[QUOTE="nikhuzlan, post: 625580, member: 19744"] [color=brown][u][b]10Mar2012. Saturday. Motorrad Malaysia All-State 4-Corner Peninsula Ride Day 4[/b][/u][/color] [b]CAUTION: This post contains plenty of self-gratifying photos of ourselves. Please bear with me. We are all certified camwhores.......... Day 4 of our ride will be 360km from Legend Hotel Cherating to Kota Bharu. Although the plan was to hug the coastline, there was a 140km new highway that is not opened to the public yet as there was still a couple of kilometers still to be tarred. We wanted to be the first group of bikers to use the highway, so with some weaving through the concrete barriers we managed to ride the highway. Apart from that detour, all the route was along the coast, meeting with the original intent. The Route[/b] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/20120309%20Peninsula%20Ride%202012%20Day%204/PenRideMap04.jpg[/img] [b]We left the Hotel after a good breakfast, and today we decided to leave later as we did not have much distance to cover.
