When on a ride to Bukit Tinggi. It was a Sunday morning, meeting up point is the same BPH fuel station immediately after the Karak Toll, 7.30 am. As it was a Sunday, the meeting point was a bit crowed. High powered cars, motorbikes & even bicycle. There were at least 10 groups of motorbikes. Couldn't manage to take some photos as my buddy arrived and was already waiting for me. Striaght to Karak for Dim Sum breakfast.
Riding to Karak was at a leisure pace, long up & down hill curve. Traffic was light in the morning except for some high powered sports car, a couple of Porsche Panamera whooshing by. There were quite a numbers of bikes too, mostly racing bikes. Was only traveling at 100 m/h as my buddy shall wait for me at the Karak exit. On the up hill curve, over taking, had to kick down up to 2 gears down. Up hill climb wasn't too taxing as was riding at a leisure mode and with the morning cool air, was rather enjoyable.
Saw some farms coming up at Janda Baik. I guess this could be a good location for high value farming as it's rather close to the city. Also there are lots of weekend tourist here.
There were quite a numbers of Dim Sum shop in Karak. It had been ages since I came here. I guess it's being by-passed by the highway. 2 more buddy joined us, both Kawasakis, a ZX 6-R and a Z800. As usual, had a long chat on bikes, ridding buddies, riding adventure & etc.
After the long chat, we fueled up at Karak, our 2 buddies went off. We continued our ride to Bukit Tinggi. I find that there are lots of section of the highway which is not smooth and with traces of oil.
Right up to Bukit Tinggi was fun as there were practically no traffic. There were also minimum bumps, unlike Genting. There were only 1 curve that has traces of sand. Entrance fee was $12.00 per person.
Our first stop was Japanese Village.
Second stop is the French Village.
As we were still full with the morning's Dim Sum, decided to meet up at McDonald's Genting Sampah on our way back.
Had a light snack and another chat about today's adventure.
Called it a day at about 2.00 pm. Made our farewell and parted our ways. Riding back was down hill and was rather hot. I tried 120 km/h, but didn't like it as the vibration was higher. More comfortable with 100 ~ 110 km/h. Need to arrange my bike for a service before the next ride.
