Met few kind and friendly ppl along my ride up and at Cameron's. First was a Singaporean rider (uncle) at 3am @ Pagoh R&R...he was kind to ride beside me and keep me company for abt 20 to 30km. Then he shot up...class 2 what!! Haha.

 

Then second was 3 girls, at the BOH Tea Centre who help me take pictures and kept me company while I ate there.

 

Last was my roommate at the guesthouse dorm I stayed...he's just finished college and travelling are Asia...from the UK, I told him to

Visit Singapore and contact me...who shld tell the tourism board I do a much better job! :-) hahaha.

 

Great people, great ride! Riders Ur never alone...if if you think you are GOD's always beside you. So keep the faith and passion and don't fred to go alone and explore new places who knows you

Might meet new friends along the way...

 

Tested my Temperature Meter I installed recently:

Lowest temp recorded was 17.6 @ Cameron Highlands. And lowest in Singapore, while returning home recorded 24.2! Those who would like to know...North South Highway is between 22.9-25.7 degrees at night. Power la!

E6 is definitely one good freeway...where theres a really long straight road to clear meter!

 

Beautiful road to ride at night, safe too cos 3 lanes...lots of space! Mist is wonderful
