Sepang MotoGP Ride, 19 Oct 2008

Kawasaki Malaysia invited all Kawasaki bike owners to join the 'big ride' to Sepang MotoGP 2008 on 19 Oct 2008. An opportunity that I couldn't miss to be part of the big Kawa family. Their target was to gather 300 bikes (all kinds) in Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur and ride together on a 6okm journey to Sepang International Circuit (SIC). The ride started at 930am and we reached SIC at around 1015am. And we had brilliant day afterwards.

Port Dickson Ride - 12 Oct 2008

It was a hot day in the morning and raining in the evening but we endure all for our very first long ride together for the first time. To sum it up ... it was FUN! There were some incidents but it won't cover our grin from ear to ear (though you couldn't see it as we were all wearing full-face helmets with tinted/iridium visors).

The Ride trivia:

  • 37 Ninja 250R joined the rides
  • Other bikes : 1 ZX10R, 1 ER6N, 1 KLE and 1 D-Tracker
  • 2 Rep from Kawasaki Malaysia lead the convoy
  • 3 guys from Media joined our ride (you should start buying Berita Harian from today)
  • 5 ladies joined the ride as pillion (we will convert them as riders soon)
  • We had free lunch at Port Dickson and free food again at Sungai Pelek on the way back (TQ Bad for the open house)We were all wet when reach home!
Now, let's the pix do the talking ...

Thank you to the Ninja 250R riders, Kawa Reps and Media Team in making this a memorable ride. Thank you to Kirana for holding a special open house at his bungalow. You All Rawk!

Selamat Hari Raya!

Just coming back from a long holiday trip back to two kampungs (hometowns) - Sitiawan and Muar. A tradition for most folks in Malaysia during the festive season is going back to their hometowns. It's in the blood already .. whatever how bad the traffic conditions, people still hit the road to balik kampung. Hope that all of us have a safe journey and already back home to continue our normal life.
Selamat Hari Raya to all my friends! Maaf Zahir Batin.
