[QUOTE="climenta, post: 381238, member: 8285"] A brief note on the evolution of mat rempits in Malaysia (I'm going to start from the 90s, for those from the 80s & beyond pls feel free to add): - [B]Early 90s [/B] - bikers with ethics. Riding & race around for the thrill & fun without bearing an expense on other road users. - bikes commonly used : 2-stroke bikes i.e. Yamaha 100,SS,RXK, RXS, RXZ, Kawasaki Ninja 150, Suzuki RG, etc [B]Mid 90s [/B] - increased usage of highly powered small bikes i.e. 2-stroke bikes i.e. Kawasaki Super KIPS, Honda NSRR, Yamaha TZM, TZR, Aprillia RS125, 250. similar ethics as above - The commercialization of local capchai racing circuits across M'sia to combat illegal racing. - daredevil riders are alot more common compared to previous years. - heavy bohsia influence on the biking community, senang angkut [B]Late 90s / Early 00s [/B] - This generation started to see cheaper underbone cubs with 4-stroke engines. - illegal big money races, racing for the sole purpose of making money, all kind of bikes.. these bikes are usually funded by bikes shops... racing for fun still exists, similar ethics as above but the rowdy mentality visible. [B]2000 onwards [/B] - wasn't really following the scene, was into big bikes. Guess this was the time mat rempits as we all see right now started to surface. I'd associate myself with the type of bikers from early 90s, the ones with ethics & respect for other road users. Ride with the sole purpose of enjoying the wind & the scenery without really disturbing anyone else. Race around while trying not to cause harm to others. I'm sure that most of you former bikers would be thinking, what happened to that thrill of riding? Why do we now have these pariahs riding around town tormenting our souls? Now where & how did it all go wrong? Education? Upbringing? Malaysia boleh?:cool: [/QUOTE]
