Here's to kick off a sketch to organize a meet and ride.

Roughly is after CNY... day trip, get to meet some of the members here, active or lurker, so can put a face to names.

Decide where to meet. Then, talk about date, time, and route.
Will propose someone else to take charge on route planning etc. I can't do all these, as I'm more of a follower, and don't have GPS on my bikes.

Some riding rule will apply, so please comply:
1. Bike is tip-top condition. Mine is not, is a 30 year old 2 stroke. So, at least make sure it's road-worthy.
2. Safety gear. Helmet, gloves, jacket, pants. It's for yourself.
3. Be punctual.
4. Leave your ego at home.
5. Ride your own ride. Don't let pressure get to you. If you are lost, just stop somewhere safe, make a call, and wait for assistance.


Additional tip:
- preferably number plate, L sticker, ekzos are compliant. I said preferred. It's up to you.
- got valid lesen.
- bring enough cash for petrol
- standby raincoat
- puncture kit
- spare key

alright, let the thread roll.....

Couple of destinations maybe.

Gunung jerai.

Expensive and likely won't let u up unless you are staying up there. Likely fully booked also. But good ride up the Twisties. Popular biker getaway.

Betong

Easy for first timers to pop their Thai motorcycling cherry if not yet dont so yet. Felda road from Gerik to border is pretty nice and deserted. Cheap food and accomodations. Close to everyone up north.  3d2n more than enough.
Penang

Normal days ok..CNY break no go....it's hard enough for kapchai to squeeze through narrow roads and traffic let a lone a big bike with panniers. However balik pulau road is a fun riding road. If planning to avoid city centre maybe doable. 2nd bridge to bayan lepas to balik pulau to dam. Then back track.

I say meet in ipoh

So the central/southerners can ride up n northerners can ride down..

Then head to Cameron via simpang pulai...tt...cameron is central enough for people to head back to their respective states be it north or south
*
I think this idea is start near for beginner bikers (I'm not sure, but I think there will be some), before riding highway and head further out.
Also, meet with new riders and familiarize with each other.

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.

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.

QUOTE(jaycee1 @ Jan 24 2023, 03:05 PM)
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.
Disclaimer
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.
