The
SHOW MUST GO ON and IT DID! OutRageously PiNk Nite, Bangsar Village II,
Kuala Lumpur –
7 Nov 2009
It had been raining daily in the week running up to OutRageously PiNk Nite (OPN),
so it was great to have a sunny day come Saturday 7 Nov 2009. Yet it was not
to be, as close to 4.45pm, the heavy rain came with a bit of thunder and
lightning, but the show went on, albeit delayed nearly one hour. The Harley
Davidson Owners Group (Malaysia Chapter) could not gather in time/on time at
their Head Office in Jalan 222 and dressing up the bikes was impossible.
Yet, they took off just 15 min later than scheduled resplendent in their
Mardi Gras-like decorated pink bras!!!
