Ever since I have gotten the bike I have been riding around town.
Something that I normally wouldn't do, due to reasons. One, my V6 engine is not the best fuel economic out there, I get around 8 km/l on my car, compare the the bike's around 25 km/l.
Riding is fun. I get to ride around bends, and for those who doesn't bike, riders LOVE bends, winding roads and so forth. Ever since I started riding, I have introduced myself a new way to exploring the city. So far in the past 2 months, I have rode to Carey Islands in Klang, Titi Kong at Semenyih, Ipoh, Morib, Kuala Selangor and Genting with the last 2 destination riding solo.
And yes, the usual comment and the stare that I get from friends and relatives is with their eyes rolling and a surprised look on their face. Yes it is true that riding is dangerous, it is high risk and we riders do know the risks involve. We do wear our helmet, jacket, gloves and other necessary gears to ensure, well...we're "safer". And I'd like to mention, a good insurance policy with good PA coverage should calm your wife at home, at some length at least.
Here are some photos of some of my trips.
This are the picture I took on the morning the gang and I rode to Titi back in early Jan 2012.
Taking a break at Kuala Klawang - Titi.
This was my trip from PJ to Genting Highlands via Batang Kali.
View near Genting Highlands.
This is the temple near the top of the Genting Hill. Casino operator is smart to let people say a few prayers to calm their nerves down before cashing in?
The view from Genting.
Took this picture as I was leaving Genting Highlands.
This is the picture I took when I rode to Morib on a working day. I hit the road once I left office and it took me around an hour to arrive the Morib beach from Subang Jaya. Breath taking view.
