RIDING TO TEBEDU

Sebenar-benarnya nak jugak naik motor jalan-jalan. Kalau dekat ok jugak. Jauh-jauh ni penat lah, sakit badan.

Tapi sempat jugak ke Tebedu; sempadan antara Sarawak dan Indonesia. About 100km from Kuching. Bukanya jalan highway so ambik masa jugak 1 jam lebih. Tak banyak motor yang ikut. Kami yang naik easyrider ni tertinggal kat belakang. Nak kejar superbike semput jugak. Saya yang ringan ni macam nak terbang.
