[Archived - 2007] TRIP: 1day relax ride to Msia Malacca

[sky_vinz]

Hi PKs, I'm tinking of heading Malacca on tis coming sat for a 1day ride. Tot of posting n c if any riders here r interested in coming along. Initially there's 2 of my friens n I heading together, but 1 back out yday due to last min work on sat.

 

Below is my initial plan:

 

06:00 - Reach Sg 2nd Link

07:30 - Reach Yong Peng (for bites n petrol)

08:00 - Leave Yong Peng for Malacca

09:30 - Reach Malacca (for lunch, shopping, n photo shoots)

13:00 - Leave Malacca

14:30 - Reach Yong Peng (for bites n petrol)

15:00 - Leave Yong Peng for Sg 2nd Link

16:30 - Reach Sg 2nd Link

 

Actually I havent been there before, thus I'm not sure abt e time required. Shld b much lesser den wat I've stated above. Heard from a rider frien saying tat he can reach Malacca in 2.5hrs riding at 120-140km/h. But den again, it's gonna b a relaxing ride for tis trip. Speed shld b ard 100-120km/h I guess. I'm planning to leave 2nd link before morning jams, n return to 2nd link before evening jams. =) Hopefully there'll b some of u who're interested to join us, n also experienced riders to guide us along e trip.

[sky_vinz]

dreamwalk: I'm sure we'll start to hav more trips posted here in PK forum after tis trip. =) I've many more places in Msia to explore too!

 

gnayed: Thks for ur support! Joining e trip?

 

kmax: Thks too! I'll b riding my CB400, while my frien Simon will b riding his CBR400 (if he's coming). However as I've stated, tis will b a relaxing ride at 100-120kmh, sth which my previous Phantom TA200 Custom is definitely capable of. Plus we hav a stopover at Yong Peng too, thus no worries of any engine over-heat incidents. =)

I'll see if I can make it. If I do I'll try to get a smaller bike to go. Then again, you must remember that 100 ~ 120 on a S4/CBR should be about 110 ~ 135 on a Phantom, very straining for Phantom engines to maintain such speeds.

Malacca is a nice place. That time went with dreamwalk n others...

He can't get enough of melaka.

I will be going to Kota Tinggi then Sg. Rengit for mini lobster lunch though.

 

Anyway sky_vinz, just be careful riding back in the night if you are going to ride between 100 to 120kph. There are lots of vehicle out there and majority would be travelling at a higher speed even in the dark.

[sky_vinz]

kmax: Erm, preferably before friday? Much better to confirm a day in advance. Thks! =)

 

thcheong: Thks for ur tips! Actually tis is more of a trial-n-error trip. Coz I havent been there before, n my frien Simon has been there by car for a few times only. So might b stopping n checking e map once a while. =X

 

vincekam: U probably saw me at e dam before. I was previously riding a grey Honda Phantom TA200 Custom. Post in PK threads once a while. =) N sure, pending list is welcomed too! Preferably all pending names can confirm their attendance by fri though. Thks!

 

alyce: I c.. No worries! I'm tinking.. If tis trip is successful, I'll try to make these Msia rides a regular thing. Means for every few wks, we can head to various locations in Msia for a 1 or 2 days trip. =)

 

salvatron: Haha, sure do bro! Cheers! =)

 

Haya^Busa: Alamak, no la. Now gain lots of weight liao. =P

 

nights: Thks so much for e precious tip, which is very useful for more future trips. As for tis trip, as we'll most probably b back by evening if nth goes wrong, so I tink we'll b alright. Anyway will keep left unless overtaking. =D Thks!
