Hi there....

Lots of things happened while i was absent from the blogging world.

I will recap this for now and will elaborate more in the chain of events since March 2011. It is November now and i should upload my stories before the year ends.

So lets start off after my river crossing experience shall we?

Me and my wife decided to ride a gung ho run from Ampang to Malacca. This was not planned out until the very last minute that my wife decided that being home is boring and mundane. So we suited up,  and packed 1 bag with clothes, and off we go towards south using the back roads with sweeping corners and a sense of adventure.

We rode from Ampang towards Hulu Langat , thinking that we would take the more secluded road, i was a bit sceptic to go there as it is getting dark and the raid clouds were looming above us. We took a detour to take the new LEKAS highway down to Seremban. From where we were, we had to pass the Semenyih Dam and the view was superb as the sun slowly creeps away, leaving the lake with glistening hue of amber.

After that, it was all dark and the sky was starting to open up. We had our jackets and rode down till we reached Semenyih town and joined the LEKAS highway. from there we traveled down to Seremban town and stopped for a while, taking shelter from the rain. Wet and cold we took our time to gain strength and off we go again towards the historical town of Malacca. My wife is already starting to complain that her back is killing her, the seats arent the most comfy seats and the vibration from the thumper is almost numbing.

NOTE to self : Next farkle will be a nice aftermarket seats like Corbin or Seargent  seats as they make ones that fits the KLR 650. I think there are more products out there but i see them mentioning more of the two brands in the forum often.

Reaching Malacca, we stopped for dinner at 10:30 pm in the famous asam pedas joint just behind Jonker Street.
We didnt really eat much as as the food came, my wife had a call from her dad and her brother. i dont know what happened but i can see that she was cyring after that and she was very very stress, must be work of family matters. So we ended up to what wa supposed to be a good stress free weekend turns out to be a real bummer. We walked the almost the whole length of the Malacca river just talking and discussing. We were supposed to stay 1 night there but she decided that we should go home as she felt uneasy and suffering from a potential migraine. So we did the R&R ride back where we stopped at each Rest Stop to have a 15 minute break before going to the next rest stop.  We left Melacca at 2am and reached Ampang at 6am. It took some of the stress away just me and her and the open road. Reminds me the days where i can go anywhere with her. Pity the seats arent so comfy (refer to NOTE to self above).

THAT was the end of the ride.
