The journey begins..

First and foremost both the old Black Beauties were given the royal treatment to ensure a safe and sound journey..



Does embarking every weekend for 24 weeks on a bike journey through the unbeaten track of the peninsula sounds like an adventure ?  It sure does if loosing your way through the hot afternoon sun and the occasional heavy thunderstorm is your idea of a good adventure.


It all began last Saturday with the meter reading of 2240 mls / 3,604 km. and the first venue Trolak Selatan was not a disappointing one either. Going through the highway and exiting Sungkai is where the journey takes you through oil palm plantation. Yes the ocassional 'babi hutan' darting across the road was as expected as ever but surprisingly this time it happened within the Felda gated residence.

Once again the food was simply as kampung as you can possibly get - sambal belacan and the works.. Not surprisingly the local folks speak loghat Kedah as any other Felda Settlements elsewhere.

On the way home it was a definate pit-stop at ye old kueh pau joint made famous by the old apek on the corner of the main trunk road.

 

It now boasts a network of other joints in the city of KL where some people say this may affect the ori taste.

 

So a couple of 'bungkus to be kukus' later made their way into the box and off we went on the journey back to KL.

 A very wet and satisfying journey that is...

Next Kota Tinggi or maybe Gua Musang..

Cadangan yang memang chun dokuan... akan tetapi macamana nak ambik video sambil bawa moto? Sedangkan gambar foto sendiri pun jarang ada, asyik saya aje yang dok ambil gambar kawan kawan.

Mungkin boleh pasang video camera atas helmet. Kena tanya parachutist base jumpers. Siapa boleh bantu?
