1 Day 2 Trips

4 APRIL 2009
MALACCA AND BUKIT INDUS TRIPS

For this Malacca trip, I set out very early from 6am in the morning to meet up some of the guys @ Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim exit 15A Shell petrol station where most bikers would meet before entering Malaysia thru the 2nd Link.

Nittybing

When I arrived, Nittybing – new biker was already there with his Phantom. Followed by Bryan and Daniel arrived. I’ve forgotten to bring my RM and SGD was not enough, so I made a trip nearby ESSO petrol station to draw some SGD.

Almost reaching ESSO petrol station, my bike engine dies off. My fuel is low and I pushed a short distance [very lucky] and pump petrol. Engine oil indicator lights up and bike couldn’t start with a ‘rusty, very rough’ crank sound. Bought a 4L engine oil cost me SGD 100+ and top-up engine oil and bike started. I’m lucky it did not happen in North South Highway – that’ll be very troublesome.

Went back to JAI, saw the rest there – Insaint[Patrick], SP, Flareon1982 [Joseph]. We proceed to meet Huairen’s [Eugene] group @ GP Petronas cos we’re late due to the minor hiccup I’ve and missed the kopi & loti session with Bryan. But is still nice riding with him. :)

Bryan @ GP Petronas

Reached GP Petronas, saw the group of 10+ bikers there, some with pillions. Few new faces but the group gel together well along the trip. FRIENDSHIP BONDED. :)

Miracle’s HAYA-baja having some problem with the bike rpm idling at 4k rpm. Some of the guys help-out to trouble-shoot. Problem lies with her throttle cable stuck and Steve helped her to rectify. Problem solved and Miracle was happy that she gave Steve kisses which last seem like minutes, hours. Steve face was as his X9 becomes ‘RED BULB’.

Well, I exaggerated abit. Hmm ok in fact I added the last part of kissing. *Just to make it more lively…LOL.

As usual, rest with some catch-up chatting and we proceed to Machap followed by Pagoh petrol station with Eugene leading and Steve as sweeper. I leisurely followed Steve with Bryan and Oriental[Shadow400].

At Pagoh, the other Super-Four members arrived
– Lacerdust/Wee Li [though he nick is Stardust but we prefer to call him Lacerdust hehehee] with his partner, Jeanne
– Fling/Andy with his partner. [Didn’t get her name, trying not to be a RED BULB…heheee]
– Chawanmushi [hard for me to pronoun], Japanese egg with his partner [jialat, forget her name]
– Allan, met him 1st time
Lacerdust with partner, Jeanne

They traveled ‘open throttle 180kmh’ and able to meet us @ Pagoh. Actual they’re traveling at 160kmh constant and that’s the reason why Wee Li is called Lacerdust by us. Heheehe.

Total 18 bikes and we proceed to our destination, Malacca.

Eugene, the organiser

Eugene told me to be Marker. So I blur blur followed him to Ayer Keroh entrance point leaving the rest behind with Daniel’s taking over the leading role.

Reaching Ayer Keroh, Eugene asked me why I followed him, told him to be marker, right. He told me is AFTER MALACCA TOLL, hahahaaha.

His intention of getting Ayer Keroh 1st was to video the guys and gals on their bikes. Guess I’m the only one left out of his production aka Malacca 2B trip.

Into Malacca, we had our lunch [me very hungry, I did not eat breakfast], famous Chicken Rice Ball. The chicken meat is tender and nice. Kind of chewy. Somehow the rice ball, nothing special to me except it just looked like fish-ball.


Chicken Rice Ball stall, Chicken with rice balls look like fish balls; Me nonchalantly enjoying my Chendol

We also ate chendol and I tried the Mango ice-kacang. Not to my liking. The other members try the laska, food fritters etc…..

Half-way, Oriental called Eugene. He's coming over solo as he is late and missed the group.
We met him inside the Cendol stall and I ordered Mango Ice-Kacang - verdic: not to my liking.

The group separated into 3 and to meet again at 4pm where we parked our bikes. Malacca town is small, so won’t get lost easily.

At 3pm, Daniel and one of the SP biker had to leave and back to Singapore. Daniel a happy man as he had eaten what he wanted and bought what he wanted – pineapple tarts.

We walked around look see look see. It was hot and the group suggest we go to the shopping mall – for AIRCON. All the way to Malacca, we looked for AIRCON, crazy huh??? LOL

In the mall, we came to a interesting net surfing ‘vendor’ machine. Steve slotted in RM0.20 for 2 minutes of surfing time and we logged in clumsily due to time limitation to SBF, to make our presence ‘seem’ LOL.

Finally we called it a day and proceed back to GP Petronas via Machap, Pagoh for petrol stop. Along the way, WaitForMe, bike had to push start and bike dies off once throttle is off. He has to constantly ramp up his RPM to prevent bike's engine dies off.

We reached GP Petronas 9pm+ and the group went home. The Super-four group led by Bryan, hollanded and went straight into 1st link.

Eugene, Steve, Darren, Stanley & me proceed to meet up with Encik Pat at GP Petronas going to Johor. We’re at GP Petronas going back to Singapore….hmmmm. Wonder how to go back to meet Encik Pat without going to toll. Eugene made a ‘special’ U-turn and we meet Encik Pat’s gang.

Few familiar faces – Lao Uncle, Sam + partner. New faces – Rev’s, Vidak and some members who I do not know their name. A friendly bunch of bikers.....

We move-off. It has been sometimes since I rode at night in North South Highway, I like the silent night, cool weather, with only the front bikes rear red light as marker.

Reached Bt Indus, I ordered Frog’s leg porridge. The frog’s leg serving is generous and nice. Do not lose out to Geylang and Joo Chiat. Will patronized again when I’ve the time.

Frog's leg porridge

After makan, chatting, we proceed to next stall, the famous Old Town White Coffee for coffee!!!
I was too tired and did not really engage much on the conversation…all I want is a GOOD SLEEP now !!! LOL.

We went back around 1am. Gosh, Eugene, Steve, Darren, Stanley and me are dead tired, having been traveling whole day…..but feel good with the ride.

Eugene, Vidak, Darren, Steve tired-looked
