Spent two days in the wilderness recently in Jelebu, Negeri 9. Twas to review Kawasaki’s latest dual-purpose bike, the KLX 150S.
Being a 150, too little power for me. Am into bikes, but not small ones. But this one’s a lil different. When ur off-road, a light bike’s more flexible and maneuverable.
The review‘s for The Star. Since none of their writers ride, i get to do it. Suits me just fine of course.

The stop for the night was kinda middle of nowhere. Traversed lots of dirt roads to get there.
Make sure u have an invitation tho – coz if u dont, it’s graphically elaborated below –

Next morning, we had to take a hill. Bad scene. The wet ground was slippery as shit. Tyres were spinning, bikes were dancing and dirt was flyin. I went into full throttle, but the rear wheel just spun and we got nowhere, ‘cept side-to-side, like a fish tail.
The horse finally kinda threw me off. The bike’s rear was dancin n goin sideways so i let it fall.

Expected the weekend to be more hardcore, so was a lil disappointed coz i didnt crash into some mud pit or sumtin, cept for the minor fall of the bike. Did ride straight into a bamboo grove tho when i took my eyes off d trail for one second. Haha!
Maybe next time.

Brain damage: Reversed due to fresh air
woo, looks quite awesome. but i’m a short chinese with even shorter legs, will stick to my rs250
looks hardcore. I prefer to ride in a car. Period.
Haha! Well, biking is a different trip altogether. It aint merely a mode of transport. Once your adrenalin gets a taste for it, hard to let go.
Also very good for road-trippin.
RS250 is a race replica right KY? Must b pretty quick. BTW your jelly has been prominent in Anwar’s trial. Haha
