Kuala Klawang Ride : 14 April 2013

Today, the sky was gloomy and it decided to cry somewhat.... Yet, a group of ardent bikers waited patiently at Petronas (opposite the former Phoenix mall in Cheras) trying to double guess if it would rain or shine. After waiting over half an hour for the sky to smile (which it didn't) & also for another biker who'd overslept, we decided to vrooom vroooom vroooom!!! As we were leaving the petrol station, I saw a few separate groups of superbikers, either waiting for sunshine or other bikers, reminding me the quote "birds of a feather flock together". Hehehehehe...

Today, we are heading south to a quaint town in Negeri Sembilan called Titi. Titi means a small path/route in Bahasa Malaysia but if you search it in tagalog english dictionary, you'll be surprise what titi means :

titi meaning: Tagalog English definition of titi - Tagalog Translator

In tagalog english dictionary, "titi" is "cock". ...   
Keh, Keh, Keh!!! 

If you use https://maps.google.com.my/ it indicates that it's about 58.3km & takes approximately 1hr and 4 mins from Cheras Perdana Batu 9. But, we were on an adventure trip, so we did not follow the normal trail. We went off-trail. A trail that I was not familiar with but was interesting as we rode along "a long and winding road" (like the song sung by the Beatles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6AuKENgmLQ (psst....remember to return to my blog after viewing the music clip ya...don't get side-tracked...LOL)

We encountered many kilometers of winding road. Bikers LOVE winding roads, so they can bend low and show their prowess on "how low can you go?" thingy. MEN! Show off! But with a heavy set pillion like me....Alas, poor Rocker57. His right palm was in pain after the treacherous route up & down many hill slopes....poor thing. 

I've never heard of Jeram Gading until today....but it was worth the ride....mother nature untainted.

notice the hanging bridge?

gushing sounds of the stream... a refreshing change from 'honk, honk, honk'

A short rest and off we went on another round of long and winding road to Titi. Below, Titi township taken from entrance of the coffeeshop we stopped for breakfast.

We had breakfast here!!!

Bikes parked opposite Woon Yi Enterprise aka coffeeshop :)

Strange but true...Titi-styled Hakka mee which looks like pan mee!

My rich cuppa - thick & aromatic, my bowl of noodles. Solo fishball from R57.

We each tried a piece of traditional toast with Kaya & margarin....NICE!

I deduce that Woon Yi Enterprise & its neigbouring coffeeshop are not in good terms as we have to go over and place our order for the toast or the fact that Woon Yi Enterprise couldn't cope with the streams of patrons patronizing the shop...oh well. Noodle-wise, good but nothing spectacular. The toast was good with generous spread of margarin and kaya (local jam made from coconut milk, sugar, pandan leaf (screwpine) & eggs stirred over low fire until brown. I like the crunchy sound of the bread when you bite into it. Yet the bread is soft from the inside...getting me nostalgic. Ahhh...my younger happier days....

After breakfast, some went to ease themselves while I held back as the I can somewhat guess the kind of toilets they would have behind the shoplot. Alex (the brave one) went to 'check it out and said "OK". So Rocker57 followed suit. When he came out....he said "err...Ok-lah...no smell". His facial expression doesn't give me any confidence at all. So I told him to take a photo. Ladies...this IS the toilet that men say "OK-lah"....
 

  
 Needless to say, I held on to my "baggage"!!!! DUH!

On the way down to Seremban, the group broke into two teams. Alex, Ravi, Ah Yat followed us via PLUS highway while Ryan, Aravind & David went back via LEKAS highway.

Until the next blog....Vrrrroooom....Vrrrrooomm....Ride safe, Ride On!
