Me with Bulldog Kuan(a legend in motorbike racing)Today going to the KL races was indeed a pleasure.I was up early and ready to leave for the airport with my good wife INA. After the norm of checking in and boarding the 1215 afternoon flight i was pleasantly surprised to see BULLDOG KUAN a household name in the motorbike racing here.He is still very active even in his seventies,and is now the President of the Penang Motor Sports Club. There was so much to catch up with this legend who in his prime was always linked with the KAWASAKI racing bikes.Being from Penang we know each other well.What a lot of people may not know is that being of small frame he was jockey material,in fact he was offered to be a jockey in those days by then Trainer W. BAGBY.and i am sure he would have been just as great. Why the name BULLDOG KUAN,its a long story which is very interesting,maybe if you are in Penang you can drop by his famous motorbike shop in YORK ROAD or ask anyone living in Penang and they will direct you,and you can ask him. For what he has achieved a DATUKSHIP is definately a fitting award to this LEGEND.My trip to KL this time even in my illness and feeling a little tired was indeed a memorable one meeting up with Bulldog Kwan after not seeing each other for a longtime as i used to hangout during the 70's at my cousin's house next to his motorshop. Now 2 of his sons are involved in motorbike racing and i wish them all the best and may you both lived up to the name of BULLDOG KUAN,GOD BLESS AMEEN.
