#3rd Week | #2nd Ride | 2013


this is the 3rd week of January 2013 and the weekend ride series continues after the Camping Ride which was held the weekend before. this time, i've invited Muhammad Adzri (Adik) and Jinggo to join me for the ride. since Jinggo bike is yet to be ready, he has borrowed Yasir Fat Boy for this ride and left Yasir at home.... hehehe... sorry brah...
our ride route = 135km

meet up point - Rawang R&R
the initial plan was to ride to Malacca. it has been awhile i've not riding to the historical state via the trunk road. I was planning to take some of the old Malacca houses along the way towards the town. unfortunately, the plan was not being materialized as we change the riding plan to Tanjung Malim instead for a breakfast ride.

that morning, Jinggo came to my house before we rode to the meet up point to meet Adik at Rawang. After 20 minutes ride from Subang Jaya we arrived Rawang R&R and Adik came slightly 3 minutes after we arrived. had 1 stick of cigarette, we jump onto our bikes and ride to Tanjung Malim.


Nothing much we did at Tanjung Malim except had a Nasi Lemak for breakfast and chit chatting about the ride. Jinggo suggested we detour to Kuala Kubu and chill ourself at the Pertak Waterfall. Since it was a hot weather that weekend and no objection to Jinggo plan, we make our move to the waterfall.

 We rode from Tanjung Malim to Kuala Kubu via the trunk road. Not much to view along the way except till i saw the road signage that show Kuala Kubu Road. From that signage then only i realized that the old trunk road was known as Kuala Kubu Road once upon a time. 

Kuala Kubu town is still a small town with not much development happening since my last ride to the same place 2 years back. We didn't spent much time around the town as Adik and Jinggo would want to dip themselves into the cilling water at the waterfall. not much story to share with you guys this time, except some awesome photos we took along the way to and comin back from KKB. enjoy.... :-)

#1st Week | #1st Ride | 2013


I was driving to Puchong last Saturday eve after the whole day doin nothing at home when suddenly  i received a phone call from Rid (Mohamad Riduan) inviting me for a ride on Sunday with a bunch of Sea Shepherd supporters. Without taking much time to think, i accepted the invitation and has promised Rid to meet him with the rest of the members at Puchong Gateway on Sunday morning.

I've proposed to Rid that the route for Sunday ride will be towards to Morib using combination of trunk road and highways.


As promised, i woke up early on Sunday morning and rode my bike to the meet up point at Puchong Gateway. 10 minutes late from the promised time and upon my arrival i saw Raez, Yassir, Jim, Rid and Aida already waited for me at the Petronas petrol station. Reza and Adzri can't make it with the group this time due to their late appointment last nite. As usuall, we had a stick of cigarette before makin a move when suddenly Abang Nazli stoppin by with his GS to say hi to us.


So 6 of us, that it... good enough to start the ride that morning and we make a move towards the SKVE to Morib. The initial plan was to ride through Dengkil - Banting trunk road but due to Yassir proposal, we have chosen the SKVE highway toward Panglima Garang in Klang.


It was a great day to ride, great weather with the blue sky and fresh air passing through us on the rides. SKVE Highway is still quiet with vehicles, perhaps not many people knew about it... so we took this advantage to ride and view the beautiful scenery along the highway. Only few spots on the highway were not even but manageable to ride safely.






Upon reaching at the end of the highway, we entered the trunk road from Teluk Panglima Garang towards Banting town. Traffic was quite heavy around the small town with people busy doing their weekend shopping at the market area.


6 Harleys on the road is great enough to shake the town with our roaring engine sound, but it just for awhile before we proceed the ride to Morib.

Arrived at Morib, we stop for a breakfast beside the beach. Not many people were around the place... perhaps it was too early for people to go picnic beginning of the year. As usual, we had chit chat over the breakfast and took some photos before heading back to KL using the same route.

The route we chose in general was a good route to ride. Many things you could see along the road and highways, mainly the scenery of traditional village houses and plantation. Good distance to cover for a short weekend ride so that you'll be back at home before lunch time. Just need to be extra careful of the local motorist that came out to the main road from the small junction and those that turn into the intersection from the main road.


Till the next ride... ride SAFE!!
