KL to Batu Pahat Day 1
|
23 - 24 Mar 06 |
|
Adventure generally
resides in Bagsters' blood. We had this trip planned months ago. Our goal
was to cover at least half of lower Malaysia on B roads. With only a handful
(three actually) days to burn, we planned quite a numbers of towns and seldom
visited destinations to visit. Phang and Ivan did a wonderful homework on
where to stop.

Our usual stop if
we go south
|
Passing through
Parit Sulong some 20 odd km before reaching Batu Pahat
|
a very unique
mile-stone..showing zero km to Minyak Beku
|
|
I wanted to go back
to my hometown, Batu Pahat as I haven't riden a bike there since 1985. Even
with a target, we, Phang, Ivan and yours truly, decided to take the journey
easy with no specific timeframe. Our bums and back would be our indicators on
when and where to stop. Unta would be very proud

Minyak Beku is
actually a beach very popular with courting couples. It is also a very
popular landing spot for Indon illegal immigrants
|
|
Our first destination
stop was Batu Pahat. I have to admit it was kinda of nostalgic to ride
through BP town and stop at my old high school. I got the gang to ride with
me to Minyak Beku to learn how Batu Pahat got its name.. (click
