This is the first activity organized by Bikers Club under Celcom Sports Club in collaboration with PDRM Trafik KL to educate 40 of our fellow big bikers in Celcom on safety riding and advanced riding skill.
This 2-day course began on 17 Jan with safety classes in the morning at Menara Celcom and then followed with practical riding in convoy to Bukit Jalil to witness riding demonstration by two ladies officers. After that we rode to KLIA2 escorted by the police and back to Menara Celcom for night ride experience.

On the second day, we gathered at Menara Celcom in the morning for another convoy to Avani Sepang Gold Coast. We were given the opportunity to practice marshalling within the group. At Avani we're treated with sumptuous lunch at the resort. Two hours later, we rode back to Menara Celcom for a closing ceremony.

Don't play play, now I'm an advanced rider...hehe
We had great experience and acquired useful knowledge in handling big bike, do's and don'ts when riding in convoy and we had better exposure on how police managing the traffic in convoy. Our policemen are deserve our utmost respect for their courage and skills in handling the traffics. It is not an easy job I tell you. Before this, I had this small perception on police traffic and JPJ officers being government's money collectors to find our faults and issuing summons, but after the session I look at them as the protectors to ensure we all are safe traveling on the road. Kudos PDRM, keep up the good work!!.... OK after this kena saman boleh kawtim haaa.... wink wink ;)
Finally, double thumbs up to Celcom Sports Club for organizing the event and thank you GIVI for sponsoring the goodies.
One of the wishes I have on my bucket list is to own a big bike before I hit 40. A long time ago (in the year 1997 to be exact), when I came back from Japan after finishing my studies, I wanted to cry looking at the price tag of big cc motorcycles in Malaysia. Due to all kinds of taxes imposed by the government, they are ridiculously expensive!! Probably, the most expensive in the world! (How ironic, big bikes are cheaper in Singapore than here??) With the fresh grad salary I was getting at that time, there was no way I could afford to buy one. If I want to purchase one, I have to choose between owning a big bike or a car. With family on the way, I had to choose the latter. With a car, I can ferry my family around. Fast forward to the present time, only at the end of last year, I realized I still didn't fulfill this wish. I already have in my mind a few bikes within my budget to consider including Monster, Shiver, Versys, Dorsoduro, 800GS, Z800, and Street Triple. Finally, I ch
Just a month after I bought my SV650, Fiza's friend offered her husband's motorcycle at a very attractive price. Apparently, her husband had given up riding and was willing to let go of the bike. After discussing it with me, I immediately told her to grab it because the mileage was fairly low. They settled the deal in just 15 minutes and over the following weekend, we went to JB to pick up the bike. To our surprise, the previous owner not only handed over the bike but also everything else, including riding jackets, boots, helmets, gloves, and more. Even the bike came with extras like a windscreen, new levers, engine guard, belly pan, tail bag, and bike cover. He said he didn't have time or passion for riding anymore, which was evident from the fact that the bike had only 174 km mileage after more than a year. The bike had not even had the first service yet! Before I bought my SV650, I had considered the Triumph Trident 660, but the price was way more expensive. Fiza, on the
The initial plan was One Night in Bangkok, but we flew earlier so that we can have 2 nights in Bangkok. A good place to shop for cheap clothing and devour Thai food. When we don't have enough time to spend together at home, we go to travel together.
