Riding A Duke200 to Mount Kinabalu, Sabah!
On Nov7, I went to a Malaysian state called Sabah, which is located in the Kalimantan island. It is separated from the peninsular Malaysia and that was my first time being there. The main attraction for me was, nonetheless, a ride to the reknown Mount Kinabalu, the highest granite moutain in the entire South East Asia.
My friend was kind enough to lend me his Duke 200.
I didnt know what to make of it in the first 10 minutes but once the learning curve has levelled off, I found it a very relaxing bike for me. Although the seat could be softer and the footpegs could be moved a bit forward for my liking, none is a deal breaker. I reckon I want one of this.
This is the infamous peak of Mount Kinabalu. The peak is called Lowe's peak. The photo doesnt do her justice. She has much more style in real.
Me posing with Mount Kinabalu. This was the second visit in a day to the same spot. The first visit it was too cloudy to see anything at all. On the second visit the sky let up and we were lucky enough to see all of the mountain. God bless.
Posing with friends. A fun company. It has been a great road trip. And it was a step forward to materialize my Long Way Round dream. I figure I need as much riding experience I could get. I will keep on riding to improve my skills and build up my confidence.
Cheers Riders.
