BMW R nineT: First Ride Impression

One of the group member while on the break of riding suggested he wanted to test ride the R nine T and we made Auto Bavaria our next stop. On the way over we stopped by at a coconut shop and he had to go due to some prior arrangements. Since there was another member who wanted to test the S1000RR, I decided to take the R nineT out for a spin.

We reached Auto Bavaria and took over a coffee table with our helmets before heading up to the Motorrad section to find Gary to register for our ride.

Helmets galore: LS2 Valiant, HJC IS-Max II and Icon Airflite

Ride Report #12: First Ride of the Year

After the Christmas ride, the group started planning for a ride for the New Year. Since the group did not manage to ride up Jerai the last time they were there they decided to ride up Jerai as the first ride of the year. There was a total of 7 riders who joined the ride and one of them came all the way up from Ipoh.

As usual the riders from the island met at Caltex before meeting up the second group at Shell Sg Dua. Once all the riders have gathered at Shell, I gave a short ride briefing before the group headed off. I took point because the rest did not have GPS on them and Alex took the role of sweeper. We headed off north until we reached the Gurun exit (Exit 173). We regrouped after the toll and when I saw Alex coming in from the toll, I continued to lead the group to Jerai. This time instead of turning right to Pedu, we turned left and headed to Jerai.
