I notice that there's no thread to gather all of the bike pics or places of interest that you have been.
Most people (including me) just post at the casual bike talk. And it'll soon be lost in all of the casual talk that we do over there.

So maybe a specific thread to gather all of the interesting places that you have been with your bike.
A placeholder of some sort so that others can maybe visit or plan to visit the same place.

In order to do that, include the GPS coordinate for the location or at least a rough guide to the place.

I'll start.
This is a place i stumbled upon while going back to the office from Padang Besar.

I subject my dominar to worst. Haha.



Needed to be extracted by a 4x4 after slipping off the "road"

The s123s were completely useless on mud and dirt... Hahahaha... Not that it was meant to be anyway. Crashed on the way down, crashed on the way up. Need my 30/70s back...

But fun.

No rear traction on the rear, no forward momentum to plow through....... Heavy bike + camping gear... Whatever happened was inevitable.

That dog tho... LOL..!!!

One more for the album.

It's not just the ride. It's also for the destination.

Wow looks really slippery.
Heading to a waterfall?

This is at that genting campsite? Near petron?
Looks nice you have the GPS location? Hehe

Yeah. Rained the previous day and the morning. Hard clay with a layer of soft clay on top. You really need knobbies for that sort of environment. Even my old 30/70s would pack up with clay and turn to slicks. My front corsa cross X were completely useless too.

Slid for 20m going downhill before I decided to dump the bike as I was heading for the trees. Minor damage on the shifter and crash bar but that's the benefit of the dominar. Tough bike and cheap spare parts. You won't want to do this with a 1250gs or any big, heavy and expensive bike.

Going up was the repeat just with lower velocity.

Important is you don't get injured. Full gear helps.

The other one is indeed genting. But it's off limits now after the batang Kali incident. You can probably picnic there for a short time but no more camping allowed. Left right side on the road, 200m from that petron mini roundabout to Amber court.

that's why cheap bikes better for offroad. a fall won't be too expensive to repair.

2°47'21.6"N 101°56'54.4"E
https://goo.gl/maps/MAGfG81KdNi9tp4A8

seems like that stretch is getting busier nowadays.
when i went there, there's nobody. not even a single car. even thought to myself i might have the wrong place since nobody there

Right. If I were to replace the shifter and crash bar, the damage bill will be 70 and change.

And smaller , lighter bikes will be easier to handle off road.

I reshare my nostalgia? Lol

You don't need a big expensive bike to have an adventure. In many cases you might just have even more fun and adventure on a kapchai. Light, reliable, cheap to run, go anywhere capability.

If you are an avid cyclist, I can probably assume your bicycle is more expensive than my Dominar 400....and many other bikes for that matter.

Something like this will have better go-anywhere-capability than a big adventure bike for estimated 6.5k. coming in later this year.

Aveta Max 125

Want!

taitianhin
Go Genting then no hot lo

Aveta Max 125 is only 6.5K? Philippines below 70K peso or RM5,700.

further down the same road, before the traffic light junction.


i frequently take the long route home to stop for a drink here.


where are you from? kedah people?


yes it's the two hills clearly visible when going to padang besar.
there's a scenic farm beneath the foothill and quite popular photo spot.

actually you'll only feel hot if you're stuck in traffic.
out in the open road, you won't feel hot since the moving wind will cool you down.

Finally my brother bought the same bike this year, but updated model and kitted like mine.

Wifey from Sg. Daun. Me from Taiping.

Just passed them and didn't take any pics. Maybe next time.



With the Old Reman (Rahman) Kingdom's boundary stone in Lenggong.







I also ride kapcai

When I asked Aveta at the motor show, they said RM8.8k estimated. Hope your price is more correct.

From my recent trip to Kuala Terengganu. A picture with "The Bridge".

i don't usually ride at night, but need to go get something from decathlon.
first decathlon outlet in the northern region at gurney drive.

had a long roadtrip last weekend.


started from perlis.
morning, 7.30am.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/6vEbX9fvb9DJeGkLA


it slowed down and intermittent jam climbing menora.
and stopped completely inside menora tunnel. i stopped before entering menora to check if there's an accident or fire or a zombie attack inside the tunnel.
i hate zombie attacks.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/ePWWfDdo8QPfUBPq5


climbed up ampang viewpoint.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/vcLGYfB3KBQPhrSAA

from ampang went to banting to attend a workshop about bamboo.


https://maps.app.goo.gl/ETRETHyWu5zfmGey7

it's done at tadom hill resort. a resort made (mostly) out of bamboo.


after the work ended, went to seremban to visit my kid at a school there.


