Re:Where can rent motorcycle? How much? - 2008/07/20 15:07 I don't whether you are able to rent motorcycle in Cameron Highlands or not. But what I'm 100% sure is you MUST wear helmet whether you like it or not because it is compulsory under Malaysian law especially the Road Transport Act 1987. So if you want to make sure no police will issue summon (saman) to you, you'd better wear your helmet. Here is not India, Vietnam, Cambodia or Thailand countryside where your own pleasures are above the law. Don't bring your "Ah Seng, Ah Meng" mentality to the road because you might kill yourself and other road users. Have a safe trip in Cameron Highlands!

Re:Where can rent motorcycle? How much? - 2008/07/20 15:10 Don't forget, Cameron Highlands roads are very narrow and very winding too, this is not your Klang Valley 6-lane or even 8-lane highway ok??!

Re:Where can rent motorcycle? How much? - 2008/07/22 14:06 Greetings Kent. Answering your questions.

1. Officially. No. But I've hear about some people who will rent theirs privately. I've never try, so don't know where you can go about getting one. I've seen tourist riding small bikes around. So someone is doing it on the quiet side.

2. No comment.

3. If you manage to rent one, than yes, it is compulsory to wear a helment. But then again, I've seen local moving around without one. So I guess, it is a do-at-own-risk type of situation. Of course it is advisable to use it, why risk it.

4. Travelling between these two town is very, very convenient. It has been a norm for me to walk from TR to Br, during most of my trips up in CH. So you can guess it is not that far away, just following the road. If you do get lost, than consider yourself to be very fortunate. I've tried but I never have been able to get lost. Just make sure you have a full tank of gas. That is the safest security.

Hopes this helps.
