[Ride Report] 2D1N trip to KL

[rylche]

Hello guys!

 

I just came back from a spur-of-the-moment virgin overseas trip to KL on my trusty Phantom (who never ever failed or showed any signs of on the way!) with my friend pillioning on the back.

 

 

Left Singapore yesterday at about 11am via Tuas, which made me drop helmet and gloves at Customs due to my kancheongness Realized that the toll plaza right after the Malaysian customs needed Touch N Go, which had to be purchased on the spot. Thus, I got myself a TNG card! Woohoo for future GP pump petrol trips!

 

 

Stopped at Gelang Patah to pump petrol and subsequently got my finger cut due to the broken air pump. We rode on and stopped at Machap next for a much needed 'butt-break' as our bums were really sore by then. I didn't know that endurance riding could be quite difficult! Every single little quibble is magnified a thousand times after a few 100kms.

 

 

We then proceeded on to Yong Peng for a much needed lunch, arriving at about 2pm. However, on the way in, we took the earlier exit, and ended up in downtown Yong Peng, completely lost! Thankfully, we spotted the highway exit and proceeded there to the usual tourist coach terminal there.

 

 

We then proceeded all the way to Ayer Keroh, which on the way, I had to switch to reserve tank and arrived at Ayer Keroh Petronas with only 400ml of petrol left. Poor planning on our parts! We then proceeded up north again, but was abruptly stopped at Nilai due to a seriously heavy thunderstorm, with visibility dropping to 10m or less. Totally drenched, from shirt to underwear and socks! However, that didn't dampen our spirits and on we proceeded straight into KL.

 

 

We spent a great night there, having a massage and getting approaches by pimps (!!). Do we look the sort! Had an uneventful ride back. This time, we took about a 1.5hrs less due to proper planning and strengthened stamina (much thanks to the massage we had in KL ).

 

 

I had an AWESOME virgin ride into malaysia and can't wait for my next :thumb:

Well done. Try to wear a FF helmet next time on such trip, juz an advice.

 

Dont worry, once u hv a bike of bigger cc, it wouldnt be much of an endurance, but more to a pleasure.
