KLR, i salute you!

Yesterday i was riding down to see my daughter in Bukit Sentosa. It started at 3:30pm with the day being very hot and sunny. there i was suiting up for the ride. I had the Speed and Strength jacket, gloves and them hiking boots. i did contemplate if i might need to get some accessories in near future for protection. a Proper riding boots and some Knee protectors are good. But that would be on another day. To day i had a mission to go see my Lovely Daughter near Bkt Sentosa, halfway between Genting and Kuala Kubu Bharu. I rode alone today and did not bring anything along as i would love to think that it will just be a a short trip and back home straight after that. The ride on the PLUS Highway was wobbly at 110km/h. I did fill up the tires before when i was refueling before that . Stop and the side of the road and let some air go on my front tire. the rest was less wobbly. I think this was due to my Knobby tires on the front. The rear was sitting on a Michelin road tires. So no a good combo. But after the deflate, it was all okay. Cruising speed was at 110km/h. Reached Bkt Sentosa but no one was home and found out that they were out for some kenduri and had brought my daughter with them. Ah well , I think i;ll just have a cup of coffee and some mee goreng at the road side stalls on the way out. As i was waiting for my late lunch and sipping my iced coffee, it hit me that i need to do some adventure riding of my own. Now and Now. So i cancelled the food. Paid for the drinks. ( Food was too slow or i was drinking really fast.) And i off i go for another great andventure, all by myself, all by my own. I was not really familiar with the roads there, but somehow i knew where to go . I knew i was between Genting and Kuala Kubu Bharu. and the roads are quite straight forward and i had passed there once with my Scooter earlier this year.. Ok . So off we go towards the North till i see sign boards that says Kuala Kubu Bharu. Then i see another sign that says Kuala Kubu Baru. Oh S**t, there is 2 KKB now, so i would be guessing that the nearer one is where i would like to go . Ariving at KKB i see familiar Sights. Time now is 4:45 PM . I decided to go up Frasers Hill. what a nice road it was, too bad i had bad tires on my KLR. but i made time on the straights by 5:30 i was already up and back down without stop. Next destination was Genting, If i can make it before the sun goes down. By the time i reached the top of Genting, It was exactly the moment where the sun gives out its last rays and you can see the streaks of red and amber just streaming across your head and you watch. It was 7:28 pm. Headed to the Coffee Bean cafe and took a slow sip on a hot latte. Smoking and just admiring the wild and raw power of Thumper. KLR, i salute you. At a glance, i think i saw the KLR smiling and gestured the same, I smiled back. This is really awkward. There was no complaining, there was no hesitation. It feels like the KLR was built for a purpose, a working horse. A working breed. There is no flair or how beautiful it look. It wont attract chicks with it nor will it attract dudes who like bikes. Its big, clumsy, blue. Not a showpiece or rare. Its just ... mine.... Time to go home and down Genting. and end the day with a smiling face. http://youtu.be/M62y6BgvO-0
