Royal Alloy Durian Ride
8 classic scooters + 13 enthusiasts + 100kg of durians = Durian Ride Durian Ride, this is what happens when a classic scooter fan is crazy about durian. That sums up the durian ride, a maiden event by Royal Alloy Scooter Club Malaysia (RASM) over the weekend. The event is as straightforward as other ride events, but what makes this a bit unique from others is the Royal Alloy (RA) machinery. RA Background in Malaysia According to RA's authorized dealer in Malaysia, Chear Global Sdn Bhd, the brand was brought in 2019. At that time, the space for the classic scooters was already fulfilled by Vespa and Scomadi in Malaysia. Hence it probably explains the oversight of the fans and the 2-years MCO period also helps the delays putting the brand at the centre stage together with the others. However, the landscape changed in 2022 with post-MCO or as we entered the Endemic phase. As a result, the RA brand starting to gain traction among classic scooter enthusiasts.
