20131018-20131019 running in gs1200 bul lc cameron highland

finally dato b bring home his bike after a while in the bmw showroom glenmarie. only had 300km when he reach home that day. so we decide to go to cameron highland after the meeting on thursday. only three of us including datin sue who just completed her service with the ministry of education. so she is full time following dato b. hahahha 

we left chukai almost 2pm. the meeting drag us a little bit. supposed we plan to have lunch in tasik kenyir but none of the restaurant open since most people still in hariraya haji fever. luckily the pengaklan gawi rnr is open. we have another 300km still. so we had our lunch before hitting the road again. from here to CH will be more or less 300km.

refueling in gua musang before we climbing for another 160++km to CH.

enjoyed riding thru felda aring. got dirt and gravel. thats what we are looking for for our GS. No doubht this is the bike for adventure rider. easy handling while in rough road. from gua musang to CH... the road is winding with long and short corners. smooth surface in fact. make our ride more enjoyable. we reached CH around 8pm. just walk in the hotel. fortunately, still have room available. Hotel Remix is our regular hotel actually.

.

unsangkarable.. a lot of people even not a holiday season. full house at this restaurant for dinner. easy access for us actually. a few doors from our hotel.

we end up here. not bad. western, malay and chinese food. we took off at 8am from the hotel and had our breakfast at amir tomyam somewhere habu. not bad the nasi lemak. in addition we are hungry. anything eatable will be good i guess hahahhaha.

we took CH- sg koyan route straight to lanchang. as usual, take 5 at sg koyan petronas station. dato b aim for ikan patin in temerloh(beside BP). but it was closed.  i told him why not we had our lunch at our nostalgic restaurant in maran?

we end up here. we had been stopping for meal here since we are kids. pok mat is the introducer. he is regular customer for this restaurant ever since. the died long ago and pass this restaurant to his son.

same menu till now. very classic sambal belacan. wont regret if you eat here. 

after lunch dato b straight to chear bmw for this 1st service. he is done and ready for hanoi. just wait and see. thanks dato b for a wonderful ride to CH. scenic route. great road condition.

231009 running in zack78 gs1700 hahhaha

i am supposed to see dj for a few business matters. dj is was so busy. no choice. i have to see him in kuala terengganu. i post it in the group. fortunately z and kim were available.

while waiting for me meeting with dj, z and kim did his sticker and fix his plate number.

our compulsory menu. pok nong the legend. wont sleep well if we did not come here. as usual pok nong always the best and will always be the best. he did a little renovation to his stall. new counter for easy acces for the customer. pok nong you are the best. the cigarette cover for calculating the amount is the most unforgettable thing.

20130929 rompin with mama

just got back from penang yesterday. got a sms from one of the babysitter saying that she is free for that day. i told mama just got on the bike. lets ride somewhere. with a limited time, the best place to layan kona a bit here and there is kuantan rompin route.

here we are. normal order. 1 kilo. we always make sure the shrimp is more than the rice. otherwise not worth of riding to rompin. when we arrived in leban chondong, i can see around 30 bikes from johor. what i can say about johorean, they have very strong relationship especially in their community. regardless of what activities they are involve.

20130927-20130928 solo to penang

suppose 3 of us. last minute cancel due to work related. anyway, this is the only week i am free. settled everything that morning. took of at 9am. very hot day. i did 180-200kmh until temerloh. just wanna see how my new machine works. about 45 minutes arrived in temerloh. temperature went up a bit. i told ken in glenmarie. he said that normal. the engine is auto shutoff anyway if its overheated. from temerloh i went thru batang kali. slow and steady. this is what happen when your are riding alone. no rushing at all.

stopped by at my great grandma cemetery somewhere kuala kubu bharu. al fatihah to her. may her soul rest in peace. from seberang tayor kemaman end up in kkb. kinda weird right. but its alright.

 

normal pit stop in ipoh if i am with my family or alone. the late megats' house. its been 4 years. my childhood friend. when he was a kid his parent moved to kemaman. he lived about 1 block from my house. we went to school together with bicycle. at that time dato b is not in the picture yet. dato b, came into the picture when i were in standard 6. alfatihah to arwah.

arrived in penang like 4pm. straight to touratech. geared up a few item for the bike. finish at 6pm. checked in the hotel and never came out. took off after breakfast around 8am. very lucky the traffic is not crazy yet.

very hot sunny day. even in titiwangsa. take five for a can of kopi o nescaffe. slowly decending.. layan kona all the way until jeli. mann... what a bike. 33 liter fuel. stop for twice still do not have to refuel.

finally tired and hungry. i am avoiding highway all the way. thats how i ended up having lunch in kuala brang. little small restaurant by the river bank. very nice and relaxing view.

sungai telemomg or terengganu.. not sure.

the bridge before kuala berang.. view from the restaurant.

the specialty here is fresh water fish... i kang baung.. but not me. no for fresh water fish. got caught in heavy rain twice before reaching home. landed safe and sound around 5 pm.
