A Quick Trip To KK

Recognize these places....of coz... U just cross the border, an entrance and an exit to another land...which a road will bring U to a city...KK. This morning a ferry trial to Labuan and it just couldn't ferrying me to Menumbok a short cut way without going so many chops..!!! Ok ...standard fast enough is around five to six hours. Without delay..during this fasting day as well as school day...

May be U got the experiences of travelling where Ur blood temperature became unnatural especially during the school holiday which is coming soon....Here am I, going to KK....what KK??? eeehh..Kota Kinabalu ...lah  'bro'....so many stops...so many checks to follow .....

At the river Panduran is a place where U'd to be patience before U jump into another ferry as the 1st is at Temburong. Next time U come here, U wouldn't know the existance of this milky river.....coz.... a bridge is ready for use at any time. Probably this coming 'Hari Raya'  ... It would be history...how hard & difficult we crossed the river...

This is a brand new looked border building with new road..new faces....etc.. ..between Sabah and Sarawak...both Malaysia... Don't U feel...something wrong...may be......Of coz...double check....lah..

The stalls along the road are busy doing business, and so the towing peoples probably smiling also....risk of the crowds with eyes everywhere. But they couldn't see the front...????...funny...ehh

HERE we come and have a rest....nice location to look out. Please look around if U want to stay here...not bad  ...but, make sure U'r safe cos the plane is flying over there...

Sungkai time is coming.....it means Berbuka Puasa...lol, Taken,..... on the way to 1 Borneo.
See U...I am going to Sandakan.....

• 1100cc..more power...laju pekah                    400cc...less power ...aboviously..kura2 ni

• easy handling                                                      easy ride..sama jua ni kira2nya...  

 Not to regret   .......too ..

The purchase was not the right timing cos' I already got "Kawasaki Voyager" and "Drag Star 400"....awu...masa atu awa basar.... Did,.. felt some sort of a burden...lol..

Tried to offer close friends but...somehow, not turned out to be my favour....even though..got a friend to give a trial ride home...ok...firstly no problem...but, when..U returned precious thing  back without single word..??? n..just left in front of Ur door...There must be something wrong....

And, there was another biker's trial again,.... used the motor as a regular daily vehicle to his station...  but, when trouble came..

Just left it home. No words too...so a quick action plan....had to tow it (by the owner) to the workshop for repair which later cost more then 1K..lol.. Very unfortunate cos people tend to take advantage...if U're too good...

So...felt frustrated, I intended to make use of it for my self...karit ni..awa basar tau tah... And so, early 2008, news came around to welcome Yamaha owners to join tour to Sandakan....hoorryyy..

Enrolled and that was it.......here I got a few pictures..to tell n show..

I think,  it was the peak condition of the machine I ever had used during my ownership. It was fabulous...another word of my expression when I rode the virago. The machine got power, nice to look, chopper looked, easy to ride...lol,, I loved it too,,few 'bro' bikers raised their heads and questions....for SALE kah tu???

At that time, the machine would cost me a 'fortune' ..of coz....probably 5 - 7K...eeeh..eh..not really market price...but...I just kept my mouth closed. NOT for sale..konon.....stupid UU...merajok kah ni...

To make it short,  I nearly forgotten the existence of the machine if not a friend come to my door and offer to take and buy it lately, the price was a win win purchase/sale situation 'cos' U know as I said earlier I  forgot about  it as I was much enjoyed and busy with my new bikes..Honda Goldwing and Yamaha XJ900P....(thats would be another story to tell...???)

I sold it much less then as expected, but..both party were happy at least at the end. The machine was not in perfect condition, so I had to compromise for the feeling unsatisfactory and guilt, when U let go something was not in tip top condition. Further more I was asked the favour  . and in return.....boleh runding lah........end....

.

The children 's instinct can tell us how they also feeling the enjoyment even though they just sit on the motorcycle seat. Of coz' the bigger, the mature, the older, the person, they tend to.....say......what   ????   Uuu know what...all the same, even though to us could be different answers.......n..perceptions..  Only bikers may understand....

All the way to Sandakan by two wheels. 
Anybody NOT happy....??

me.....Gwing1313 with Virago.....
U may know the other faces..too...

Long distance journey is very tiring...If U're not aware, 
and careful. That is called careless.
Accident can happen any where and any time....
so..... tau sendiri la.....

