[Q&A] Touring Apparel

[ozzarhomb]

with regards to previous posts, where can we buy the worm type of tire repair kit and what's the price range for it?

also, should we really get stuck on Malaysian highways and we need to call for help, who should we call?

[zod]

LAB got sell.

 

PLUSLine : 1800-88-0000

Every 250m or so, there's a phone booth you can use to contact them.

It's working and they speak english; cos I used before.

 

They can tow your bike to the nearest R&R FOC.

Any other places, you negotiate price with them.

Cheap compared to the price you need to pay if you tow just cos of tyre puncture.

As mentioned, you can nego with the Plus tow truck.

As for others, hmm, you should prolly search for the numbers of some big bike shops in KL.

Patch kit is less than 10 buck. If you ride solo, better bring along a small jack and foot pump also.

better make sure u know how to use it before u leave...first time i tried to repair my tire with the kit..couldn't do it until a kind malay uncle cannot bear to c me redo again and again..tell me the correct technique. looks easy when u c the workshop mechanics does it..

All things said and done...

 

You can be decked out like robocop, but if you ask for trouble, more likely than not you will get it. There is only so much that a protective suit can do to protect your body: the rest is up to you.

 

Bring your medication. If you are asthmatic bring your inhaler. If you are diabetic bring your injector. etcetera,

 

Bring enough cash on you for emergencies like for towing. And a spare battery for your phone... or an emergency charger. this is your number one prioty.

 

Bring a basic toolkit. by god i hope you know some basic repairs. I suggest you have a tire repair kit + gas cannister pump on the ready. bring along a spare fuse, spark plugs. If you buy a bike brand new the should give a basic repair kit. that should be enough. a tip: for catastrophic tire failures... where using a tire rapair kit wont work, you can just use a tube to inflate the tire and ride back home slowly.

 

Ride safe.

[Sn0w_MaN]

i think for safety purpose i will suggest to to spend abit more on ur riding gears for trip. U can try to go LAB and or chaip lee to check.

[larree]

yeah agree.... life is precious, though getting good riding gears don't gurantee your safety but it does reduce your risk

[racingter]

Hi.

 

Can someone share what's the usual to body equip for travelling?

 

1. Just a thick raincoat and pants will be enough?

2. A protective jacket with an additional thin raincoat and pants?

3. Or...

 

Thanks.

I don’t want to be in tears, but I am still in grief.I don’t want to sing, but I am not tone-deaf.Facing the violent Wenchuan earthquake, I weep about it, which,wow pl however, is of no use .And I am still obsessed by it in this season. I can’t alleviate my inner distress by just weeping.Like all of you, I choose to be strong.However loud and clear my singing voice is,I will never be sad,wow power leveling Because being sad will.Make me lost in the direction in which I march. I will never sing,Because singing can’t.Bring life back to those brothers or sisters who were suffocated in the ruins. But I cannot but be in sorrows.For , The elders and brethrens who were suddenly overwhelmed by this huge disaster. But I cannot but sing.For,The people,wow powerleveling with their backbones straightened before the disaster,Including Premier Wen whose back could be watched.And the soldiers wearing military uniforms.It is a hymn of praise to “Unity is Strength”,And interprets the tragically heroic stories taking place in the lofty mountains in North West of Sichuan. The people with muscles of steel distance themselves away from romantic affairs.My words become extraordinarily clear and vigorous.All the poems burst wow pl forth and every phrase reads sonorous .For the earthquake relief work. Man can’t be without conscience.And let alone to forget sympathy.Our ancestors nourished us,Our nation has never yielded to difficulties and dangers ahead of her. The disaster is not worth being afraid of.As the descendants of the Chinese nation, we always grow up in disasters.The earthquake can’t shake our faith.world of warcraft Powerleveling And we hold up our heads high in hardships.Because we are the phoenix of the Orient.And all our genes are made of either iron or steel.

[vespaboy]

Hi, do people usually wear riding gears/armored jackets/boots etc when on tours up North? I saw a few pretty good deals on Ebay and I'm wondering if I should get some. I'm hoping to join some of you guys on long trips to Malaysia. Thanks.
