No problems faced. Hit all the targets we set out to do when we planned this. The GPS screen shot of total distance covered. The 212km/h max achieved was on one of the highways. [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/20120311%20Peninsula%20Ride%202012%20Day%207/20120313PenRide0231.jpg[/IMG] When we set out our criteria/aim/goal were; a. To reach all 4 Apex points of the Peninsula. [i]This was acheived[/i] The Apexes are; a1. South West Most - Tg Piai, also the Southernmost Tip of Mainland Asia. - [i]Day 2, 1400hrs 8march[/i] a2. South East Most - Punggai, Johore - [i]Day 3, 0800 9march[/i] a3. North-East Most - Pengkalan Kubur, Kelantan -[i] Day 5, 1200hrs 11march[/i] a4. North-West Most - Bukit Putih, Perlis - [i]Day 6, 1430hrs 12march[/i] b. No Highways unless totally unavoidable. -[i] complied apart from the unopened ECE 50km run[/i] c. To ride through all states and FT. [i]Day 1 - Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Negri Sembilan & Malacca Day 2 - Malacca, Johore Day 3 - Johore, Pahang Day 4 - Pahang, Terengganu, Kelantan Day 5 - Kelantan, Perak Day 6 - Perak, Kedah, Perlis, Penang Day 7 - Penang, Perak, Selangor, KL [/i] d. Ride through Gravel to stay as close to the Thai Border. [i]Done the Durian Burung - Sintok Route[/i] e. No backtracking unless unavoidable. f. At least 2,500km total - [i]actual mileage 2513km.[/i] We did not need to spend an arm n a leg to do this in relative luxury. Daily expense of less than RM 350 per day all in. Food, Fuel, Hotel all inclusive. However, the trip cost me more than expected. My wife decided that sitting at the back is not enough. She twisted my arm and made me get her the baby GS. I am sure seeing Maznah on her GS12 and Justine on her F650GS had something to do with it. She named her F650GS Red Babe. Here she is riding into the sunset.[/b] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/fb20120812wife1_47.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
