2012 Day 6 – Temerloh to Singapore
Day six. The last day of a WMLR is always a little more relaxing. Maybe it's because the gang has gone through so much more after five long days of riding. Or maybe because everyone is simply getting more comfortable with their bikes in the twisties. Whatever it is, the last day of a long

2012 Day 5 – Kota Bahru to Temerloh
Spending the night in a luxurious hotel can make for a good rest. And while the Lee Guesthouse was not luxurious by a mile, I had one of the best rests in the entire trip last night. I chalk that to the easy, homely and comfortable feeling that I get with this quaint little guest

2012 Day 4 – Pulau Pinang to Kota Bahru
Yesterday was fantastic. An easy day riding around Penang and the nearby areas, discovering a fantastic beach with great food and a wonderful ride on one of the most twisted roads I have ever been to. It would be hard to top! At the same time, our ride today would take us onto one of

2012 Day 3 – Pulau Pinang to Pantai Merdeka to Pulau Pinang
The faint sound of my alarm cut my pleasant dream short this morning. As usual, I could not remember what the dream was about except for the fact that it was a pleasant one. Oh well…it is time to wake up and get ready for breakfast downstairs. As is the usual case, the meeting time

2012 Day 2 – Kuala Selangor to Pulau Pinang
There is nothing like waking up in the morning knowing that there is a nice long day of riding ahead. We arrived last night at the Firefly Park Resort here in Kuala Selangor and had a nice evening watching the fireflies. At the same time, due to the rain, our gear were soaked! It was

2012 Day 1 – Singapore to Kuala Selangor
The first day of a loop ride is always special and eventful. I reminded the gang to have a good rest before the ride, especially the nights leading up to the first day because many riders have trouble sleeping the night before the ride due to the excitement of it all. Interestingly enough, this was

Getting ready…and Mr Gadget…
So now that Anker is ready for the big ride…it is time to get the rider ready as well. One of the things I to do was to re-stock my first aid kit. I had the intention of getting the re-stocking supplies today but my plans were changed at the very last minute because my

Four days to go!
People say that time flies when you are having fun. The truth of the matter is a little different as I think time flies…regardless…and boy…did time fly! The last couple months went by in the blink of an eye (I rhymed there…hahaha!). It wasn’t that I had more fun than I usually did, really. It

Pre-trip shake-down ride
Fail to plan and you plan to fail. I have heard this said so many times in project management courses that it is starting to feel like something people say for the sake of saying it. However, my own experience with managing projects and teams confirms this saying. Still having a plan is not enough.

And so it begins…WMLR2012
Some memories fade into oblivion, while others remain firmly fixed in our minds. The memory of the first WMLR is one of those that refuse to fade. It is strange how a simple activity – riding motorcycles – can bring people together and foster such strong bonds. There is a special magic in riding. Maybe
