Finding budget accommodation with parking in Malaysia is a huge pain, but if you're desperate just rock up to the local polis station and ask if you can leave your bike there overnight. We've done this many times all over the country, and in each case the cops were very accommodating.

On MalSingMaps it's called Transit Point.
Excellent post. Thanks. I have added these to the Malsingmaps and my waypoints file.

Just as an update that the following places mentioned by RalEva in 2006 still existed when we visited in the beginning of 2010:
- Ideal Travellers House in Kota Bharu. We paid MR 35 for a double with attached bathroom and a balcony. The place is clean, the management friendly, and there is WiFi (worked well in the room!) at a small additional price.
- Cameronian Inn in Tanah Rata. We paid MR 40 for a tiny double room with a shared bathroom.
Also the Pujangga Homestay in Kuala Lumpur mentioned in another thread is still there. We paid MR 70 for an air-conditioned double with a shared bathroom, but there is WiFi.
Some bike friendly options not listed elsewhere:
Penang
New Banana Guesthouse
N5 25.127
E100 20.161
Room prices vary a lot - a double with attached bathroom was MR 80, with shared bathroom MR 60. The staff are super friendly and if you're lucky you'll be able to catch WiFi in your room. Parking in the video-surveillanced back yard.
Cherating
Coconut Inn
N4 07.553
E103 23.468
Bungalows with attached bathroom from MR 30. Be prepared for mosquito invasion! (have mosquito coils ready!) Quiet place, parking right in front of your bungalow.

"Moon Eleven " house hostel is perfect if you don,t mind a dorm.
I found the place on the Hostel.com website

Its a House Hostel that caters to passengers in transit from flights.
Close to the airport.
Has good area to hose down etc or work on your bike under veranda and in a safe area.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
