Its never too late! I got mine in my early 30s too.

Do it bro,it will be fun.Go with your friends who are experience tho. Tips:Although u gg with experience riders,at times you have to make your own judgement,do not depend on them 100%.

@@user-hg3kc4dj7u thanks for the advice, bro!

@@TheSunMoon No worries.Because i ever sound 1 of my friend not to depend on me (Front man) and make his own call whether to overtake the 100km++/hr trailer on MY highway.That day if he kena sidesweep i think his life might be gone. SAFETY NUMBER 1.

I am in my 60 and I don’t have big bike license but I already bought a Kawasaki Versys 650 for my 24 years old son 2 years ago who got the full B license. He got it when he was 16 years old. He has ridden from KL to Penang and back. I only got B2 license but has been riding for 47 years! Got a Yamaha Lagenda 115cc as well. 😊

It'll be up soon =)

Thank you =)

Thank you for the tip! Ride safe!

Thank you, there'll be more adventures soon!

Thank you, Part 2 is up =)

@@justexploringlah this is so cool man i hope all is well for you and wish you a speedy recovery btw do you mind if i ask how much it cost to tow the bike back？ Am asking on behalf of a friend who intend to drive there cheers;)

@@jerrytan9598 Thanks for the well wishes, I recovered well due to the care given by my partner, the owner and staff of the accommodation that we stayed at (its in Part 2), and of course the medicine from the hospital. I used this service which was recommended to me by a friend, you can check them out and ask them for their rates. facebook.com/ipingtr.biketowing

Thank you!

Yep, there are also strong cross winds if there are open plains to your left or right. You've got to be careful during those times.

Dont ride too close to them as they tend to suck you closer.

Sini all laju2 dude

:) I have friends who have done it faster than I have on small bikes, but always ride within one's limits and be safe.

Thank you!

Not anytime soon, but its quite straightforward though! You have to get the forms ready to travel up to thailand, i went to a shop at Changlun (there are many shops that provide this 1 stop service). After that its just a ride up to the border. There are signages, and the people are very helpful to show you where do you have to go. All part of the adventure! There are other channels to show you the exact routes to take in the borders crossings.

Thank you, you too!

Hi there, apologies for the late reply. With regards to breakdowns/incidents with the bike, I got a contact from a friend. You can find 'Ipin GTR Bike Towing' on facebook, they cover towing from Malaysia to Thailand. For contingencies and monitoring purposes (I like to cover all my bases), I send my live location to a group of friend on whatsapp, and did check-ins with them whenever I stop for a break, or for refueling. Hope this helps!

Hi there, here are the timings which I planned out. I failed to factor in the fatigue levels, and rest timings (huge lesson learnt!), so I reached my destination at a much later timing . Timings are a rough estimate though Johor Customs to Gelang Patah RnR: Distance: 2.6km Time taken: 5mins ETA: 2340hrs Actions taken: Pump Petrol and force prep Time taken: 25mins ETD: 08042023, 0005hrs Gelang Patah RnR to Denkil RnR Distance: 315km Time taken: 2hr 50mins ETA: 0255hrs Actions taken: Pump Petrol ETD: 0305hrs Denkil RnR to Gunung Semanggol RnR Distance: 301km Time taken: 3hours ETA: 0605hrs Actions taken: Pump Petrol ETD: 0615hrs Gunung Semanggol RnR to Caltex @ Changlun Distance: 187km Time taken: 1hr 50mins ETA: 0805hrs Actions taken: Pump Petrol ETD: 0815hrs Caltex @ Changlun to Naluri Aman Sdn Bhd Distance: 1.6km Time taken 5mins ETA: 0820hrs Actions taken: Form filling for border crossing into Thailand ETD: 0915hrs Naluri Aman Sdn Bhd to Bukit Kayu Hitam Border Crossing Distance: 6km Time taken: 10mins ETA: 0925hrs Actions taken: Clear customs and immigration ETD: 1030hrs Bukit Kayu Hitam Border Crossing to Sadao Border (Thailand) Distance: 1km Time taken: 5mins ETA: 1035hrs Actions taken: Clear Thailand customs and immigration ETD: 1135hrs Sadao Border (Thailand) to Hatyai Distance: 60km Time taken: 1hr ETA: 1235hrs Actions taken: Check in and rest.

