Sabah Ride with Copi (May 2016)

This is the third time I rode to Sabah, this time there are only two people riding, me & Copi (one of the staff that work in the same place as mine). This is the third time I'm using my Kawasaki DTracker X 250 & I believe it was my last time doing touring with it (what a great bike). The plan was in May 2016. The original plan was 5 people riding but ended only 2, that's normal when we are talking about long touring riding, there will be people chicken out in the last minute. When there's only 2 left, Copi asked me whether I'm still going to ride & I said of course, there's no turning back no matter what. By the way, it was Copi first time that's why he's not confident with himself. 

Decals are compulsory especially as souvenirs to friends through out the journey. CA stands for Cekgu Adeng while MF stands for Mohamad Fadhil (Copi) 

This is somewhere at Ranau area, stopping by because I thought the view is awesome! I was also waiting for Copi to arrived! 

At Crystal Hill Lodge Kundasang, we stayed here the night before. A very nice place up on the hill opposite the great Mount Kinabalu. 

This is at the entrance of Desa Dairy Farm, still in Kundasang. 

One of the Desa Dairy Farm famous landmark. I'm not sure the thing is still there in 2024, I think I heard someone said that the big rock is no longer there because it has been demolished. 

At the main building in Desa Dairy Farm. Time to drink some fresh milk! Foods are good too inside the building! 

The entrance for Mount Kinabalu climbers! This is where the climbing started for those who want to climb the great mountain. 

Amazing 250 ever! 

A selfie for the world! Blue suits me well especially the shades! I look 35% more handsome! 

This is the night we arrived at Kudat, at first we searched for available room to stay the night. Then Bang Ahmit (a good friend from Sri Aman that work in Kudat) invited the 2 of us to join them for a feast, actually the feast was meant for the 2 riders from Kuching. 

Copi was very pleased with the food, so many of them that night at Marina Boat Club Kudat. 

Copi enjoying the moment! (especially the food) 

Great food, amazing people! 

More new friends from Sabah! 

Marina Boat Club in the morning! This is before the two of us leaving Kudat to head home! We had some good breakfast there with amazing scenery! 

Amazing place especially during day time! 

From left side, Bang Ahmit, Rohairi, me & Copi the Destroyer! Blue shades goes perfect on me!

Yeah this is my third time! 

 

The last but not least, of course the one & only place, Tanjung Simpang Mengayau, The Tip of Borneo still in Kudat! 

 

Another amazing pose for the world! 

This is where the 2 seas meet, Sulu Sea & South China Sea! Amazing views that keep me coming to ride here! (explain the third time I'm riding here) 

 

I remember the first day of riding we stopped and spend the night at Miri. We also change our Malaysian money to Brunei dollar at Miri Boulevard if I'm not mistaken because we need to pay the toll for the bikes for passing Brunei, the day was Friday & Miri is very crowded especially by Brunei people. At first we couldn't find any place to stay, then suddenly a kind guy & his wife offer to show us a place to stay that he believed is available, then we followed him to the place & Alhamdulillah we have a place to stay that night at Miri.

I also remember during the time when we are returning back to Kuching we stopped at Lawas and spend the night there at Copi's wife relative and the next day we continue riding and stayed at my in law's house and from Sarikei we ride to back to Kuching using the Sebuyo route passing 2-3 ferries.
