H.O.G. Brunei Chapter Day Trip to Miri

Brunei HOGSTERS in front of Imperial Mall, Miri.

Last week Saturday 10 July 2010, about 11 Harleys made a Day Trip to Miri. For some it was their first experience riding outside Brunei. We left Harley Davidson Dealer at around 8.30am and stop at Tutong for breakfast at 'Puteh Restaurant'. After refueling our stomach we started our journey to Miri at 9.30am led by our H.O.G. Brunei Chapter Road Captain i.e. Zul. The weather was perfect for riding and made another stop for refueling for our bikes at Sg. Teraban Petrol station. The queue at Sg. Tujoh was long as we expected but it didn't halt us that long as we squeeze though the traffic and get our passport chopped without any problem.

Our 1st stop was eMart, Miri at around 11.30am. After cooling off at eMart we made a move to Imperial Mall. We parked the bikes opposite the mall near 'Madli's Restaurant'. We had lunch at the mall and spend our time there until 3.00pm. It was time to ride back to Brunei and we left Miri City around 3.15pm and ride through Lutong road. I was amazed with the beautiful beach scenery along the Lutong road.

Although the trip was a short one, everyone had fun and enjoyed the trip. For some it was good 1st long ride experience.

See you guys again in the upcoming H.O.G.B event.
