[stoner]

Hi to every one...

 

It's been a long time since I last posted...

 

I'm planning a trip up north to HatYai this coming Nov 09... Looking at 3days 2 nights...

 

The dates could be co-ordinated... So... should any one be interested... please drop a post... or PM me your number...

 

Oh.. btw.... I'm riding a Spark...

 

Cheers!

Been to cameron last year... sorry bro...

 

Intend to head up north this year...

wah.. how long to get up there with spark?

 

As my fuel tank is small and with many fuel stops.. and a constant speed of 90 - 100km/hr... It should take about 14hrs or so...

[stoner]

Nov wat date u going ??

 

Date not confirmed yet... looking for ka_kis... Most likely late Nov or Early Dec...

 

Hotel booking at the last min should'nt be much of an issue.. my dad is over there...

My HP GPS only leads to the Thai border, there a shop behind "Tar_lah_Sue" that sells KUPs parts... I use to buy my stocks from there...

 

Care to join me for the ride?

[JackOHJack]

i wonder how 14 hours on cub feels like, butt sure numb..

 

if early dec i can consider, coz my exams finish early dec, perhaps 10 dec?

 

are parts cheaper up in thailand? any quality concerns?

[Acalanatha]

... It should take about 14hrs or so...

 

If one take coach from SG up to Hatyai also around 14 hrs or less... Grassland selling a seat for $50 during off-peak season.

Very true, but where's the fun?

Yap... I've been riding up north on superbikes & tourers since 10 over years ago (1995...)

 

So... with insurance hotting high notes$$ since year 2000... Down graded to a Kup and haven't look back since!

 

A KUP is great locally with low cost of Maintenance and low fuel consumption. In fact, because most kups sold locally that are made in Thailand. Which makes its the ideal bike to travel around Malaysia.... where should it breakdown... even a kampong workshop could easily get you back on the road....

 

I've been shelving off this idea of riding off up north for the pass 3 years due to work and family... but for this year... I would love to have it done...

 

Even my wife is currently considering to join me for the trip (provided I re_do the seat )... crazy right? Two old folks... riding up north...

 

The issue here is not WHY? but WHY NOT?

 

 

So you are game for it.. do drop me a PM or leave a post...

 

Cheers!

Re_doing of seat is best done locally... You could check out Engene who does great mods on seats... very nice guy...

 

bro wats d date.. im actually very interested but d prob is wats d budget gonna b lyk and how much $ is enough.. haha..

 

I need to clear my leave and till date I'm still shopping around for Kar_kis... Burget wise...appox $500 would be very comfortable for Fuel + Hotel (Regent Hotel) + makan + Buying little bits of souvenoirs... not including bike parts of course....

Lets have a list of People who are interested 1st... tentative date is 1st or 2nd week of Dec 09....It could be eariler...too...

 

 

 

For bikers who are interested in joining me for the trip.. it'll be better if we could come out for coffee 1st and get to know each other better before the trip... At least.. I need to know your level of experience in riding... especially on the north south highway....

 

Cheers!

[hanwen]

bro stoner, i'm interested in going.. but would prefer to set the days on weekends though.. not many days of leave to clear coz i jus started working not too long ago..

 

pls gimme a PM when the date to meetup for coffee to discuss the trip details. .. cheers

 

hanwen/93873674/spark135/furthest only rode up to kukup once

[JackOHJack]

after the breakdown of costs from bro stoner, i arrived at the following costs:

 

given my fc of abt 45km/litre:

 

fuel $ = 1.98 x (2500/45) = RM110 = SGD46 (abt 2500km)

 

hotel $ = $35 x 2 nights = SGD70 (twin sharing)

 

Makan $ = $50 x 3 days = SGD150 (makan shiok shiok)

 

Total $ = SGD266 (smokers add in ur own costs )

 

hope it helps!

[JackOHJack]

perhaps if compile into a list will be easier.

I think Jalan Kayu....would be great... the Prata Shop which is next to the big Carpark would be a great place for Coffee and add mass to my already over weight body...

 

So....

 

Venue: *Last Prata Coffee shop (Next to the big carpark)

Date: This coming Friday, 23th Oct 09

Time: 7pm

 

Attendee:

 

1. Stoner (9456 1515) / Fat Old Broke... You can't miss me....

2.
