either, i can apply leave early when the date is set

yeah, hope to meet some day

OK

thanks

I'm good with this since I will be at Ipoh all week up to 29th.

I can go Ipoh also, date can TBD later.

Well, meeting in Ipoh then ride up Cameron's via simpang pulai. Brinchang and tanah rata probably pasar malam jam packed all long week though. But best chance is after Wednesday weekday. Those from KL can just take the shorter route back down via old road-tapah.

It's another long weekend for KL folks on the 1st...so people might take Monday and Tuesday off.

I've already taken 1st to 4th off soooooo

Got min cc requirements or not?
Scare all big bikes show up small bike mana boleh ikut

See rules, ride your own ride.

I think la, small CC just go at comfortable speed, as long as got phone, ok one. Last time follow kapcai convoy, got member EX5 just slowly ride until meet point, then rest a while, then resume.

Maybe someday you buy big CC superbike, then we cannot chase u liao.

Ever try to keep up with orang asli down a twisty mountain road on a kapchai when he's on the hurry? Hahaha.


Ride your own ride. I think whoever the organiser would be will be going to set up rendezvous points for slower bikes and riders to catch up. Anyway, I don't like the idea of riding in a pack....that's when things usually go south real quick. . Better just set meet up points and time so we just meet there at various points.

Set a date.

I will check my schedule against the date. If no critical events then I can make time.

This is good for me to ride north.

Going to keep the ball rolling then.

If Ipoh/Cameron highlands then I will organize. Since I'm familiar with the route having been up and down a few hundred times.


Proposed Date: Friday 27th Cameron's Daytrip Simpang Pulai Route
Initial meet point : PETRONAS / Shell Simpang pulai. (Will add location links and coordinates later)
Time : 10am.

Those that arrive early can have breakfast at the kopitiam next to the PETRONAS. If Muslim riders, can meet at the PETRONAS on the road to camerons. Have a warung next to it. Both is about 2km ish from toll exit @ simpang pulai.

I set time 10am to allow for outstation guys enough time to arrive. KL guys should leave by 7.45am. Penang guys 8.30am. allow for extra time if on a slower bike.

Move out 10.30am (if you are late, just ride up, meet at next point)

11.30 rendezvous point 1. Banjaran cafe Vista point. Stop. . Have a smoke rest, whatever. Landslide area, so don't stand too near the edge.
12.30 Brinchang/Tanah Rata town. Lunch, shoot the shit, free and easy. Other POI/ Photo op can discuss later.

3.30. bung off. Ride home. Folks from south can use the shorter tapah route back. Hope everyone get home safe by 7pm before dark.



Rules.
1) don't bunch up together if want to ride together. Give enough room.
2) it is not a race. So enjoy the ride, weather and views
3) ride your own pace. We will wait for you.
4) obey traffic laws if you can. There are many double line sections with blind left hand corners. Overtake with care. Tapah route downhill tarmac rough and can be sandy. Caution needed.
5) bring tools, tyre repair kit. Pump if you have. Bring your own rain gear
6) full riding gear recommended for your own safety.
7) I'm not going to harp on your licence, L sticker , exhaust. Just don't run into other bikers in the group. You do you.
8) those with smaller fuel tanks, please inform early so can plan for fuel stops.

Weather of the day. Possible scattered showers in the mid to late afternoon. Bring rain gear...or wait it out. Traffic would likely be on the heavier side of things. Roads are narrow. Don't bring panniers if you can.

Those who are interested, please PM me the following info.
Name, phone number, bike, coming from, I will compile and do a temp whatsapp grp for those interested.

Your safety is your own responsibility. Lowyat.net and any participants or organizer of this ride and greet will not be responsible for you should anything unfortunate happen.

Despite the ipoh cameron thing being my idea...

Its quite unlikely that I can make it

Have fun guys n ride safe! Especially with the rain nowadays

No prob man.

It seems no one has replied yet, so I suppose the date is a no go. Let's KIV then. Do suggest any dates later.

If that's the case I'm going to extend my Thai stay.

Extend till Sunday, wait for me.. Haha..

Haha..

Even if extend, I won't be at betong lor. 4 days in betong do what7.

Considering doing a loop. Betong - yala - hatyai - back down dannok. But hatyai this Saturday looks like bad weather.

They repaved most of the road (highway 410) from betong to yala. Fresh tarmac. Very smooth. But also very slippery this morning when drizzling.

eat massage drink sleep repeat

Never tried that route before.. Was planning for it last September.. Betong - Yala - Pattani - Hatyai.. Too bad there are few small bombing that that time, so end up Hatyai only..

This is a good plan. I did something like this few weeks ago. I would join, but 27th weekend is unavailable for me.

Please KIV this one.

Penang/Kedah to Simpang Pulai is relatively near.
From there onwards, it's not highway, just chill ride towards Cameron. Rules are quite clear, risks are present.

I suggest first meet for Utara folks

Venue: Penang island (Caltex Jelutong, aka Caltex Udini)
Date: Feb 5th (Sunday) <== maybe many cannot
Time: 8am

Options:
- round island makan breakfast
- cross bridge makan breakfast

Please quote and reply yes/no and choice.

Would likely pass on this, being so close to my current Thailand trip. But who knows. I might get itchy butt if I'm back ipoh that week. You guys plan. If I can make it I will drop by if I'm in Ipoh. After all it's only 90mins ride from Ipoh.
