| Ready to go. Petronas Bintulu 0702hrs |
It was drizzling that morning, it's 0515hrs but that doesn’t
stop me from riding. I will be covering 337 KM from Miri to Mukah. Estimated
another 200 KM to Bintulu then about 90 KM to Balingian. I have rode from Sibu
- Balingian - K.Balingian - K.Tatau - Bintulu early this year. So I have to pass
the same road again to Mukah. Mukah, is a small town, where it is famous with the local
Melanau Umai, and fresh fish from the sea. Mukah is about 58 KM from Balingian,
so I rode up here to Mukah for the first time, the road was not that bad
compared to Selangau – Sibu, which indeed 110KM/h is an ideal speed for the
road.

With Zul Bintangor at Simpang
Balingian - Mukah |
Beautiful place indeed, met Zul a rider from Bintangor and
he brought be to meet Tuan Nahari. We are in the same motorcycle group, so we
end up having a great cup of coffee with Tuan Haji (He is a District
Officer for Mukah division) in small market next to the dock, where I can see
the fisherman carrying fresh fishes from their boat to the market.
Not long after that I was been invited to attend a local wedding ceremony at Melanau village not far from the town.

| Took a selfie at the small Ship Dock next to the Mukah wet market |
 |
| Cassie the bike would love to have a photo next to Mr "Soon Hai Fung" registration number "QSB 1812 K" |
I’m honoured
to be invited to this humble couple wedding, looking at kids playing around,
having fun singing, taking photos with my bike, the only reason I say yes is
because of the food. I was starving from Miri, so it’s great also that this
couple join us for lunch too.
 |
| Tuan Nahari on his Versys, and Zul Bintangor on Z750 |
 |
| With this two sweet lovely Couple and the S1000rr BMW bike. |
 |
| With among all the guest, they join us for lunch, Congratulation Mr.Mus and partner, and thank you for the invitation. |
As we said goodbye and congratulation to the couple, Tuan
Nahari brought me and Zul to Oya square, Oya is located about 26KM from Mukah
itself, he showed me the “Pasar Sabtu Oya” is a wet market where local people
sell and buy fresh vegetables and any wet item.
 |
| Mukah - Oya took about 20 minutes ride and only 26 KM from Mukah |
 |
| Zul took a selfie with me and Tuan Nahari at Oya Square |
 |
| Neeh, won't fit in my box anyway |
So After the ride, Tuan Nahari invited
us to have a light refreshment at his huge cozy house. Honestly I would love to
steal the design of his house.
 |
| Such a huge house, could spot it 400 meters after the small Mosque. |
 |
| The Kawasaki Z750, will give it a test ride after this. |
 |
| Hot day indeed it was but look at the house compound! |
 |
| Zul was messing around with Tuan Nahari's volkswagen beetle. |
 |
| Ready to take off back to Bintulu as Zul, will be heading up to Bintagor. |
 |
| Cozy house in-deed Tuan Nahari, thank you for the light refreshment. |
Mukah, I would not forget the friendly people here. Thank you
so much for the hospitality!
