Hi people,
I am going for pit biking this weekend. Wonder if anybody is interested. So far there are only two of us, we are looking for more people to join in the fun. The centre we are going to has pit bikes for adults, with a 150cc engine!
We are leaving this Sat, 830am, by bumboat at Changi Village/Point Ferry Terminal to get to the centre at Pengerang, Johor.
The cost for the pit bike rental is only $55 per day per bike, inclusive of fuel, full face helmet, protective eyewear, elbow guard, knee guard and shin guard, and glove. My fren and i are gonna ride on Sat and Sun.
Drop me a note if you wanna join us.
Thanks!

Hi pdiane,
We are leaving on 4pm, which is the last bumboat. But you may leave early if you have too. Bumboat frequency is quite high during weekends.
Hope to see you.

Hi David,
I am going on both Sat and Sun. We are taking the early bumboat for both days, 830am. There will be a free land transport to pick us up from the jetty at the other side.
The clinic should start around 930am. Each person will have a pitbike, full face helment, protective eyewear, glove, elbow guard, knee and shin guard will be provided. Once we are fully geared up, we will head towards the practice ground, where the clinic is being conducted.
From the practice ground, we will proceed to ride in the track and trails.

Hi David,
For first timer, the park will first bring you to the practice area to conduct lesson for you. Once u re comfortable and confident enough, they will bring u to ride in the trail.
Pitbike is very easy to ride. Due to the size, it is only the size of a BMX, handling is effortless.
