Hatyai Bike Week Ride - 4/7 to 5/7.

4/7
On a very nice and early morning (3.30am) of 4/7,myself and Lonerider meet up at Tmn.Klang Jaya for our ride to Hatyai.This is the 1st night or rather dark ride for me,it was nice b'cos is cooling all the way but the downside is you hv to be super alert as is dark.
Since there only 2 of us,no drama all the way.We enjoy a cool,nice and "slow' ride.Stop at B'worth for b'fast at the famous seow bak (bbq pork) mee,ok lah but not as good/nice as Lonerider claimed,(5%-95% theory).Custom clearing was a breeze,stop at Satit Hotel,Danuk to check out room for Koh Samui.We reach Chudchada Place at abt 11am,abit too late to join the bike week ride to Songkhla and since our room was not ready, we went down town to hv lunch with 2 Klang bikers from James Yap group.Not bad chicken rice!!!and if u like and can take chicken skin this is the right place,is thick and juicy!!!On the way we meet Yeoh and the Malacca group (Au Kait and Co.) at Golden Crown Hotel,sitting right in front of the entrance stair.
Then bk to hotel,check in hv a nice shower/rest before heading to town for a good massage.
As is was raining in the evening,we cannot go to the park for dinner,so we join James and the gang for seafood dinner in town.Food was nice but too much and expensive,BTH610/pax.
Once the rain stopped we went to the park,not much changes from last year. This year there is no free makan and beer,so u can see most of the tables is empty,unlike last year.Bought a couple of T-shirts for friend bk home,lepa around then it started drizzling,the next moment we was on our bike and headed bk but thanks to Lonerider,who like rain so much that he took me went rounding(lost his way).he!he! And that's for the night.
5/7
We was up by 7am,went for b'fast but very disappointed we cannot hv the keow teow fish head as the portion is too big for 2 of us so we settle for chichen and tim sum but Lonerider even hv Bak Kut Tea!! what a eater.Is here that we meet Jimmy Yap 58yrs who rides a Suzuki 150 and after some chatting with Lonerider,he decided to join us bk. and we start the exciting ride bk.
After crossing border like a breeze,Jimmy encounter jerking to his bike,so we stop at Petronas for him to change s/plug.Since he was going quite slow,he get him to head start and we join later,abt 30mins but the problem is that we still caught up with him before our next stop,so we stop again under trees/flyover.....He was doing abt 80 to 90km.
Then his bike overheat (coil) and stop before Simpang Pulai toll but was able to re start and go for abt 100 to 200m before it stop again.We discussed and agreed that he will stop/go,stop/go till he reach Simpang Pulai petronas station,which was abt 6km.We waited for abt 45mins before he arrived.Luck was on his side,meet a small lorry stopping for toilet and is wiling to take his bike till Sg Buloh RR.We help to load up the bike onto the lorry,then we head to Bidor for our lunch (5pm) but poor Jimmy was on top of the lorry holding on to his bike.We meet at Sg Buloh RR,unload the bike and head bk to Klang.His bike was ok after the cooling period but still doing 90km.
Anyway,we all reached home safely at abt 7.30pm and this will go down in record as the "most number of stop " for a ride bk from Hatyai to Klang.
