KB Scooterist: May 2008

" RIDE FOR UNITY "

The KB-Maxiscooters are going from strength to strength. We now have over 40 members from all walks of life, male and female, young and not so young and an interesting array of scooters, from the 250cc Yamaha Majesty, Kymco, SYM and Suzuki, right up to the very high power autos.
Most weekends of the year there are ride outs, however during the school Holidays, long distance trips are being organised.
So, if you're healthy and active and want a trip down memory lane to see scooters that you used to ride, or are just thinking of returning to the scooter scene, we are more than happy to take you on board

9th Borneo Island International Big Bike Festival

Limbang became the cnverging point for bikers all over borneo as it recently hosted the 9th Annual Borneo Island International Big Bike Festival. Limbang was chosen to be this year's host by the Victoria Arms Big Bikers Club (VABB) as a way to promote the district as well as its culture and traditions. The event mainly catering for Big Bikes, has drawn international participants from the phillipines as well as from Singapore. Last year BIIBBF was held in Pontianak, Indonesia.

Pesta Kaul, Mukah

Mukah lies approximately 500km away from Miri Town. Hence anything can happen along the way, especially when you are riding on scooters. A convoy of 12 KB-Maxiscooters and a backup car, led by Hj Hairuddin a member of KB-Maxiscooters who is residing in Mukah made its way to Mukah to attend the Pesta Kaul. As usual our journey start at Rasau Toll at 0630am. Our journey stop at Bekenu for refueling and Bintulu for another refuelling and Lunch. We rode on 50 km of pebbled road littered with potholes. On our way to Tatau from Bintulu 3 of our member slide off from the way and slightly damage their machines and slightly injured the riders. This is the time our backup car take incharge. 1 of the machine have to be towed away along the way to Mukah. We manage to start the machine and the owner rides it safely back to Brunei. We have a very memorable journey and the journey was very adventorous.
