The 'Borneo Island International Big Bike Festival' was held from the 18-20th December 2009 in Labuan F.T. Harley Owners Group - BRUNEI CHAPTER was also invited for this annual event in Borneo Island. 22 HOGB members rode their Harley bikes to Labuan and for some it was their first long ride. Although the weather was HOT, all of us enjoyed the ride from Brunei to Labuan. We started our road trip at 8.30am where we were escorted by the Limau Manis Police to the Kuala Lurah Control Post. The queue was very long and we were glad that we managed to cut queue with the assistance of the Police.
We did few stops for petrol i.e. Temburong and Sipitang. We stopped for lunch break at Beaufort around 1.45pm before proceeding to Menumbok at 3.00pm where we have to take the ferry to Labuan which was supposed to arrive at 4.30pm. Finally the ferry arrived around 6.00pm and we reached Labuan at 8.00pm. Once in Labuan we were escorted by the organiser to the 'welcoming dinner'.
The next day event was held near Sara hotel in the centre of the city. There were competitions, stalls, live band and also bike show. Later in the afternoon we went for a ride together with the other participants. We stopped at a place near the beach and were treated with coconut drink, pulut panggang & kelupis with yummy beef curry. The event ended with a dinner and exchange of momentous.
Next year Brunei will host the BIIBBF 2010.
