Sorry guys, as this is my virgin trip up north... I dunno where GP Esso is... any kind souls willing to meet me at nearby marsiling MRT station at an earlier time, say 7:30am?

 

Also, can I plug in my iPod during the journey? In trips in this, is it advisable or not?

me passing by. I think we should meet at 7am instead at Marsiling MRT. Coz 40 min to reach Tuas custom under moderate traffic condition, 10mins to cross custom & reach GP esso.

 

Ipod? Your earphone is in line type which can seal wind noise? Coz I usually wears ear plugs when I travel more than 120km/hr to prevent hearing damage due to wind noise. Unless yours is a expensive branded Full faced helmet, then wind noise is much less.

 

[tt6389]

What are things to prepare for trips?

 

Things to check:

1. Tire pressure.

2. Coolant level.

 

Things to bring:

1. Enough Ringgit.

2. Camera.

3. Rain gears - very important.

4. Dark sun glasses - too much sun can make your eyes tired & sleepy.

 

I bringing for all

1. Tire repair kit with pliers to pull nails.

2. Tire CO2 inflator.

 

 

Important Stuff

Enough sleep - so you would feel sleepy on the roads when riding for long hours.

 

 

Anything to add here?

Special Request:

Like to request that if you think you might be late, send me a sms while you are still in Spore to state where you are - so I can gauge what time you will arrive. So we can order another cup of coffee in GP Esso.

If you need to send sms when you are already in Malaysia, you need to include +65 xxxxxxxx , otherwise the sms will not reach.

 

Rain Contingency Plan

Note if it is heavy rain at 7am, we'll wait at most an hour for rain to stop. If it still drizzles, I will still proceeds. Those who wish to opt out due to drizzle is ok , understandable coz roads are slippery. But please sms me. I will still go if drizzle, even alone. But if raining in Pulai area, we will reverse the itinerary & visit Batu Pahat Hotspring & BP Wet World first - coz it might not be raining there.

 

Hope we'll have nice weather and one hell of an adventure tomorrow ...

At home now. can't imagine riding the bike for one whole day sia..

[pktan]

And thanks for the great acompnay!! I go sleep now.

[Ones_Co]

nice ride...

 

 

Tim next time at hot spring u have to go in..... hehehe....

[khookahkiat]

wOoTz, helluva ride it was! and my butt was almost numb!

 

Great company, excellent weather, but the haze was terrible!

 

Nice meeting people like pktan, william, lawrence+wee keong and eddie!

Hope we can come out again to conquer uncharted territory in JB again! hehe...

 

Apart from the little misshap I had due to my noobness, everything was quite smooth sailing... would like to thank the lawrence and gang who lent a hand in pushing my beloved bike up... appreciate that dudes!

 

Honestly speaking, I would love to visit more scenic places in future rather than theme parks like batu pahat wet world... LMAO!!! But in all honesty, Tim is a very detailed planner and takes the initiative most of the time. Its great having Tim around in trips like this (not forgetting his GPS as well!)

 

3 cheers to Timmmeh!!!

[R6ex]

Its even better than having a GPS on my bike 'coz today, we've got 2 living "GPS" - Tim & William !!

 

Nice ride today. Great company.

 

Well, every trip is so interestingly different! This one, a kinda free & easy, almost casual kinda whole-day affair with an exposure to GPS. The last one was with a bunch of energetic youngsters who luvs 2 cup corners. Then the one before last was another bunch of young chiongsters who really showed teamwork & comaraderie when somethinig bad happened on the road. Then the one before all these was about swapping bikes to have a feel of everyone's mistresses, a lesson on mechanical emergency, as well as hitting top speeds on NSH. Then the one that goes even before all these ............

 

Guess the story never ends!

 

 

 

Another day, another ride ... yet another enlightening adventure awaits!

[blur sotong]

Nice ride for the day but ... butt pain, & great company guys. Awaiting Tim for organising another trip.. hee

 

Ones_Co: No, next time we go Hot Spring again, we trow him in.... kekeke Tim.

[sabbaha]

Welcome back!!! Glad u guys are back safe and sound!!!

Agree!

 

For me, I found the secluded, scenic, mysterious & twisty hill route up the waterfall the nicest of the whole trip. I wanted to follow jus101 up the rest of the way up the hill to explore what's up there, but scared route is too steep & narrow & may have problem making U-turn to come down later, so dropped the idea. But basically, I'm with K3 on how nice it can be to view nice nature reserve on bike. The JASCO building & its surrounding open area is quite nice too. Though touristy, Genting roads & scenary is also very nice.

 

Hey, K3, may I just advise that you keep a frequent lookout in your rear-view mirrors as I've seen a few cars coming up ur back menancingly, but you're riding 1-handed, focusing ahead and seemed not too aware what's coming up. Well, I think for safety sake, its good to know roughly what's happening behind while being alert ahead.

 

My butt no problem ('coz gel seat) but shoulders ach like what! Also, the afternoon ride was so uncomfortable 'coz bike so hot! Muz keep going above 130 kph, I think, to keep bike cool. On rural roads, can't tahan heat, but NSH, no problem ... only TP got problem.

 

From jus101's pic, my bike looks just like any S4 in size & shape ... onli different color + got fairing.

[tt6389]

wa...so many posting on the trip already. Was glad you people enjoyed the trip.

 

I also feel the same way, its a waste if we just use a powerful bike like S4 in Spore, must use it occasionally to travel faraway & explore interesting scenic places.

 

Thanks everyone for the nice & fun company for this adventure trip. Was fortunate the GPS guided me correctly 99% of the time - was worried downloaded map inaccurate. It did happen once or twice, the auto-prompting message tells me to turn left while the map clearly shows me to go straight. It hard to study the map on my tiny GPS screen.

 

Actually Pulai Waterfall is very very near to Spore, 50 km from Tuas custom. Can reach there in 20 min exit by Kulai. Can always go again for ad hoc trip cum makan session in kulai town. There are so many makan places in kulai btw if visited in Saturday afternoon. Can also go see the Horse riding ranch up a hill top also.

 

 

Point taken , will plan more scenic places in future. How about Gadek Hotspring in Malacca?

 

Also can consider Mt. Ophir 's Puteri Waterfall. Puteri Waterfall. Went there in previous trip, but had no time to climb up & explore the higher tiers of the waterfall. Good thing here is there is good security - can park bikes right in front of the Gunung Ledang resort , then walk up to waterfall nearby.

 

The harder to reach waterfall in Johore state is Sungei Yong 's waterfall.

 

Might be a good idea to cover the Malacca's Gadek hotspring & Puteri waterfall in a same day trip sometime in 1st week of december?

 

 

 

........................................

K3: Can you post the pictures of the waterfall at the higher tier? Where there is a pool with swimmers? I missed the chance to go up. Thanks.
