<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>You imagine quite incorrectly then cjw... Kuala Lumpur hosts a great event. Yamaha has a huge presence in Malaysia and they have week-long events (as do the other manufacturers) all over downtown and in bars and night clubs. I usually arrive Friday and grab a room in Chinatown with its great street life. Start my evening at the Hard Rock Cafe (usually half-price long island ice teas 'til 10pm) watching bikes arriving from Singapore. Usually move on to Rum Jungle Bar (Ducati hosted event) or one of the other bars on Jalan Pinang which all feature bike displays, umbrella girls and copious amounts of alcohol! KL is a great city to party in.
Saturday off to Sepang for Practice and Quali. The best thing about Sepang is you can buy beer in six packs in neoprene coolers with ice for about $12US! Saturday's not too busy at the track and its a great day to wander around and meet people, usually local Malays and Singaporians, sometimes Aussies or Brits, everyone in party mode and everyone sharing a passion. Usually spend Saturday night with my Malay biker buddies at clubs of their choice with Johnny Black and Captain Morgan riding shotgun... Debauchery in KL...
Sunday race, more ice cold six packs, raceday atmosphere rockin', choice of track vantage points wide and easily accessible... Luv it!
If you're not into the party life KL offers lots of PG attractions and sights, AND the shopping is worth the trip in itself. Just thought y'all would like to know...
I'd love to get there one day and do Sepang, Mick.
