OUTRIDERZ Fraser's Hill Ride 2007

 

Date : 6th (Fri) 0600hrs - 8th (Sun) 2359hrs April 2007 (Good Friday Weekend)

 

Meeting Point : 0600hrs @ Gelang Patah RnR(NB) Esso

Pls do not be late as we wish to avoid the long weekend jam.. thank you!

 

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

 

Accomadation Cost @ Singapore House : less then S$10 per person per nite

 

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

it's "plug" n "play" ...

[obverse]

Every time I go over a speed bump, even at 15 Kmh, I hear a loud click noise from somewhere under the middle of the bike; this only started a couple of weeks ago; after a ride up to Melaka.

I though that the chain was loose and it was slapping off something, but I dont see what it could hit.

Otherwise it runs fine. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

check the chain guard. the bracket holding it @ the chain slider could’ve been dislocated.if it does,mount it back in place. (into the swing arm )
