hi guys,

 

am posting on behalf of zasrock since his home internet connection is currently down:

 

anyway, would like to say thanks and appreciate it that everyone took the time and effort

to be present on the previous "meet-up cum brainstorming" session last Friday.

 

the organiser and myself have came out with a suggestion for the return journey:

 

1) We suggest to stopover and spend the night at Seremban. Based on our research,

the hotel that is "within our budget" is Seri Malaysia Seremban. Rates starts from RM130 for twin.

 

2) After spending the night at Seremban, we can proceed down to Umbai, Melaka

for seafood "makan" before continuing back to S'pore.

 

Kindly look through our suggestion and reply if its acceptable, so we can book in

advance as there are limited units left (have received an email reply from them stating this)

 

Rgds,

[zasrock]

Hi deanz,

 

Thanks for sharing. I believe not everyone can actually travel more than 1000 km per days and still enjoy the ride. For one, I wouldn't. Going in a group means that we have to think of everyone and try to set a comfort level agreedable by all. The main idea of the trip is not to rush but rather have an enjoyable ride memoriable one. If the idea was just to rush there, spend a few days there and rush back, a more feasible router would be to take a flight there. Save time and energy. Furthermore, the different is not that much also... Anyway this is .. Just my 2 cent

 

Thanks for sharing your experience and hopefully you could join us for future trips..

 

Cheers...

Bro Pplater, i think u kancheong for the thailand trip u made a typo in ur signature.

[Pplater]

Alamak... My spelling cmi...

[fattsum]

ah... so envy cannot follow.... LOL.... u guys have fun and ride safe.... careful on the NSH as they are still doing the upgrading... like someone says cars and buses can be dangerously squeeze into single lane along the way.. so ride safe.

[chrislayer]

hi All,

 

it's been a really wet weather the past few days...hopefully it will all dry up by this Thu...

 

till then, |ride safe|

[zasrock]

Hi Guyz, its 3 more days to our trip and hopefully things will go as plan. Juz a bit more info, for those who still do not have a copy of their log card / registration card for your bike, please do so soon and make sure the name on the log card is identical to yours. Newer bikes can print their registration card from one motoring website. You will need to login first either via singpass or username and password. Click "I agree" and it will bring you to the LTA online service. Click on "Vehicle hub" and choose "Enquiry and Print Veh Reg Detail". Your vehicle registration will be display. Choose File -> Print to print it.

I'm posting the steps cause it took me quite while of serching and finally have to call LTA up. Haiz..

Anyway, may the good time roll... Cheers

[zamani]

Hey guys, i juz came back from KL.

Overall, its sunny and bright @ KL.

Traffic on NSH is a breeze except for some buses cutting lane (beware yer)

MOST of the cars will give way and filter to the left lane when they see u speeding near.

On average, i travel at 140 - 160km/h, at times when straight road is clear, can go 200 n beyond ..

Only experience heavy downpour on the way back from Machap onwards.

Hopefully our ride up will be bright and sunny as well.

 

Looking forward to 20th. CHeers.

[Pplater]

Just a quick note, remember to bring windbreaker if u want cause its gonna be cold at Camerons. Last time i went without it and had to use raincoat

 

Regarding Ah Boy's cruise control.. Me didn't pass by and didn't get the chance to buy. So if u guys want to get it please do so before the trip.

[chrislayer]
