Oh well, here's a blow by blow account on what I did there then. 2:20pm: Got there. No problem finding parking at all. Got my ticket from a really cute ticket girl who gave me a green bracelet. I'm not taking off the green bracelet EVER. At least until the end of the day. 2:25pm: Spent five minutes planning the day. Was initially only planning to stay there a few hours, but decided, WTF, already paid RM35, might.as well see how long I can last there.

Most often the boots were.".black variety with jeans over them, but nonetheless, they (both the bikers and the boots) always looked cool to me.
