Hi…all Vara bros, Peace…

 

 

 

]Kota Tinggi Recce Ride

 

a drizzle start in the morning but alas, a good cooling ride it was. many roads still under going repair. along Kota Tinggi route, quite a number had big landslide. encountered a road cave-in at a minor road towards Desaru. no repair yet, only barricaded. noticeably, local folks are trying to get on with life. the flood mark were everywhere. cant imagine the phobias of those having to return back home sited next to the rivers. interestingly at Ulu Tiram, saw a nice orangy red design Harley Road King perched on top of hill next ,what seems to be a motorbike garage.

 

 

Photos to share…

[Hideaway]

Just got thru the DRC ... ok guys .. pls remember to bring ur own gloves .. more handling mah .... Guards they provided ... but freaking smelly .. lucky i brought along my own ones ... And happy cornering !!! Lock ur handlebar to one side and slowly throttle on to do the small u-turn!!!! FUN ! and best of all BURN SOME TYRES ! You aint not paying $50 just to watch right ?

 

Burning the pavement,

Hideaway

[obverse]

DRC sounds interesting. I have enrolled for my 2A: starting next week. DRC will follow straight afterwards.

 

Where do you guys service your bikes? I assume Boon Siew does a good job; problem for me is that they are too far from work and home. Is there any place in the east, near Changi, Bedok or Tampines? I want someone who really know's Varaderos'; and knows what the common problems are with these bikes. It is starting to sound different after owning it for 4 months so I want to get it checked out properly.

 

thanks guys

Fraser's Hill Ride

 

Date : 6th (Fri) 0500hrs - 8th (Sun) 2359hrs April 2007 (Good Friday Weekend)

 

Agenda : Ride, Relax, Rest / AGM(Awesome Grand Mtg - review 2006, Plan 2007, Q&A)

 

Accomadation Cost @ Singapore House : less then S$20 per person for 2 nites

 

General Info : Fraser's Hill (Bukit Fraser) is a colonial-era hill station in Pahang state, Peninsular Malaysia.

 

Understand

Fraser's Hill is named after Louis James Fraser, a Scotsman who prospected for gold in Australia but eventually struck tin here instead in the 1890s. Employing Chinese miners to do the hard work for him and earning his keep by operating mule trains down the mountain, Fraser set up opium and gambling dens to increase his profits, which may have had something to do with his subsequent mysterious disappearance. The tin ran out in 1913, but the lush valley within was rediscovered as a colonial hill resort that, thanks to its 1524m elevation, enjoys considerably cooler temperatures than Kuala Lumpur. By 1922 a road had been cut through the mountains to the valley, which soon sprouted bungalows and even one of Malaya's first golf courses.

 

Not much has changed since, and Fraser's Hill retains a wonderfully weird mixed-up character, where locals eat curries off banana leaves in a English cottage next to a golf course while the call to prayer sounds from the mosque.

 

Location

Fraser's Hill is located 105 km north of Kuala Lumpur, around 2 hours by car. For a long time, access to Fraser's Hill was possible only via a 8-km one-lane road known as the The Gap, used by uphill and downhill traffic in turns. However, a new road was completed in 2001, and while promptly closed for repairs it is, as of March 2006, open once again. Now all upward traffic uses the new road, while the old Gap road is designated for downward traffic, with no time restrictions round the clock.

 

Only 420km to Destination
