Countryside ride...

This was last monday ride, it was pretty spontan last minute ride... i was just waking up when my friend whatsapp me asking me if i wanna join the ride... well of course i said YES! ... haha ,... anyway.... i took a shower and went straight to suit up, getting ready to ride.... destination tutong.... tutong is one of the 4 districts of Brunei .... but we're riding countryside.... where's the fun of riding on highways right? .... with my Terra i'm sure pretty sure i'll be riding a lot on countrysides road.... and i'm always on the look out for off roading adventures.... see how capable Terra is off road.... lol .... but today is just gonna be more of a tarmac ride.... so off we go... there were 4 of us.... 3 off road bikes including Terra and the new FZ16 fazer Yamaha.....

i forgot to set from the start, so this is halfway ride only map

First pit stop... dropping off some stuff to my friend's cuz 

 Smoke break

 First fill-up of the day... from my tripmeter calculations... $2 = 130km

Stop by the side of the road waiting for our Yamaha friends that we left behind lol 

As usual stopped by for drinks... anyway this is our final stop then go home

ice dessert durian.... my tradition after a long day ride!

well this is kinda my 2nd long distance trip... well not really that long though, rode for an hour and a half non stop from Tutong town up all the way to Batang Mitus then WYWY bengkurong.... going at average 80kmh... my hands get that buzzing sensation as i mentioned before but not really worst like the first time..maybe because i was expecting it.... kinda sore bum.... but it was really fun riding countryside..... not slowing down on road hump is a plus with the Terra! .... still not used to the gears or maybe i was too worried or too careful on gearing and revving as it is still not run-in.... i was too careful on riding not more than 80kmh..... but from my iphone's GPS, the Terra's speedometer is not that accurate as the GPS measures my max speed was at 75kmh although on the speedometer i reached almost 90kmh.... but aside that it does feel comfortable on the right cruising speed... not too fast not too slow.....

now i just need to run-in the bike soon!
