2012 Indochina Tour - Day 4. Monday 17/12/12 - Pattaya toSihanoukville - 550km. Dudethat was fucking tough! Not many get excited with our bikes, so we're excited when someone does. Husref with his arsenal of tools when all the guy needs is a screwdriver. With my spaterring Thai, I said we didn't have one and how we were told we don't need one ( which is a complete and utter lie! Road block 0, lawless fellas 1. So now, with all the stories going on about riders with foreign vehicles being turned away at C...

2012/2013 Indochina Tour - Day 9 and 10 Siem Reap. What was it about the joys of being on a motorbike that you're one with your surroundings? Well at that moment I would have punched anyone who said those lines to me la. Red earth. Adventure! How many more km la? Turn left to Siem Reap. In case of emergency, open tankbag. But really, 1 second is sometimes more than enough to be the difference between being alive or being the other unpleasant alternative. School kids on bicycles wearing helmets. Even the ...

Sunny Cycle - Fork Oil and Ride Report. Went to Sunny Cycle. The job took about 2 hours, time that i use to check out what other stuff i need for my coming trip. Gotta set aside budget for more gear la. They work on all sorts. What I hope to achieve - Indochina. Getting the forks out. The quick ride from Sunny to my house already tells me that it feels different though i really needed a longer ride with twisties thrown in to validate. What else, Awana via Ulu Yam la. I'd summarise it as follow:. A sample...

I'm activating this blog again and good god, it's been a year since I last posted on this blog. I thought about what I want to post up and I realised I actually have tons, really it's tons ( I weighed em) that has so far not seen the light of day, well not publicly anyways. Let's watch the video now shall we then we can continue:. This is like 1 of the worst things that could happen to you when you are riding in a foreign country, to crash into someone while alone. Bear in mind that this is my 1st ov...

Father's Guesthouse, Eight Mentigi Guesthouse, Gerard's Place Guesthouse. This deserves a post all on it's own due to the pleasant experience we had in procuring accommodation in Tanah Rata. We made our way to Father's Guesthouse. Thinking of spending the night there only to be told that it was full, though the good people there did not leave us in a lurch and directed us to another guesthouse, Eight Mentigi Guesthouse. The gate is closed at night. We took the 2 single beds with attached bathroom and the...

I've been riding around with only 1 main key after losing mine in Gua Musang R&R in April, yes.you may read about this shit and how it happens to to others or somebody you know. Well, now I'm the somebody you know. So a quick visit to Auto Bavaria, well not so quick la kan since I left it for a few months before actually getting around to it to order it, sorted this little situation out. Note to self: dont lose this! Tool Tube and Puncture Kit Project. So first, let me show you what is in the kit. Now on...

An Ode to "Good Boy". Of course I pat myself on the back also coz I rode all those miles mah. Real miles ok.not put on treadmill you know. The next day we made our way down South. The plan which is not a plan is to get to Cherating hugging the coast as much as we could. This is when we passed Terengganu International Endurance Park(TIEP). How apt coz this is where my bike tasted it's first 100km. So some sort of homecoming la. Soft sand track beach bikes = awesome. My feeble and limp attempt at a burnout.

2012/2013 Indochina Tour - Day 8 (Phnom Penh part 1). Phnom Penh. Well unlike the last time where I kinda breezed through the place, we have a couple of days to spare in this city. We're staying at Salita Hotel. And for US25/night it's actually very decent. It's only a few months old when we got there so it's still clean and fresh. There's no underground parking for the bikes but we're happy enough with the 24hr security provided. Malaysia.you welcome also! Our security.good enough. Pretty flat I'd say.

2012/2013 Indochina Tour - Day 8 (Phnom Penh part2). Tuk tuk sir, tuk tuk sir, tuk tuk sir, tuk tuk sir, tuk tuk sir! But it's A for effort all round. Also, they'll try to cross sell or up sell when you say no. So these are the exact sequence of their salesmanship. TukTukGuy: You want Tuk tuk? TukYukGuy: You want girl? I bring you to college girl (we're pretty sure she was in college in 1969). TukTukGuy: You want girl massage? Oblivious to the fact that I'm standing in front of a massage place). Since we...

The JWs Tours Indochina - Post 1. It's my 7th day on the road since we left KL on Weds. Well on the road would not be the right thing to say cause I can safely say we're gonna be marooned in Chiang Mai until the 16th at least. Why? In the mean time let's catch up with the past week shall we. Ok first the map. Then again no one is paying me.just saying. Was raining when we left Wunderlich at 5pm.ya damn late. You can see David is happy to see us go.haha. 11pm by the time we reached Hat Yai. You can't take...
