Hi Bros!

Nice ride man

 

I rode to Senai Airport on Sunday afternoon, unplanned too. 31km from 2nd link! Beautiful weather...cool and refreshing!

 

Maybe we could go for a ride in future too.

Hey guys!

 

Just got back from a Trip to Kota Tinggi, Johor. It was damn fun! We got off from sg at 9am and reached kota tinggi near 10am. 3 gleefully clueless boys with 2 red super four rode to the waterfalls and had a blast! Only 10 rm per entry to the waterfalls plus secure bike parking. It was a huge improvement since the last time i went there in my primary school days. The place was clean and they even had slides and buoys to rent! But i would suggest if anyone here were to go there, try reaching around 9-10, as the crowd starts to rush in by 12 on a weekend. They have food there too, abit pricey IMHO, so do bring your own food. I suggest fill your stomach first at the Kota Tinggi town area. Great seafood and cheap!

 

We left the waterfalls at 1pm and had brunch in the town area. The place, Kip Mart, is like Pandan City but a little bit pricier. Parking for bike is also secure there. The people there keep smiling at us boys, i dunnoe why. =)

 

With stomachs filled and clueless of our next destination, we randomly picked Desaru as our next destination. It was a straight journey, but boy it was tiring. The big lorries were a nuisance as they were road hogging. It takes some courage to cut over the opposing traffic to overtake, but do this at your own peril. Damn scary! The generous amount of potholes and randomly repaired road also didnt do much good to my suspension. But i think i clocked 160kmh fastest on those rare straight roads. In the middle of the long stretch to Desaru, i saw that they were making a new highway, so i hope it opens soon.

 

We reached Desaru in 40 mins or so. The public beach was awesome! Car park was only 1 rm! and we could bring the bike quite close to the beach! *do note that by this time our bikes were like dirt bikes.* haha. The locals were very nice too! Was very tempted to jump in and get wet again seeing the very big waves, but it was too hot at that time. Beautiful view over the horizon! Ouh. And they also had go kart there, which we couldnt find. haha.

 

After much rest, we headed home. On our way back to Kota tinggi, i chanced upon the Crocodile Farm sign... haha... I signalled left and duely made an impromptu ride there. Low and behold! We were greeted with awesome beach scenery, with some bridge linkway similar to the one at putrajaya and our 2nd link. At the crocodile farm , entrance was rm 8 for adults and rm 4 for children. We boys.. got in for free. *blame the unman-ed entrance*

 

It was a surreal experience getting soooo close to the crocs! they were literally at your feet! *albeit behind a waist level concrete barricade* The Crocodile Farm was quite big, the size of our Escape Theme Park i would say. As we were about to sneak back out, this pak cik called out to us. We thought that he wanted us to pay. but...

 

Pak Cik : "Eh, you got camera right? Want to see the crocs in action? come here!"

 

hahaha. That uncle was damn awesome la! i think he was one of the employees there. He took a long wooden stick and asked us to stand by our cameras. He then poked the huge gator which was just in front of us! mind you, that gator was literally infront of us and it was triple the length and width of a normal adult! He didnt stop there though, he proceeded to the next enclosure and poked the other smaller but more agile gator. hahaha. After that, he smiled and walked away. damn cool pakcik.

 

We returned to our track back home after that. Feeling hungry, we stopped at one of the towns there. The setting is similar to the on e in Bukit Indah, but calmer. We stopped for drinks and snacks. I even had a 7 rm hair cut!

 

We realised then that smoke was coming out from my friends bike. He suspected it was EO leak. Damn scary. We continued back home, hoping nothing bad happens.

 

I stopped by Pandan City to do my bike and helmet stickers. Excellent quality and good service as compared to the ones here. Personal opinion only.

 

We stopped by X performance at Ah Gua Lane. My friends headlights now were not working. He got his socket replaced + bulb for 35 RM. My balancer dropped off and decided to change the grips as well, so i got myself the rizoma look alike grips for 35 rm. Then we finally had our petrol top up and bike wash for 7 rm. While waiting, there was the Man Utd vs West Ham, so we were fairly entertained.

 

The wonderful journey finally ended at 1030pm, where we safely reached home. haha. Photos will be up soon! sorry for the horrible english! Typing in a moment of arenaline!

 

Good Night people!