decided i haven't gotten enough. so continued the trip to johor.
stopped by this scenic road heading to gunung ledang.


https://maps.app.goo.gl/qgKwbvSyqtKKqypn7
never had the chance to stop here when i drove. now on a bike, alone, i make the time.
good thing about solo rides is that there's no schedule to stick to.
you stop where you wanna stop. you go where you wanna go. you do whatever you feel like doing.



continued to taman negara gunung ledang entrance.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/pMKTrqMqfkQaANHu9

didn't feel like hiking since this is not the destination yet.

continued further south till the end of the road.

arrived at tanjung piai, the most southern tip of mainland asia continent.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/qRyZxpKi3hcjQaau9



afterwards rode back to ampang.

added 714km to the odo for this johor trip. 8 hours on the saddle and surprisingly i didn't feel any sore.
longest single day trip, longest time on the saddle.

since not feeling tired, the next morning at 5am i rode back to kedah.

added a total of 2176km for this entire trip. 26 hours on the bike spanning a few days.

didn't feel as tired like i would in a car. which is really nice.
now feeling itchy wanna ride to taman negara pahang and camp there.

no bontot kebas during the whole trip?
triumph tiger is that comfortable huh

also thanks for putting up the google map links, marked some for my next visit

Sometimes a bit kebas during the trip. Need to reposition here and there.
Every 2-3 hours or so I stop to topup petrol and have a drink.

But nothing like a sore bum or numb hands. That's why I could ride back to kedah the next morning.

ok lah.... means can direct kedah - phuket dengan senang. hahahaha

Thats nice, I get sore bum everytime I ride more than 1 hour.. trying to figure out how to reduce those.
Is it the seat or feet positioning I have no idea

Bump

Perghhh tabik spring.

Just got my passport renewed today for the Ampang - Pakbara ride at the end of the month with my wife. That's a good 8 hours at least with all the necessary breaks in between.

I can't do all those iron butt endurance rides ppl like to do now that I'm diabetic at 50. Tambah dgn cholesterol meds lagi lah, that shit saps energy. Dulu badan kuat, redah je... now hv to manage my energy levels coz if I tire out it buggers my concentration when riding which freaks me out coz it's dangerous.

Kadang-kadang jeles gak tengok org bikin the Thousand Corner ride and even the Tri Nation ride within a week. I'll need 2 weeks to do it, but that's the kind of break I can't afford to take given my work and studies.

I did that with another buddy one and a half years ago, Friday afternoon Danok, Saturday go Phuket, Sunday back

I did kl direct to phuket in a day june last year with 2 friends.. 16hrs on the road....was fun but exhausting

8 of those hours were with a wet boot coz we got caught under sudden heavy rain....my friend n i got fungal infection on our feet after that...sheesh.

Bought waterproof riding pants to pair with my waterproof boots so water won't go in from the top. Them fungal infections r fucking annoying

that is not good... I prefer 'air' boots, with thin socks, so yes they soak up, but they dry up also
but, first time hear fungal at feet from rain water.... other parts kena fungal after a trip to Thai is more... common

how long before the feet recovers? I heard they stay on for quite a while, and desperate measure calls for bleach soak

my trip was mostly dry with drizzles, adding to the road constructions along the way, so our bikes were covered in red/brown grit which took a few washes to get rid of

eventually, I may go for overland adventure motorcycling with those waterproofing gears, but right now, I don't mind getting wet and uncomfortable at the expense of travelling light, though I do pack a set of very old, leaking rain overalls. I am more worried about grip, traction, braking and visibility when it comes to that because I would hate to stop and prefer to keep moving and enjoy every moment

last time when using kapcai to go Sepang watch MotoGP, a good water-beading helmet visor was all I needed to make my way in the rain

Its not the rain water...its the prolonged damp environment....n its not just water...sweat too...n lets admit it....everyones feet is gonna be some form of dirty no matter wat.

Fungal infection on feet also known as athletes foot.

Can be 2-3 weeks with treatment..ive had longer n have heard of even longer..that includes creams n also bleach soak. I also carry anti fungal.powder which i put on before wearing the boots n after reaching destination n mandi. Also when the infection is active...all this to try keep the feet dry. Worst part, once u get it....very high chance of it coming back. Didnt learn about all this shit untill i actually kena the damn thing.

Actually bleach soak/baths are good to have periodically.... especially if u have eczema. We malaysians are more into dettol baths, but dettol only works for virus n bacteria n germs...whereas bleach is all encompassing as it kills everything...ratio is abt the same as a typical swimming pool water.

