The 3 Nation Charity Ride event comes back to Malaysia! Organized by the Super Bikers Club Malaysia on 27th to 29th September 2019 at Casuarina @ Meru Hotel, Ipoh, Perak. Now in its 26th year, the event remains as the longest running and biggest gathering of Super Bikers in the South East Asian region motoring calendar in both Malaysia and Thailand’s Book of Records.

This is the biggest annual event on the regional biking calendar and has been participated by thousands of big capacity motorcycles and bikers from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries around the Asian region. This yearly event is held to raise funds for charity and also bring all bikers from across the borders together. Over the years, the event has cumulatively raised more than RM2 Million which have been distributed to charity homes identified by the host country and organizer. The 3 day event normally runs from Friday to Sunday and we expect over 1,000 bikes from the 3 countries.

The 3 Nation Charity Ride event has been rolling from strength to strength since 1994 and is organized annually on rotation by one of four founding clubs, which are Super Biker Club Malaysia, Penang Motor Sports Club, Team 27 Singapore and Team Hanuman Thailand. Its aim was and still is to promote safe riding and comradeship, with the less fortunate in mind.

For the first time in 25 years, the event introduces and opens up to other bikers who can choose to participate in just the Dayride Convoy, from the official hotel venue to scenic Gua Tempurung on Saturday 28th September 2019. Registration for this is only RM 90 and open for Malaysian Bikers only which includes the official 3NCR19 Ride T-Shirt, Arm Socks, Stickers, Goodie Bags, Lunch and charity contribution.

Bikers can ride home after this convoy segment as a half day activity and gain a mini experience of the 3 Nation Charity Ride.

For those buying the Full Event package at RM180, this includes the following schedule for the 3 days:
Friday: All bikers and groups from Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia assemble at the official venue for registration and Goodie Bag collection.

Ranggi Bikers Motorcycle Club “Charity On Wheels”

Ranggi Bikers Motorcycle Club, a motorcycle club with Charity as a mission are raising funds for Klang Special School.

The 27-year-old Sekolah Khas Klang is in dire need of help as it is currently facing tough times coping with its financial situation. The school, which offers care, education and training for 150 children and adults, has been running in the red in recent years. Lack of government funding and contributions have compounded the problem.

The school needs RM35,000 per month and RM500,000 annually to cover its operational costs. In recent years, the contributions in terms of cash had not been encouraging. The school’s only source of income is the RM100 school fee it receives from each child and that total fee will not even cover half of the monthly operating cost of the school. Even the school’s swimming pool had been kept closed for several months.

Ranggi Bikers Motorcycle Club has raised more than RM90,000 so far (and still going) to support the school.

In conjunction with the Merdeka celebrations, Ranggi Bikers would like to inform your good self that we would be handing over the cheque for “Charity On Wheels” on the 30th August 2014. Its would be great if we could get bikers to support us by spreading the awareness of our fund raising effort as it would aid us in our future charity events.

Below are the following details if you would like to join the cheque presentation or add to their charity contribution, at the event:

Date: Saturday, 30th August 2014
Venue: Klang Special School, LOT 43416, Persiaran Tengku Ampuan Rahimah, Klang.

Two Innovative Technologies to Increase Motorcycle Safety

Motorcyclists face a unique set of challenges on the road since their preferred vehicle is smaller and handles differently from other vehicles on the road. Safety on the road is one of the most important considerations for motorcyclists, especially regarding accidents. The World Health Organization’s latest report shows that road traffic injuries caused an estimated 1.24 million deaths globally in 2010, down from 1.26 million a decade earlier. Half of these deaths occurred among pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. In light of these statistics, many companies are finding new ways to make coexistence between motor vehicles and motorcycles safer. 

A new type of safety light

Traditionally, many motorcycle organizations and state departments of vehicles encourage motorcyclists to flash their brakes when they decelerate, but a company called Vectolabs is looking to automate the deceleration warning.

Vololights are a new type of light that illuminates when the motorcyclist slows down, regardless of whether or not the rider is using the brakes. According to an article from Fox News, Vololights will flash twice per second if a motorcyclist accelerates or downshifts, or flash five times per second if the rider uses the brakes. Vololights consist of two sets of LEDs built onto a license plate holder fitted with an accelerometer and CPU.

Vectolabs claims the lights fit a wide variety of motorcycles, including some classic bikes like 1960s Vespa scooters. Vectolabs assumes the lights will conform to state and federal legal requirements, but urges interested riders to check their local laws before considering them. The lights have a stealth mode that turns off the system if the lights are not allowed.

Anti-lock brakes

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reported in a study that motorcycles equipped with antilock braking systems (ABS) are 37 percent less likely to be involved in a fatal crash than models without ABS. Today, most major brands include the system on their biggest motorcycles and make it available to place on mid-level motorcycles, but more entry-level bikes would also benefit from the technology. 

Antilock braking systems allow riders to apply the brakes with full force without holding back due to a fear of locking up a wheel. ABS can also reduce brake pressure if a lockup is impending or increase pressure again when the bike is under control. Without the technology, a wheel can lock if the brakes are hit too hard or with the wrong front/rear distribution and cause the rider to lose control and eventually fall off the motorcycle. If the brakes are squeezed too gently on a bike without ABS, then the motorcyclist might not stop in time to avoid a crash.

Antilock braking technology has raised doubt in many motorcycling enthusiasts, the New York Daily News reports. Many think the technology is a waste of money, impedes a new rider from actually learning to handle a motorcycle whatever the road situation and that it’s not failsafe. Nevertheless, studies of fatal crashes, insurance claims and test track performance indicate that antilock brakes are an important element of motorcycle safety.
