pengsan if its the paintwork.
Rule of Thumb: Petrol stations are dangerous. Do not light a naked flame. Do not leave your engines on. Never ever place a nozzle over your vehicle without keeping one eye on it. Ok.. Don’t forget to keep the cashcard too.