SANDAKAN memang popular dengan tempat Sepilok. 
Jadi, ani tah geng-geng SEPILOK.
Ada persamaan di orang ani kah..????

Top left- our fellow biker, Dr Phillip Mooi and bottom right - Alex and other Yamaha bikers...kenal-kenal la sendiri. 
Orang kuat and orang setia Yamaha di orang ani....

Owned           : 27 Mach 2006
Resell            :       April  2008 

Taken..YAMAHA XPDC To SIBU

This is part of the long story......reason for the purchase of YAMAHA drag STAR XVS400....

Why NOT  !!!...Not to hesistate.....after years.....once a long time since I owned a motorbike.....U know....what U felt at that time..... like 1st Love....nya orang....deh...my heart beats gone fast......so...!!!. It was Hj Talip Hj Aji's bike.....ok... not only me, everybody excited...!!!..Once I rode to Semporna Jetty...our 'bros' seemed did't believe their own eyes......sekarang lawan taukey udah ni.... 


As a backup driver....I got a long conversation with Rosli Hj Tuah. He was upset & gave up cos' of thats' unfortunate accident. Of coz...I took adventage of it.....it began here....the story....eeeh. and so the following "extracted" pages from "RODA RODA" a malay motor magazine, taken from September 2006, was submmitted, broadly telling a reporting style from a dear friend, and now the president of Kembara Bikers - Hj Yazid Hj Aji.......its NOT the end....it was the begining......inda apa....! ! ! ! !  ... akhir... zaman...na... orang...?..?..?

D' STORY FIRST OWNED 70S MOTORCYCLE

U want to hear the story...........ok.....

Once....owned a Suzuki 250cc motorbike...BB7835. Not a scrambler motorbike, but most likely multi dual road/off-road motorcycle....Sorry..not too concern cos' I'm only a rider.....- we refer later on the web site....

Friends were rare to own xtra transportations cos' most people prefer cars...cars... a status symbol of coz!!! I was single, so got xtra money to loan...a car n at the same time a motorcycle too. Then, I was a SPI Anggerek Desa teacher, a place near my home. Quite often rode to school but if I got lots of HW/books to correct, I had to use my Lancer 1200cc BB1710...happy,  life was simple....

The bike was underused...left untouched at home. No biking activities...except if U're a scrambler enthusiast....motor crossing....believe it or not...never rode far beyond....as to Muara, Tutong, not mentioning KB..KK....except Bandar Brunei.

1980..oh..oh..posted to Temburong...later decided to take the bike there. U know...unlike today...Temburong, like a foreign isolated district...only reachable, by water taxi..ferry..boats.. Had to ferry, either govt. ferry or the one stones carrier ship...empty back to Temburong to carry cars or any big land transport.

A good favour cos' we're his  regular passengers, Hj Juara's speed boat let us carried bikes to Bangar. A colleague, Hj Azani Hj Pudin joined me to carry his bike too....Done..but not too long...back later cos' left Bangar in September 1980 as I got a scholarship to study abroad..... later....Not known..what happened...let my parents sold it...eh.........End.

WYWY is a popular spot for any ages,  cos' of the athmosphere here is open to all generation, especially younger people. Bikers are welcome.  Late people had to Q to collec food ready to break. All of us by motors were WET. Almost all the way, the rain was not in favour for this ride. Bad NEWS, one of our spots bike rider got an accident. He was not injured but the motor had to be towed to BSB. According to Hj. Asmali, about 55 bikers turned up. NOT bad actually,,,so we could have extra drinks. TEH Tarik.....RAIN...rain... rain. Couldn't wait, we had to leave around 9.30pm for home. Roads were full of water..U know KB roads, - not mentioning highway roads. Stop at filling St. before proceed to BSB but still in rain. End up at JP for hot TEH Tarik.........end.

Saturday 21st August 2010 at 4.00pm at JP - JERUDONG PARK
All models -Yamaha motorcycles owners...scooters, sport bikes, easy rides, touring were assemble here for the SUNGKAI RIDE to KB. Yamaha was supposed to 'belanja' and donate some amount of money for the 'makan' at the destination when time to break  'Puasa'. Haji Asmali as an owner of Yamaha bike as usual authorised to lead and he gave a brief  instruction to all riders. As expected about 85 members registered their names for this ride.
