I have always wanted to explore Central Peninsula south of the ECE. A quick look at the map indicates quite a number of rural and estate roads that
leads to the area of Tasik Bera and Chini, but doing both will mean riding 550km, too much for a day round trip.
So I decided to plan the following Route;
BHP - Karak - Kg Chemomoi - Felda Kemasul - Bera - Mentakab - Karak - Home. 340km.
Six bikes turned up including Faudzi Din on his Harley VRod. Aquila will be on her Tiger 800 joining for her first offroad ride. The list looks like this;
1. XR GSA
2. Mel R1200GS
3. SP Lee R1200GS
4. Cee Kay R1200GS
5. Aquila Tiger800
6. Faudzi Din Harley VRod.
Ready to leave BHP Gombak RV Point
A quick stop at Karak town for breakfast.
The rural roads leading to Kg Chemomoi
After the turn-off that leads to Felda Kemasul the roads look even more interesting
We rode through a Forest reserve
Then we passed through this huge Plantation undergoing replanting
This portion is littered with potholes and cow dung, ready to catch the unwary
We hit this roadblock and i gently asked permission to pass through. Estates are essentially private property, and access is limited.
Just 1km into the estate the road changes
Clearly these guys cannot wait. Mel shot off
Followed by Cee Kay
SP Lee
Even Aquila was eager
Faudzi Din followed, eager not to be left behind by a girl
After about 7km we came to a junction. We stopped here;

We continued on, passing Rubber Trees and Oil Palms
Passing the almost deserted Kemasul settlement
The road became more dusty towards Bera
Although the urge to go faster and enjoy some sliding was irresistible, it was a good thing we prefer sedate as there will always
be the odd vehicle on the single lane road.
More estate pix
We got to Bera soon enough, and was surprised to find this fast food joint there,
We left after an hour
We followed Pahang River, the longest river in Peninsula Malaysia until we cam to a turnoff that is the short cut to Mentakab.
We were pleasantly surprised by the road
We passed by a huge but orderly Chinese cemetary
We stopped at Genting Sempah for lunch before heading home.
Another good short day ride on roads not commonly used by Superbikers.
