Test ride Big 1 to Betong

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...

A quote from me...

Don't assume
there is a fault
if we can't achieve
who ever had accomplish
by hard work nor we only
want to stay in our comfort zone
living and dreaming about success.

Another challenge ahead will take how many hour to reach my destination 800km away?