@@justexploringlah this really helps! will be doing my own solo ride soon and will be using this as my guideline.. thanks man!

Glad it helps. The plan is just a rough guide, but do factor in rest periods and ride within your limits. Fatigue is dangerous. Ride safe!

Great V long definitely useful for 1st time Tourers

Thank you! It was my first time too.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I like to take my time too. I hope you can find time to make short trips, and to embrace the joys of traveling and exploring too. =)

@@justexploringlah yes..yes..hopefully after my job probation im able to travel again.. just miss riding with the wind... heheh..anyway ride safe bro...

Hi there, - I started my journey at approximately 2230hrs. - The insurance shop isnt open 24hours, you can google 'Naluri Aman Sdn Bhd' to find out their updated operating hours. - I reached the 'duty-free' stop to do up the papers at around 1030hrs the next day. - I paid for my petrol using cash. I had to go to the counter and pay a deposit before they will allow you to pump. I'm not sure about cards though. Glad you enjoyed the video, part 2 is up!

​@@justexploringlah Thank eu so much

Hi there, the place is called 'Naluri Aman Sdn Bhd'. You can try googling for it. Hope this helps

Hi, I only stopped at the RnRs along the way and ensured the bike was in visual range at all times. I did bring along a brake lock though.

Hi there, the main song is 'So Clear' by Eyal Raz kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pMCWia6QupfUdqs.html

All are great choices! As long as you're feeling great about the bike, the ride will be fun.

If i remembered correctly, my riding jacket was about 150sgd? For the fuel cost, I think I made a total of 4 stops? I catered 30sgd per refueling stop. My helmet was priced around 150sgd too. Hope it helps.

Hi there, a full tank for my bike is 30litres. I pumped RON97 for my bike at the average cost of 3.3 to 3.4 rm per litre. I set aside 90sgd for fuel for this trip on the way up.

Around 110km/h

Hi there, theres no need to pay for tolls if you are riding. Just keep to the left of the toll booth and there will be signages indicating the route to bypass the tolls.

@@justexploringlah thanks!

I left at 2230hrs at night

Hi there, an advice I got from many experience riders is to include 'closed parking' for your bike in your consideration for booking your accommodation. Examples are private parking, or gated parking with guards. I usually ask my friends for recommendation on the accommodations =) I always 'dirty' my bike cover in hopes that people will avoid going near it. hahaha. Another is to park in lighted areas, and within line of sight of your activity (example, drinking at a café). Exercise caution in your parking, and ride safe!

I will usually find some reputable hotels with good parking spot, it will never be 100% safe, but better than parking my bike along road sides.

The fuel range is about 500km for a full tank for a GSA. I may be mistaken, there are in depth specifications that are available online. Hope I helped.

@@justexploringlah noted with thanks. Really appreciate your reply

I did 110km/h. On straight roads and when visibility was good, i went slightly higher for a bit

can! cruising at 90?

of course! ride safe though!

There was a singaporean on R15 and another one on Spark 135. Both made it to Mae Hong Son the ultimate Singaporean rider achievement.

Any bike can reach anywhere. Wandering Wasp used her Vespa to ride to Europe. I was in Krabi in 2018, 2 guys rode B Bone n PCX to Siem Reap n back too.

​@@naqibezwnxx wow

He shared about how motorcyclists are exempted from paying tolls at the toll booths, and we can simply bypass it by taking a small road on the left.

dari 1030pm

And also how long it took for them to process the documents/forms? :)

@@seifun3519 If I remembered correctly, the documents I did at the shop was the 'TM2, TM3 and Thai Insurance'. It took them around 30-45mins for them to process it, but it was not crowded that day when I was there. Its a '1 stop shop' for the immigration documents, and there are plenty of shops that offer this service. Do google and check if there are any updated requirements for land crossings. Hope it helps.

@@justexploringlah oh I see I see I mean thats good enough! How much was it though

@@seifun3519 I'm sorry but I cant really remember the pricing for it. I think the forms can be downloaded online as well.

@@justexploringlah no worries no worries appreciate the info you have shared Bro! Thank you! 🙌🏽

I was cruising at 110km/h, which is the speed limit for most part of the North South highway.
