Burn rubber, burn! - 22 Jul 06
FINALLY! I've managed to made it to this small little speed freak heaven in our neighbour country - the Johor Circuit in Pasir Gudang. It wasn't a first for me (see my previous trip) but it's definitely a first for me on a bike, hitting the tracks.
A little more about this session. For most of you, you'll be mildly surprised that in this 21st century, there's actually a MINDEF forum in our military internet. And it is in this 'work-related' open forum, that I got to know some fellow bikers in MINDEF, some of them being track fanatic. And after like 9 months of expressing interest in going, I finally manage to tag along. I was planning to just be a photographer, but the sexy track and also my fellow Super 4 rider persuaded me to pay up 50RM for an hour of track use.
No need to talk so much! Look at the pics! Photos at http://www.pbase.com/snowparang/pasirgudang

"Meet at White House at 7 am to avoid jam". This is the white house, without jam! |
But like any other bike outing, confirm got people late one.... |
|
Calm, serene, peaceful. Quite contrary to the long jam for the Singapore bound causeway. |
I gotta admit...colorful balloons and race leathers do look kinda...matching.

Before burning rubber, some food for hungry Singaporeans. |
In the pits waiting for the bike time slot . There was a record of 9 Ducatis and even the odd BMWs!

Suit up and get ready! |
Last turn of the track, followed by a straight pass along the grand stand.

Well you sure can't do these in Singapore!

Arguably one of the fastest bike during the circuit.

Well, I'll be back for sure! Just look at my hilarious corner stance. There's so much I wanna do now to hone my skills...late braking, getting into optimum gear, hanging off, getting the best line...can't wait!
And after I've had my fun with the Super 4, it'll be a terrific consumate session with my mistress - my Aprilia RS250!
