Incident Report 2 (part deux): crash dummy don ends up in drain

 

Reporting from another angle. We all started off going down the mountain, and the hornets were near the middle of the group, the big bikes went off first. We were happily trailing each other at a moderate pace from Brinchang and past the 1st S-curve. Suddenly, was overtaken by a red SV-400 ridden by a hiong stardust! Very fast, very pro, she made me feel like a turtle crawling. Actually, at that point was already feeling rather silly, because going to Cameron means must play the curves, not gelek gelek down in convoy... so offf i went: overtook several bikes, found myself staring down stardust's backside. Tried to come close to overtake, but no opportunities because we were both taking the same lines and I didn't want to overtake on the curves at those speeds. About half-way down the mountain, the road widened to double-lane, and I got the chance to pull past her.

 

At some point in time, realised that there was a big blue hornet 900 in my rear-mirror, following very close: eh wait, I can see Don's face in my mirrors! We were both taking the curves at high-speed, and Don was with me all the way. On some of the curves, I was going so fast that I could feel the rear fish-tail when I drop gear and brake before entering the sharper corners, but there was Don right behind me all the way... steady! Then, we came to the DANGER ZONE.

 

Near the last 1/4 of the downhill route, there is this series of sharp curves and hairpins. You can't miss it, because the signboards just before the series of curves will post 40 km/h speed limit. On one side is the cliff edge, and the other side is the vertical slope of the side of the mountain. On these curves, the corners are all blind corners as the slope of the mountain is in the way, and not only are the curves sharp, they are downhill. In fact, if you look at the shoulders on the tips of the curves, you will see a lot of debris and oil patches from previous victims.

 

We entered this series of curves at moderate speed - before entering, I signalled Don to pull back and slow down, because I'd been down these curves before and almost wiped out. I noticed he pulled back several bike lengths before we hit the very 1st curve. It was sharp, it was scary, was scraping foot-pegs left and right. I wasn't looking into my mirrors because simply got no chance. However, after running about 5 curves, I glanced back and Don was no longer there. Hmmmm, strange. After reaching the end of the curves, I decided to wait at the shoulder for him, figuring he had slowed down to negotiate the turns... funny, he was taking a long time. Then I noticed a black super4 (Rachel?) appearing around the bend and going past me... cannot be what, how can Don have been overtaken in that series of curves? Anyway, I swung back and went up the mountain looking for our lost hero. Near the middle of the series of curves, I noticed a circus of cars and people clustering at the shoulder... Liao liao! Then luckily, spotted a guy in a torn red jacket chatting with the natives... it was Don!

 

The remainder of the story as per Wayang's report...

For me, I never take the corner unless I can see the road surface of the mid corner and exit. If I see sand, go very slow. If I can't see the corner at all, go slow also.

 

So how Hornet and Hornettes, whats next? Frasers?

Hmm... Personally I feel safety is a more important factor when riding. Dont exceed your own personal limit lor... Somemore different bikes got different handling for eg, V-twin will be more stable in cornering than in-line-4 engines. Personally I feel that after the accident area the next few bends are sharper. Definitely will be more dangerous if we maintain our speed in which we went down. Maybe a warning to all of us to go slower... Ravon hope everything is okay for you. Importantly you are back in SG safe and sound.

 

And yes Alvin, We need to get a bigger tank!! All the way in NS highway I was worrying if I can reached the next petrol station!!

gyan's incident report on Dear Don

 

As chi yen mention eariler the corner where Dear Don met his accident were rather sharp, yes indeed there was a sign mentioning it... as far as i can remember, after taking 3 turns/corners, it was an up hill follow by a right corner apon taking the corner i saw some cars and bikes park along the shoulder and people waving at me, than among the people, i saw Dear Don standing there facing the drain.

 

Quickly i stoped my bike on the left sholder and ran towards him... already he had taken off his helmat, so started to question him on how he is feeling, any injuries or pain else where. Don was cool but could tell he was still shock as his answers were rather stammering or slow... guess its like that when anyone got into an accident (hey i buang twice in 2 months). So can greatly understand his feeling at that moment.

 

Couldent c his bike so i guess it must be in the drain, so quickly i ran to his bike jump into the drain, switch off the ignition and toss the key to him... On the 1st look the bike seems fine except the meter was racked, tried to moved the bike upright but it proves to be to heavy. around this time wayang appear, seeing wayang with Dear Don, i climbed out of the drain and dispers the locals away...

 

While dispersing the locals i than walked up hill to warn the on coming bikes. And soon more bikes arrive... ran down hill to Dear Don saw chi yen was there with him... and the rest of the inccident was told by wayang n chi yen...

the slopes were more "tune" for going up... from slow ones to very nice big curves on top... hehe... so speed increasing all the way...

 

On the way down, its very different... the top is very nice curves, btu then when you get to the 2 lanes, everything change to very tight ones... the roadsigns were showing 40km/h... Malaysian sportsbike riders were overtaking me like nothing... haha...

 

Anyway ncie place to be at... next time try the route up from Gua Musang... will be another different experience... Anyone interested???
