Our route.
Attraction:
Rengit & Pengarang are old traditional fishing village
World War II British Ops Centre
Big in Kulai.
The stars of Edmun Cheng and Xiang Yun are still shinning in Kulai.
Property advertisement.
We had breakfast at Kulai. There are 22 bikes on this ride.
I sat next to Daniel, an Australian who rides a VFR. I was shocked when he ordered the famous super-big tau pao at Yun Lai and conversed to the kopi tiam auntie in mandarin.
I asked him how come he knows how to speak mandarin? He replied in complete phrases of Beijing-accented mandarin that once he went to tour China for 4 months. And he had no choice to learn mandarin. Because everyone down there speaks mandarin and little english. He has to learn to speak mandarin, othewise, no hotel, no food, no transport...
Trucks also got siamese-twin type joined at the hips?
One on right of photo kena accident and become pai kah cannot move.
One on the left come and rescue and shift its cargo (sand) over to carry on delivery.
Route 90, en-route to Pengerang.
Route 90 is like a road kena carpet bombed. Craters left and right. Got to split in between craters at times.
Ride along J52, along the southerntip of east coast of Malaysia was fantastic.
Flat plains all around.
Coconut trees blowing in the strong sea breeze on the left.
Beyond is the South China Sea.
Arriving at Sungei Rengit. I think its landmark is a huge prawn.
Our bikes attracted a crowd of young fans.
Reached Sunget Rengit, a town before Pengerang.
Beautiful view of the sea. And can see lots of large cargo ships moored out in the sea in front.
The flat green at the background is Pengerang, where we are supposed to head to.
When there, supposed to be able to see Singapore.
You can actually take a boat from Changi Village and take you to Pengerang.
After riding so far to get here, a photo to capture the moment that might never return.
House with a view of the sea.
A few feet in front of the house is the South China sea.
Fantastic place to live in as retirement home. But need RM130K.
Tall coconut trees lined both sides of the road.
You know you are near the sea when you see so many coconut trees.
We stopped by the roadside to take photo.
This road is interesting because rarely, the sea is just next to the road.
Me and my marvelleous and dependable Vice.
The STX1300 never fails to amaze me with its athletic finesse even though I have already experienced it before already.
It is not a tourer. To me, it really is an upright Blackbird.
We reached the jetty, Jeti Tanjong Pengelih, that is at the southermost tip.
But cant see Singapore leh. And nothing much to see. Snap a photo and we u-turned back.
We had lunch at Sungei Rengit town.
I ate my kin. This is wild boar dish. That animal is my Chinese zodiac.
Sunray bursting through the cloud cover.
The weather today was great. No rain and cool somemore.
Another stunt photo of mine.
What's so special of this photo?
I was the leader of the convoy back. And I took a photo of the convoy, turning myself facing backward, while still riding.
Entering Kulai town on the return trip, saw aftermath of an accident.
The Malaysian Vios langga into the rear of a small lorry. Huge jam behind.
The woman from the Vios, still suffering from the impact.
The End :)
