Round Peninsular Malaysia Trip - Jan 2013

[pistole]

- just did a round peninsular Malaysia trip.

- covered about 2000 kms and got to test out the GoPro H3 mounted onto the top of my helmet.

- a couple of vids below  (have tons of vids but uploading them onto YouTube is super slow).

- a BMW x6 overtaking into me. Had I been a couple of seconds further ahead , he would probably have taken me out.

- well , not particularly proud of this one , but it was a high speed run with a Cayman and a Merc.

- the GTR acquits herself well , even full loaded down for touring.

Excellent,     thanks for sharing

   great photos and videos ... looks warm and lush over there .. with 'empty' roads to ride ... lovely .. thanks for posting them Pistole 

[Lonewolf]

And not a speed camera in sight. Oh, and your roads look to be in immaculate condition, I didnt see any potholes!

- thanks fellas.

- was an amazing ride , over some really great roads.

- the bike was faultless , day after day with the hard miles piling on.

- the GoPro H3 camera was a revelation. Would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for priceless memories of your rides (maybe for years after we can no longer ride anymore ... ). For multi-day rides , you'll need access to a computer of some sort after each day to download the vids/pics from the cam and clear the cam's memory card in preparation for the next day's recordings.

- a 32 GB card will give you about 6 hours worth of recording (at 960p - which is very good resolution). You'll also need two batteries as one batt will last you about 2.5 hours.

cheers

And you can just pull over at the side of the road for a rest without fear of being crushed by the entire M25 on their way to work ....

- those interior roads were very good.

- along our east coast (exposed to the monsoon season around this time of the year) , the conditions and roads were more varied , as here :

- as for speed cams and law enforcement , we're very relaxed over here (and our road fatalities are almost the highest in the world in return) and doing 2XX kmh on the tolled highways is common for large motorcycles.

[pistole]

- this was the route.

.

[O.C.]

seeing the route like that really puts the ride into perspective...amazing 

[Lonewolf]

Even your bad roads look good!  Unlike ours.

- don't have some fancy swivelling GoPro camera mount , and its enough to do just keeping the big girl on the tarmac ..  but a brilliant bit of road it was too :
