After so many years of riding together, Dahlan still manage to spring new surprises!
Dahlan and his two buddies – Hanafiah + Baki - were already at BHP Gombak when Nizam and I arrived. And by chance, two of my acquaintances from SBM – Knizy & Azli - arrived while we were getting ready to start. Their plan was to go on the usual Karak town (for Nasi Lemak) ride…. but decided to tag along with us… our destination? still blurry as we set off at about 9.30am!
There were dozens of bikers at this popular RV location that morning. Every group with their own ride agenda. For us ~ Dahlan, Hanafiah, Baki, Nizam, me, Knizy & Azli ~ the destination was Benta and back… or Gua Musang and further North… whichever the leader of the pack take us…
It was a sweet smooth ride on Karak hiway all the way to Bentong. Four riders arrived Bentong junction, followed by Knizy & Azli…. but Baki seemed to have been missing. Dahlan decided that we should push on and wait for him to catch up at the next pit-stop. Baki caught up just as we exited Bentong - just in time for our nasi lemak pitstop.
The late breakfast was nice. Since some of us met for the first time today, it was an ice-breaker session as well. After a good makan, we were off. The group exited the main Bentong-raub road, making a detour through the old roadway…. it was to be a warm-up leg, according to Dahlan As we swerve left and right on the winding road, I can’t help but think about the fun I’ve been missing from not doing more of this casual ride. The frequency, for me, has been far too wide apart… at an average once a year! This is sad
