Solo Rider : Pulau

170 kilometer.

Fuel consumption approximately Rm7.00

Solo ride mengelilingi pulau dengan motosikal 130cc

Satu kepuasan. 

Ada satu laluan antara Telok Bahang dan Balik Pulau sangat2 berliku.
Jalan Telok Bahang. Sepanjang laluan memang jarang dapat speed 70km/h.
Terlalu banyak selekoh dan menyeramkan sebab di tengah2 hutan dan sangat sunyi.
Bila sampai di selekoh aku terpaksa bunyikan hon, risau ada kereta membelok makan jalan.
Kereta dihadapan memang susah nak nampak sebab jalan berliku-liku di lereng bukit.
Tapi serius Best!

Tambahan pulak hari makin gelap jadi aku bawa selaju mungkin.
Layan corner.

Sebelum memulakan perjalanan... Aku dah ingat peta dan laluan akan aku lalu.
Semua dah berimaginasi dalam kepala, hasil tengok Google Maps.
Bila melalui sesuatu kawasan, aku akan mula ingat balik Maps yang aku tengok tadi.
Untuk pastikan arah destinasi itu betul... Aku akan lihat matahari.
Dah jadi kebiasaan aku akan selalu tengok dimana arah matahari...
Macam dalam peta ada timur dan barat, utara dan selatan...
Jadi aku akan mudah recall lokasi peta.

"You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that is completely

different from any other. In a car you're always in a compartment, and

because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window

everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all

moving by you boringly in a frame."

"On a cycle the frame is gone. You're completely in contact with it all. You're

in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is

overwhelming. That concrete whizzing by five inches below your foot is the

real thing, the same stuff you walk on, it's right there, so blurred you can't

focus on it, yet you can put your foot down and touch it anytime, and the

whole thing, the whole experience, is never removed from immediate

consciousness."
