I have some other secret routes such as doing convoy thru Turf Club area (totally no lighting), various industrial zones near CCK and Kranji useful to "charge battery". 

 

Are those the Turf Club area @ bukit timah? Where you will pass by the horse stables?

That's something new, where is the entry gate? I guess this would have to go through ERP toll Gate too?

[pinksheep]

No need, it's outside restricted area. Just follow heavy vehicle roads that are completely empty at night. These roads are not cui one like Tuas area. It's safe even for scooters. Some of these locations are hidden in plain sight, it's possible to have nice picnic there if bring a gang of motorcycles.

Way better than going to the usual over populated places people have been gathering for decades. 

 

There are some special sites around Tuas and other industrial zones too, can spend early mornings or nights to explore them, roads leading to nowhere, enormous container truck multi story park, shipyard gate left open, etc. These are nice small roads not the bumpy over used main roads. Many built over the past 10 years so it's worth forgetting the old routes and make new ones. Even Bartley viaduct over Kaki Bukit can be site for a cruising adventure. 

 

 Very Hong Kong movie 1980s feel if one of us have an action camera to do a quick chase scene.

Here, already went LP1 last year several times to break in engine at night. A rider asked me to take photo of his bike. Then a kaki brought me to find the elusive Tuas carpark beside the beach, no more already, Tuas Coast area is now reclaimed land. 

There's a lot of stuff pasted on LP1, can act like pilgrimage and look at it

There's a very fun viaduct super high up following MRT line at Tuas, but don't go at high speed if you're scared of wind. Giant windshields might cause unstable handling. 

There are a lot of photo op locations at Tuas but got to follow me to find them

I also plan to do a LP1... Even got a holder for my GoPro...

Only problem is my ass is still stuck at home...hahaha...

I ordered parts for camera mount also but using normal digital camera that has been collecting dust for years cos no travel. It has OIS built in so should be good for motorcycle videos.

Bored of LP1? How about LP177 at Choa Chu Kang? 

Visit next weekend and bring home some flowers

Want to do a mini meet there? Open on weekends 10am to 7pm.

Facebook look for "Plants & Pints" to see latest promos. Next month they plan to have Ramadan bazaar there. 

Plants and Pints
https://maps.app.goo.gl/VZ6pueTaT1UGcB8U8

 

You might be tempted to pick up some pretty little cactus or table plants for just a few dollars. 

KJE (edited) take Brickland Rd exit but turn towards the ulu looking farm area no traffic goes to. A lot of agriculture related businesses. Instantly feel like old Malaysian roads in the countryside. Can cruise around explore the roads, see if can find the "Lamppost 117" in the middle of nowhere all grass, trees and greenhouses only. 

The view from Jalan Lekar is nice as it's overlooking a big valley facing LCK and the big airbase. No hi rise buildings.

nice place at your area.. let me share one nice place at seletar.. 

 

Soek Seng 1954 Bicycle Cafe

This cafe oversee the airplane that land or fly off..  

Food wise - so so

Drink wise - expensive

scenery = fantastic..

 

conclusion.. bring your own drink and hang around there for a few photos.. 

there's also a few more spots.. some are hidden/illegal to put bike up on this area. haha.. (I'll bring you all there if we ever meet up around my area)

I'm available this evening as well.. hahahahah (edited at 3.26pm - still raining at seletar area, sianz)

*usually it's the hidden/illegal to put ones nicer.. LOLOL

[ConceptFuel]

Ahhh this is Neo Tiew Road, usually I use this road if I am from woodlands going back to my home in Jurong, where after that you pass Lim chu kang area and end up to Jurong West instead of using BKE and KJE, using this road makes me feel at home. Surely I head up to Seletar when my scooter is ready for pick up, in the meantime I be just using my friend same mini scooter just like mine.

I am ok with Seletar and going there, despite staying in Jurong. Usually I ride at night and also delivering food and ends just an hour before sunrise so at times if there is any last minute kopi or meetup, do msg me, as I can go online and offline from work at night

[pinksheep]

Haha long ago we used to run bike groups through Neo Tiew until Sian, this new place is different, Jalan Lekar is at the end of old CCK Road, no one goes there except to visit the plant nurseries. Try look for Sungei Tengah Rd, even got little square road leads to nowhere can use for small adventures and uphill downhill to play gears and engine braking.
