i think the pit stop maybe can option put KL , (mac) jus after the TOLL

for those tired...

at least got hot coffee....

 

I second that

Some food in the stomach and coffee does wonders to maintain focus while on the road...

Nasi lemak with lots of sambal washed down with hot coffee is even better

No use bros. Because by the time, you hit near to KL area. Its gonna be the start of their renown morning jam. All the foods, drinks and smoke that you take will be used up totally to clear the jam.

 

KL Morning Jam is a killer. Car lane change without due warning. Kups raced and cut traffic like no tomorrow. Its Just JAM JAM JAM.

 

Maintaining absolute control of the convoy is going to be a major issue. Rider go missing etc is definitely something a big big no no during trip out. At least NOT IN KL. ^_^

[SW9000]

hmm....

 

1. Supper before meet up at GP.

Light makan and no spicy food?

Arboh you'll get big 'S***' all the way to Tapah.

 

2. Many quick petrol stops along the way.

Kopi/drinks and snacks.

 

3. Tapah R & R (possibly by 6am).

Full breakfast!!??

Miss all the jams!!

 

Trust the organisers bah.

They need to time the ride just nice to avoid the holiday crowd and also ensure stress-free rides for all.

They have much experience in taking care of rider's welfare, including hungry ppl.

[ohayo]

 

Many quick petrol stops along the way.

Kopi/drinks and snacks.

 

Yeah. For the smaller bike group shouldnt worry about foods. Because u will stop so frequent till you super sian. heeeee

1) No worries. Hot nescafe (at some petrol stations) and buns are good enough for me. As there are more than 20 bikes, each stop should probably be at least 40 minutes. Most probably an hour. More than enough time for petrol top up, toilet break, quick chow and puff.

 

Escape KL jam then full breakfast at Tapah sound good

 

2) Petrol Stations

Does anyone know the distance between stations? If we have this info before the trip, we'll then be able to plan individually where to top up petrol. That way, those whose bikes have longer range can plan where they want to top up. Thus, total time taken at each stop can be minimised as much as possible.

 

cheers

[wait4me]

dun worry the organise power wan ,

petrol stops all the have in mind ..

all 100km sure have petrol station

Even you wanna to go for longer distance and stop less, the class 2b bike cannot do it. Long distance travelling on a constant speed is very stressful to the class 2b bike. As they are only one piston and ideally not built to travel super distance at one go. I went muar with my x1r. Fuel consumption dropped. In Singapore can do 160km per litre. In NSHW only can clock 140km. Short of 14km to Pagoh shell station. This is because of the wind resistance and long distance stress riding. Luckily i brought extra fuel bottle along. Even bike can, i doubt rider can tahan for so long. Bike vibration, wind blast, sore backside and boring ride (cant go fast and cant go slow, only can maintain). On my return trip from muar, nearing machap, i couldnt feel my butt already. Numbness and tingling sensation is my next best friend on the seat.

Yeah. 100km is a good. Not too far and not too short.

There's no need to worry about all these plannings. The organisers had all these in mind before they start to organise any outings or trips. If you've been on trips or outings with SBF, you'll notice they basically think of everything you can think of. They've got it cover, all you need to do is obey their advise and enjoy the trip.

Quincy bro, when we are on top of the mountain, is it ok to ride with berms and sandals or is it a must to be in jeans and shoes? Not sure what type of clothes to pack for on top there.

Depending on your threshold to coldness, average temperature up there is 18-23 degree Celsius. Gets colder in the night. WHen you wake up in the morning, cold breath and cold dews on your bike. Definitely must bring a set of rain coat, as the weather is pretty unpredictable and its almost raining season now. Their rain come and go easily.

 

Pack your clothes in accordance to cold weather. But not for winter, k. Unless you are highly perspire type, you dont really perspire there. Weather is cooling and not humid like singapore.

 

A good example will be. In Cameron Highlands, you WILL NOT PERSPIRE eating steamboat buffet at all. Thats how shiok the weather is.

 

What i normally do for 3 days 2 nights. No shorts or bermudas for me. Mainly because its cold and also because of the wet, slippery and uneven roads. I wouldnt risk falling with bad injuries that could be avoided with proper gears. Since you are ridng zx6, probably no top box or panniers. Keep your load light. If not it will be a hell 600km ride with the heavy burden.

 

1. Permanent set of sleeping clothes

2. 3 x undergarment

3. 1 x jean

4. 3 x t-shirts

5. A pair of slippers
