Full tank, sufficient to reach the border before refuelling again to enjoy the relatively cheaper price .

TRANS THAILAND - first stop

At Tapah R&R, North bound.

The North - South Highway (Northbound) was not that busy yet at this hour. Besides, in Kuala Lumpur, it is still Chinese New Year & Federal Territory public holidays.

There were 2 convoys of bikers heading North. They were too fast for me to follow. Besides, I don't really like to ride without the sun above my head.

Stopped in Tapah R&R to have breakfast. Cant find anything nice to eat but still need to fill my stomach before lunch - in a few more hours.

Breakfast Ride @ Janda Baik

One of my favorite cycling route is Janda Baik. It is also now one of my favorite biking route. RR and HJ decided to follow me for breakfast, Sunday ride. It was really fun to lepak, have breakfast and cath up at Kopi & Kraft.

RR is late. Ish....

Sharing holiday photos on handphone. HJ was showing the photos of her Mount Rinjani, Lombok hike recently. Fantastic view. Apparently the climb was quite hard.

RT Brothers

Brothers from 2 different generation. 

I prefer the older one, of course. 

Classic.

Fraser's Hill Solo Ride

It was supposed to be a ride with Dean and his son, Joey. I was looking forward to try riding Dean's antique Triumph but I think they were out late last night. Its Joey's last day of Christmas holiday.

Since I have psyched myself to ride, I went to Fraser's Hill, solo ride.

I don't mind solo rides. It gives me freedom for photo stops. 

The weather was perfect.

I actually wanted to continue to Genting Highland but the road towards Kuala Lipis was blocked due to a fallen tree. I changed my mind. 

I sent these photos to Dean, just to show him what he missed.

4 Corners

Would love to ride my motorbike around Peninsula Malaysia. Take a few days off with 4 or 5 rider s. That would be fun.

In the list.

Fraser's Ride

The delicious bowl of steaming hot noodle soup, fresh cool air, a good book.

Nice.

Romantic Climb

The climb up Fraser's Hill, by bicycle or motorbike - always romantic.

The now one-way road was built by the British to reach their bungalows up in the mountain to escape the heat in the valley.

Until today, I still prefer Fraser's Hill than Cameron Highlands.