I dont like stopping for rain hence the waterproof boots n pants. Jacket is still mesh as legs getting warm isnt an issue but body getting warm can be bad....will wear raincoat if the rain looks like.its.gonna be heavy n long.

I thought it's called "hong kong feet'

yeah, heard about bleach wash from eczema treatments as well
some just curi2 go public pool, tsk...

my mantra in finding the next bike is finding one that is comfortable to ride as it is.
even if it's a bit uncomfortable for me then bye bye no matter how much i like it.

a comfortable bike on stock with a bit of tweak here and there will make it even more comfortable for long distance.
currently the tiger is more comfortable than driving my car. no aircond, no glass bubble, no AV system but i'd rather take the bike to KL than the car.

yeah man i'd rather take it nice and slow nowadays.
there's so much to enjoy while riding.

the tip that i'm using for any long term tour is 5 4 3 2 1
5 underwear
4 shirt
3 trousers
2 socks
1 jacket
and whatever that i'm are currently wearing.

that is all that i need. fill only hallf of my backpack.
after 2-3 days i visit the coin laundry.

tried some of the all weather riding gear with closeable vents.
not enough ventilation. hot.

i'd rather wear mesh jacket and carry a raincoat. cheaper and more comfortable.

thats what im doing with the jacket/raincoat combo oso...just pants n boots waterproof.

my boots are the revit link gtx and pants is alpinestar andes v3. both of these are fine with me and i also wear compression wear as inner.

Waterproof touring jacket & pants are impossibly hot when it doesn't rain, which is 85% of the time. To me, heat exhaustion is a bigger threat compared to getting soaked.

So when touring, I too go with a mesh jacket and dri-fit clothes underneath that dry quickly. You'll get wet when it rains but the idea is to dry out quickly afterwards as you ride due to the airflow and textile choice. In our weather, the mesh jacket is enough to keep me from shivering compared to not wearing a jacket at all.

If I'm expecting really heavy rain, my hi-viz yellow rainsuit comes on.

I keep 2 complete change of clothes and shoes in the office. On the return trip home, however, who cares if I get soaked to the bone coz I'll need a bloody shower after work anyway.

Moto camp with my little cub

First trip of 2024 to Thailand & Penang. She was supposed to ride her own bike, but neither of her bikes was available to make the trip.

If you heard the news saying visitors to Thailand are required to bring 15000 baht cash with them, well... bollocks. Customs didn't ask jack shit other than for the 20 baht fee to process the paperwork for bringing my own vehicle into Thailand.

Oh.. here's an interesting observation... my previous Michelin Anakee Adventure 100/90-19 front used to tramline quite a bit, where it would grab any rut in the tarmac. The new cheapo Maxxis MaxxVenture 110/80-19 doesn't do it anymore! Pretty happy so far for the paltry RM950 (incl installation & balancing) I paid for the set! And I enjoyed the newfound silence of the non-blocky tread pattern throughout the 1350km trip.

The new Future Eyes F150 aux lights' yellow low beam was a godsend coz it rained like hell on the return leg. It was useful without pissing off other drivers with the blinding blast of white light of the previous set.

Visited the tallest dragonfruit structure and farm

hi all.. reporting in.. always a silent reader here
stop riding since 2016, but bought a versys last month, didnt like it, sold and get this boy today!

Pangkor trip

How to bring bike onto the island?

Use goods ferry, RM135 for both way

The road up to mossy forest Cameron Highlands got a space to stop to take photos. Don't think you can do it on weekends though. Was here on a weekday

Nice. I used to stealth camp around the corner.

Staying in KL this Raya, where to go for ronda2?

what type of riding are you into? sight-seeing, speeding, long distance?

Chill ride side seeing occasionally stopping at coffeeshops

Up north: Cameron, Sekinchan, Teluk Intan, Sitiawan
East: bukit tinggi, genting, frasier's hill. Titik Tenah Semenanjung. Can stop by Tanah Aina Fareena or Lemang To'ki for food if they are open.
South: Dragon Fruit farm, Seremban, PD, Morib beach area

Thanks for the recommendation, I went even further north till Lenggong and Kuala Sepetang

Most welcome. kuala sepetang is famous for their fireflies and the mee udang. There is a nice glamping site which I always stop by for coffee in lenggong called Pio'kopi on the way to see the Tebing Tinggi waterfall

Bumping the thread with some pics

Rare opportunity to have such beautiful weather and calm lake

where is this?

KKB

This at the Huffaz lake?

Dunno the actual name, just Waze KKB lake then follow the road, it’s a scenic path, easy for bike to choose whichever spot you want
