Solo ride to Betong using Project Big 1.
PB1 engine overhaul after brought test ride to Betong get ready for 2014 6000km ride but temperature too high even on night ride 140km temperature stay at 80% 160km will hit top luckily after KL rain all the way to Betong temperature drop to 30%. Fuel consumption is bad 1L/12.9km something very wrong...

The faster timing I had achieved under Class 2B 200cc bike on a 800km ride from Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The ride started on 15-9-13 23:00 reaching Thai Betong custom at 16-9-13 10:30 a total of 11.5hr including 1hr break in SG.BULOH R&R 5 pit-stop for petrol refueling each pit-stop last 30min including smoke break and refreshment.

Will move out from JB @ 12am... (Ride actually delay start 1:30am and reach 1:30pm)
From Johor ride NSE E1 6hour to KL continue to E2 Ipoh ride to Gerik ride to the end of Gerik continue to Pengkalan hulu perak and when reaching the end of Pengkalan hulu will see Petronas refill fuel and turn right to Betong 7km to reach Malaysia/Thai custom total another 6hour.

Checking the Malaysia weather forecast from JB toward KL had no rain but reaching Perak have isolated rain over coastal area. Hopefully everything will be alright :(


8 pit stop I can do 6 but let my bike rest more and road after Ipoh is a challenge for my small bike up and down hill with lot of shape corner my skill is put to test for first time have to use engine brake all the way down hill.
