Part 188 - Report Opening Year Ride ~ Kapcai Adventure... Ringlet - Bentong 26-27 Jan 2009... (",)

Assalamualaikum n salam sejahtera...

Emmmm, aku bwu smpat nk post psl ride nie...
Dh lama dh ride ni, bln 1 lagi...
Tp asyik sibuk ja (malas pon ada gak, he3)...


Sebagai pembuka tirai, mari kite cuba laluan baru yang masih dalam construction,.. the highland Highway. Jalan ini adalah vision seorang menteri lama dulu, iaitu membina sebuah laluan di pergunungan yang akan menghubungkan Fraser's hill dan cameron highlands. Sebenarnya project ini dapat publisiti dan bantahan seketika dulu dari Ngo's dan greenpeace kerana mengangap ia akan merosakan hutan dan geology perhutanan.

Dikatakan hampir separuh jalan ini sudah berturap, dan sebahgian masih lagi berlumpur dan berbatu sedikit. Ada yang telah try laluan ini ke Bentong, dengan kereta dalam musim kering, dan tidak mendapati masalah yg besar untuk lepas.

Jd MBC cuba sahut cabaran baru ini, jadi polopor dengan motorsikal anda.
Kite belasah sikit sikit je motor kite, .. Kan selalu kite cakap motor kite best.. ini lah masanya kite buktikan motor kite memang best.

Adventure baru, laluan baru,.. dan tahun baru.

Untuk memudahkan perjalanan, motor ringan sangat sesuai untuk laluan ini, dari itu kapchai merupakan kenderaan yg sangat sesuai sekali. Jika anda ada dual purpose, scrmbler dan sejenis itu, ia juga boleh digunakan. Motor motor besar pun boleh try, jika ada bran.

Tarikh 26 Jan (Isnin)
Kite berlepas ke Tapah ikut PLUs dan mendaki Cameron Highland untuk tido dulu di Ringlet.

Tarikh 27 (selasa)
Dari Ringlet, kite masuk laluan baru ini, untuk keluar ke Bentong, dan dari Bentong ia sudah dekat KL,.. kite terus saja pulang, dekat je tu,.. kacang je..

Cara penginapan di Ringlet?.. tido mana suka. kalau anda nak tido kemah, bawah kemah, cari je tempat sesuai luar sikit pekan banyak tempat sesuai. Motel, ke guesthose ke, tak kisah... janji save duit.

26 dan 27 Januari 2009 adalah public holiday


Apa perlu bawa?
1. Minyak spare kalau kapchai dalam lingkungan 3 liter memadaii
2. Tube dan peralatan buka tayar, dan pam...

Part 187 - Motorcycling Emergency-Care Tips - After The Fall... (",)

Motorcycling Emergency-Care Tips - After The Fall - Street Savvy

Motorcycling can be dangerous. Over time and with proper training, we tend to get better at the safe and skillful operation of our beloved machines. Trouble is, crashes happen for a variety of reasons. If your buddy goes down on a group ride, do you know what to do and not to do?

It all starts with preparation. What you do as the first responder can make or break your buddy's future.

DO: Call 911 (or local emergency call) fast! If you or someone in your group has medical training to properly evaluate your fallen brother or sister, that's great, but call anyway. Don't assume your buddy is OK just because he says he is. Believe me, EMTs and paramedics have no problem evaluating a patient and releasing him if he is uninjured.

DO: Remember your ABCs: A=Airway, B=Breathing, C=Circulation. If your buddy is talking, he or she is obviously breathing. If your buddy is not talking, then you need to check his ABCs. This is simple: Look and listen for breathing. If he's not breathing you have no choice but to remove his helmet and breathe for him. No pulse? That's worse. This is why you and everyone you ride with should know CPR and basic first aid.

DON'T: Remove your buddy's helmet unless you absolutely have to. Excessive head and neck movement could make things a lot worse. Firefighters and paramedics receive special training on how to properly remove any helmet, so if you can, leave helmet extrication to the professionals.

DON'T: Move the victim unless absolutely necessary, especially if you see major helmet damage-this suggests possible spinal injury. Hold the victim's head still and encourage him to remain motionless, then wait for the cavalry. Improper movement of a spinal-injury victim can lead to permanent damage, including paralysis or even death.

DO: Carry a first-aid kit. A couple of ban-dages, dressings, ACE wraps, Band-Aid-type products and some protective gloves (for your use) are better than nothing.

DO: Control bleeding. Severe uncontrolled bleeding leads to shock and, eventually, death. Do this by applying direct pressure to the wound. Forget what you see in the movies about using a tourniquet-it can cause major damage.

DO: Take a CPR course. If you can, take a first-aid or advanced first-aid course, too. Want to be an EMT? Your local Fire Rescue or Emergency Medical Service can not only help you find these courses, but perhaps also teach your riding group some valuable emergency-care tips.

DON'T: Forget to take care of each other. Know your buddies' health issues. Having a plan in case someone gets hurt is the best and smartest start to any group-riding activity.

Part 186 - 'Street Gangsters' Label On Mat Rempit... (",)

'Street Gangsters' Label On Mat Rempit Inappropriate - Shabery

SEREMBAN, May 23 (Bernama) -- The 'Street Gangsters' label given to Mat Rempit, youths with a penchant for street racing is a bit too much, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek.

He said only a handful of Mat Rempit were involved in crime while the majority were just ordinary youths looking for some fun.

"This explosion of culture happens in many countires like that shown in movies like Tokyo Drift and The Fast and The Furious," he said after presenting prizes to 'Golf Amal 2009' participants at Sekolah Datuk Abdul Razak here.

Shabery said the scenario was similar to that during the 1980s when the community was against the craze for Scrambler motorcycles and Breakdance.

Despite disagreeing with the label, the minister said Mat Rempit groups were looking for trouble for racing in the streets rather than at the tracks.

"Mat Rempit are not interested in real racing. They can always join racing clubs if they want to. The closure of Batu 3 track and the distance of Sepang track is not an excuse.

"Building more race tracks is not the solution. They just want to show-off to other road users."

Shabery urged the authorities to tackle the Mat Rempit problem at the source, particularly the role of parents as most of the motorycles used were owned by family members.
