Route Twisk is actually the name of a twisty mountain road in Hong Kong. I chose this name to mimic life. Life is not a straight line. It is full of twists, turns, ups and downs. This journey to start a Channel is a case in point. The fear of getting started, procrastination, learning and experimenting. I sincerely hope the content and editing will improve with at least one new skill per new episode.
HK's usual suspects and tourist hangouts have been well documented, photographed and videoed. For the series of "Hong Kong On A Motorcycle", the aim is to showcase the paths less traveled. In time, the geographical coverage will expand. Hope to circumnavigate Taiwan late 2023.
Born and raised in HK. Lived in UK between the late 70s and late 80s. Trained as a civil engineer but have been in banking for 3 decades. I am 58 years young, married and have 2 adult children. I see this channel to keep me busy when I retire.
Most importantly, I do hope you enjoy the journey with me!
What are the RestrictionsA probationary driving licence holder is subject to additional driving restrictions on top of existing ones applicable to ordinary motorists. Specifically, he is: required to display a “P” plate at the front and rear of the vehicle he is driving (in the case of a private car or light goods vehicle, display of the “P” plate on the windscreens is also acceptable, but the “P” plate must be displayed on the left-hand side of the windscreens); not allowed to carry any passenger on the motor cycle or motor tricycle he is driving (applicable to motorcyclists only); not allowed to drive at a speed in excess of 70km/h even on roads with speed limit above 70 km/h; not allowed to drive on the offside lane of expressways where there are 3 or more traffic lanes. This is what I found on transport department website about P plates.
I know there are certain roads and times of day that L plates cannot enter. However, there does not appear to be any restrictions for P plates on Route Twisk. Sorry but I did not go through the P plate system so am not 100% sure.
Hi Sir, nice of sharing biking video in HK, didn't know that there are such big bike over there since efficient transportation available. And sad to hear that the local (birds enthusist) are not so friendly to you. (I m not from HK)
Hi @whylsl, thank you for clicking into Route Twisk! Yes, I agree there is very efficient public transport in Hong Kong. Better still, in 18 months' time, I will be qualified to jump on any bus, train or ferry for HKD 2 or USD 0.25! There are plenty of big bikes in HK, as well as hundreds of Ferraris, Porsches and Lambos. If you check out my other videos, Shek O is where a lot of these hang out at the weekends. No one needs or can travel at 200 mph. These are hobbies and toys. Just for clarification, the Harley trike is not mine. No worries about the bird people. May be they just got out of bed the wrong side that day. It was a Monday after all! Where are you from?
@@Route_Twisk TQ for replying my comment,😆 I am bikers too, frequently "zooming" from SG to MY to TH (highway of course, way exceeding speed limit of 110km/h 😛)
SG is a nice city. A friend there does a lot of hard core jungle enduro. I have only toured other countries on a bike once, and that was around the dirt trails of Chiangmai Thailand. However, I am planning to circumnavigate Taiwan in Jan or Feb soon.@@whylsl
Yes, love Shek O. Family used to spend as many as 15 weekends a year there when the kids were little. Now I go for breakfast every Saturday and Sunday.
