My Virgin Track Day at Johor Circuit, Pasir Gudang, Malaysia

Johor Circuit, Pasir Gudang, Malaysia

Finally, after months of pondering, weeks of anticipation, and days of build up excitement, I've decided to take my baby Ducati and myself down to the track!

9:54am

Singapore was only about a 30 minutes ride to Johor Circuit at Pasir Gudang, Malaysia. By the time we arrived at the track, it was packed with other bikers who were practicing their rounds. 

Per session is 1 hour and it costs 50RM. We registered for the 11:30am slot, just when the sun is about to climb to it's peak to heat up the track.

High 5 for Pit 5!

After being briefed on the dos and don'ts on the track and releasing tyre pressure, I'm ready.. to KNEE DOWN!! Hahahaha.

Of course not. It's my first time, I'm not going to risk and attempt such a stunt. Memorize the lap first!

With my new Drift Ghost action camera proudly sponsored by Hodaka Motoworld mounted on to record my very first track footage, what are we waiting for?
Let's GET OUT THERE >>

Did my first 5 laps to heat my tyres up and try to memorize the corners as much as possible. Some of the corners are really quite tight! My lines were all over the place :(

I looked something like this kitten. Lol

My eyes always widen up, looking left and right when I hear the other bikes coming up fast behind me, and I'll be like "oh no oh no! They come alreadyyy!" I will try to ride faster like some steady queen but before I can even twist my throttle, they zoom past me in a second. Bleahhh!

By the 15th lap, I've got my tyres pretty nice and stickyyyy! Hehe but still not pushing hard enough as being a newbie, I'm still very reserved on the track. Fastest speed clocked was 161km/h on the straight, and my cornering was, er.. 11km/h? Hahaha chuiiii :p

Hey, I'm pretty sure I can knee down at 11km/h on a corner. Just that it will be elbow down, shoulder down and whole body down also. Lol.

Well, most importantly everyone was safe and I had loads of fun! Thank you to my kind friends who guided me around the track for the first 0.7 seconds. So helpful right? Haha I was on my own pretty much for the rest of it :)

Let's ride this lean machine now! Meowww!

Next up in line for track session? Maybe this lil brave kitten who found itself on my Ducati.
