Travellers Ride


Most people do not decide to make a big change out of the blue. As for me I never thought that I will ever ride a motorcycle again after the last accident 4 years ago (in 2003). At that time my wife was 4 months in pregnancy. Luckily the fall was not that bad, my wife and our baby unharmed.

But early this month we decided to ride a bike again due to some changes in our work place. We sold our old bike, the 1st edition Honda Wave and after looking for a while, we choose Modenas Elegan 150 CC maxi scooter (Originally branded as SYM Joyride) with analog RPM and speedo meters. It's bigger with a lot of storage space, comfy rider's and pillion's seat with back-rest and much more. However manuevering this bike in jam-packed Kuala Lumpur city road is a little bit tricky. All and all I feel lot's more adventurous owning this bike so I joined the Eleganeers club.



The Eleganeers member were originated from Malaysia Bikers Community forum (MBC). It's a good start for an Elegan newbie like myself to learn more about this bike. They discuss everything from service center to every detail parts. I occasionally meet them in a small TT gathering and was surprised how friendly they are. Most of them are married so we don't hangout so often.

We planned a coastal cruise trip (KL-PD-Melaka-KL) this weekend and hopefully everything goes well. I set this trip as a benchmark how well the Elegan scooter perform on a long trip.
