I attended my 1st ever track day at the Sepang International Circuit on the

23rd of August. As i'm a normal rider and not an expert or racer i was initially

hesitant ,but you only live once right ? .Now the place is full of racers getting in

practice laps and guys riding up from Singapore just to go fast.

R1s ,GSXRs ,RSV4s ,KTM RC8s ,Ducatis and so many powerful bikes were there.

And there i was with my 2 cylinder ninja.Sent a shiver down their spines i tell you.

The first few laps were done to familiarize myself with the 5 km course with its

15 corners- 10 right and 5 left.After that i was let loose to fly ( - my pace of

letting loose is a fast trot compared to the other riders).

We did about 5 laps then came in for a break, then another 5 and so on.

I was the slowest rider among everyone but i tell you , i had a blast.I was

riding at 95% of my (minimal) capabilities and that i've never achived on

the streets .After a few hours of playing i left for home.

What a worth while experience.Still got a grin on my face ; )

I had to renew my passport at Port Klang today and i was told
i'll have to wait for atleast 2 hours for it to get done.Hmmm whatever
shall i do??? Pulau Carey is a place i've always wanted to visit and
since i was nearby with time to waste off i went.
After a few miles of traffic the roads opened up and the ride was nice
and smooth.The ''island'' is separated from the mainland by a ? river ?.
Thus some don't consider it a proper island.Nowadays its mainly palm oil
plantations but there are a few places of interest.I mainly wanted to
ride the length of the island and visit Hatters Castle.
Total distance today 150km.Been a long time from my last ride,needed this badly.


The ? river

Roads through the plantations


After riding about 15km the roads literally falls apart

Lands end.


The straits of Malacca.One of the busiest shipping lanes in the world.

Hence the brownish water.

Low tide now and i think this used to be a mangrove swamp.

Love pics of my bike : )

Hatters Castle. Actually the early british plantation manager's residence

in the 1900s.

Currently i think its a guest house.I keep trying to take

pics if the house but the bike keeps coming

into the frame .AArrrrrggghhhh.

Told her to behave.Finally.Beautiful lawns.

Sipping tea on the verendah a 100 years ago

Made my way home after getting my new passport.

Nice ride.Cheers.
