Miss the set-junction, .. but head on ...

After the break, we pushed-on.

We were supposed to turn in a designated junction to do a short-cut to Keningau,

.. but the 'lead-bike' was so fast .., and overshot the turn-in junction for the short-route.

To turn back, it'll take a longer time,

so, we push forward instead of backwards and use another beautiful scenic route ..

....

The Nasi-kandar stop ..

Everytime if we passed by this route, the boys wanted to stop by this 'gerai' to have some food or break.

The food here is absolutely lousy/bad !!.. and it's expensive too....,

2 dishes at $ XX amount.

3 dishes also at $XX amount ...

if you mixed twenty dishes on rice and put curry all over ....

.. it's gonna be at $XX amount also !!...

.. well, guessed it's located just by the road side..., so it's bleedy convenient.., i supposed

.. time checked - 0900hrs
.next stop - Keningau via Crockers ..

Immigrations checkpoint

From our meeting-point, we push straight up to the immigration cross-border post without any further delays.

We cut back on our regular ritual smoke-break and all other pee-break ...

it's either smoke and pee while you ride or don't at all ...

.. The Start ..

Meet up point @ 0430hrs ..,
13 machines ...
this is the beginning of a 'plan' road trip..
we called it the 'Short Way Down' ..

.. after some caffeine and nicotine.., we push-on even before the sunrise...,

.. This will be an adventure that's gonna stay with most us for a very long time ..,

BWN-BKI-SDK-BKI-BWN : Day 1 (meet-up)

Road trip..., always amazed me. Especially riding with a bunch of regulars.

Normally, what we had was a short ride, nite-ride, quick-ride around the country.

But a 'road-trip'.., thats where the 'true-colors' are.

How clean, fussy, messy, dirty .... its all there. ...

Here are the pics of the 1st day, meetin'-point of our yearly pilgrimage road-trip.

.. the Prep, finally ...

..front rJays, rear 'throwover' oxfords..,

both scored from JW's ..

It's been a hectic schedule @ work and been busy. There is not much time to pack or prepare anything except to 'prep' the Project Touring bike for this trip. Maybe a few pairs of Kleins, a pair of beat-up levi's and a pair of allstar will do for now ...

Not bringing the-xj for this trip as I wanted to try out the Project Touring. The bike are purposely built for trip like these ....

.. front shield has been polished and clean up from dead bugs, birds dung and dog's pee from previous road trip by SW

.. A-ha, these two items are a must-have.

1, road-trip-tunes on ipod for a whoppin' 24hrs on the road prepped and prepared by M,

Taken a peep at a few of the selection and I saw g'N'r, radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode ... , i know this is gonna be Good.

And, it's probably in order too, according to the hours and mood on the road ..,

I am not gonna 'tune-in' for now, save the tunes for the actual day.

2, and the other is ... the Cool 'Sigg' .. (google it..)

Preparation of both items by M

Midnight Solo

0215hrs, weather's fine.
After a-smoke, put on my riding gears, start up 'Project Tour' and went out for a solo-midnight ride.

Stop by a 24hrs coffee stall just in time for the Man U, Bayern Munich 2nd leg kick-off.
