Wanted to go to Frasers Hill for a ride and to take some pics there and
also to stop at the dam.Left home a bit later than planned and took a spirited
ride to KKB via Ulu Yam.From there an excellent ride to Frasers through 30km
of twistys.On reaching the gap as i left home late gate was already closed.Rather
than wait an hour and watch the grass grow,i decided to head back and enjoy the
curves again.Made a brief stopover at the Sungai Selangor Dam. Due to the hazy
weather the hills had an almost unearthly quality.Very nice.
Slabbed home and total ride distance 240km.Total curves distance 60km
-Excellent.


Early morning hazy view of the dam


30 km of this


And this ; )



Finally reached.So near yet too lazy to wait for the gate to open.


At the gap



Took a short break then headed down.


Road along the dam.Nice long sweepers.

I decided to ride across the country to Kuantan for a bit
of R&R, a long ride and also to see an old friend.Finally got the
logistics involving work sorted out and made trip 3 days ago.
The day i left ,of course it looked like it was going to pour.Having
no choice as i couldn't go any other time i left with my fingers crossed.
The ride up into into the Genting hills was cold as the clouds were so
thick and dark.As i reached the East West highway it slowly started to
clear up.Finally the sun came out and Kuantan was bright and suny.
The bike was fantastic and the ride esp on the E-W highway was fantastic.
No other cars for miles and i was cruising at 150kmph non stop.The
scenery ,roads and the solitude made it one of the better rides so far.
Had a good time meeting up with old friends and stayed up till 4am drinking.
Left the hotel the next day at 10am and had another great ride back.
I have to say it again the Airhawk seat is worth every cent.
Total distance 650km.


View from my house at 8am.Should be really bright.


After the Genting area.Sky much lighter than up at the peak.


Looks better ahead.


Much better.
Short break after 2 hours of riding.


Finally the sun is out.excellent riding roads.Click to enlarge.


Nice


Really nice scenery.


Private parking at the Hyatt Kuantan.Think thats the MD's car.


I could live here.


Pool side bar.


Random shots


The beach.


More of the pool.



Halfabusa resting.


Ok room.Was hardly there though.


After a bath ,went to meet up with my friend for lunch
and to make plans for the night.
His kid is facinated with my helmet.


After the lunch,went back to the hotel grabbed a book and
went down to the pool for some R&R.
Best tonic in the best enviroment.



Rode home the next day and went back to work.Had a
good ride.
Cheers.
