A go-kart outing at permas jaya, plentong was organized by the NTU riders. Meetup location was at Esso Woodlands Ave 1 at 10am, and a total of about 8-10 riders came for the ride. After liasing with the NTU riders at the petrol station, we made our way to the destination via Woodlands Checkpoint. The jam was about to start when we arrived, and luckily, it was not too long.
Upon topping up, we made our convoy to the gokart location. The road there was indeed filled with gravel and loose sand, coupled with many construction debri by the site. Pretty much a biker's nightmare. Unfortunately, Kaisheng from NTU, skidded at one of the junctions and we have to regroup again at another location. Luckily he got minor injuries and a broken mirror. Determined, we still carried on with the trip as planned.
Upon reaching there, we were greeted by 3,5km of offroad, with each of us going slower than normal, but its not as bad as I thought it would be. We then played for 1 round of 10 minutes and got an entire body massage from the vibrations of the go-kart. It was quite an adrenaline rush for the guys, whizzing through the circuit, trying to push for speed around the corners. It was indeed a new experience for most of the guys, having their sessions in a circuit.
Upon finishing the 10 minutes, the group was in a state of elation, each with their own stories to tell. After cooling from euphoria, we took a group shot and headed to the nearest bike wash at JB city centre. We then ended the day with happy memories, although enduring the hot sun, coupled with the fasting month. Indeed, there will be another Go-kart trip to be planned soon!
NUS Riders
After proper briefing, we went off around campus in an orderly staggered manner. THe sight of organized bikes, roaring around the campus was tingling the senses, and curious onlookers awed at the formation. Carpark, after carpark, we finally cleared the campus major lots and proceed to have dinner at Villa Bali. A little technical problem encountered with overheating S4. Nothing major though.
We then, moved to Kent Ridge Park, where we gather and play some ice breaker games, finding the 3 clues which leads to our "sacred message", little bike quizes and a self-intro of bikers to the club. It was indeed tickling to see riders, scurrying around the park, trying to find the 3 clues, shouting at each other to communicate. Finally, team Honda, won the game, and deciphered the message, which was our club slogan. "3 Classes, 2 Wheels, 1 Passion". Quizes was fun, with the motive to share biking knowledge with the riders, both senior and freshies. Lastly, as conducted last year, we introduced everybody to the club and share our stories with each other.
We officially end the Orientation Ride in Kent Ridge Park. But being riders, one can never get enough of riding so we broke off the night into smaller groups, with some going to Johore for supper and several going for Tau Huay. Those who called it a day, went off with happy smiles as we wave the bikes off safely home.
Touching abit on the club, We are a group of students and motorcycle enthusiasts, formed within our campus community, with a mindful purpose of cultivating safe riding. Our club activities include riding sessions, group bonding activities and even touring sessions across the border. As such, we welcome all motorcyclist from the NUS community, be it current or ex-students, to join in our club outings!
