Okay.. on this episode, I was challenged by
my colleague Shidi.. The challenge is to am I capable of riding the Kawasaki D-Tracker 250
So I am here.. basically in the middle of nowhere
and what I have here is a letter containing the challenge from colleague Shidi
[Reading] Naz, the first challenge.. can you ride the bike at all? Is your feet even touch the ground?
okay.. my rough height is around 150cm
The question just now, if I can ride the bike at all? well that we have to see
so the first task is actually to ride from here to the bottom of this place
So I will try to ride it.. because honestly speaking.. I have no clue how to do it..
So this is my first time ever to ride a motorcycle of this kind and capacity..
therefore, it is quite hard for a first timer like myself to tackle this kind of pretty rough environment..
My journey to the bottom of the hill is really a challenge to my physical and mental.. well, I do have a small physique anyway
If there was not enough preparation for myself, I could end up sleeping in the bushes
but luckily there was nothing mentioned about how fast should I ride to the bottom..
So I decided to ride very slowly..
Thank god I made it alive to the bottom of the hill
Okay, I manage to get down safely.. even though it took me forever to arrive but the main thing is I'm safe and I made it..
for now, I will be heading to town.. to meet up with a friend in getting extra advice for riding this kind of motorcycle
all this as a preparation for my next challenge
but before that
Kawasaki D-Tracker 250
a bike known to be in the category of motard powered by 249cc 4-stroke engine
with a power of 24hp and 21Nm of torque
it can definitely give the bike a strong performance in it's category
with a digital fuel injection system being used, it will definitely give a much economical fuel usage
This particular bike is nearly identical to it's twin the KLX250, especially for the suspensions and the brakes
[the friend] okay one of my advise to you Naz.. as a firs timer riding a bike like the D-Tracker 250
As for yourself.. you definitely has a small amount of experience in riding a motorcycle with a big engine right?
[Naz] Yeap that's right..
Actually.. not that I'm against you
only that, be extra careful
because when we are not familiar with one particular bike or machine
so it can really brings more harms to a rider in almost every way
cos.. as we know.. a motorcycle that is more than 250cc is already quite powerful
so when we mistreated a bike of this caliber.. that is when bad things can happen..
so my advise from what I can see here.. you have all the basics of the safety equipment
but you need to get more of it
so that's about it.. and just be safe
the following day
okay.. as of now, I am in front of KLCC to start my challenge for the day
why here? I'm don't know myself but what I know is that I need to read this letter here.. so..
[Reading] Naz, so you think going a little bit off road you're already capable of handling this bike?
[Reading] now, your task is to get from here to the hill of Ampang.. going through the city area..
the distance is about 13.9km, can you?
[Naz] Oh god..
but why am I worried about the distance?
okay, this particular challenge is quite advance for me
with my feet barely touching the ground.. it is one of the significant reason for it..
and I'm not fully comfortable with the bike.. plus with my lack of experience riding this kind of bike in town..
especially with my questionable riding skills.. a short distance can be felt as pretty long way for me..
once again, luck is on my side.. as the traffic for that day was not really that packed.. that gives a positive start for me
But I'm keeping in mind to ride safely.. anything can happen and we never know when..
with my destination is just few kilometers away..
the weather suddenly add another challenge to myself.. the heavy rain pours like a bursting water pipe. but I have to keep going
even with my time on the bike is not as long as I wanted.. but I have to say..
the bike has a great balance and it never disrupt my confidence in riding.. even in this condition
and once again, I safely arrived to my destination.. completing my task for the day..
this is definitely a brand new experience for me.. a great one..
okay, for this Kawasaki D-Tracker 250.. I have to say that it is one amazing motorcycle..
and honestly.. It is way beyond my capability to handle such bike..
but, it doesn't mean that I couldn't ride it.. look at me.. I made it here..
only that, I need to get a better preparation, practice and exercise to my techniques and physical to really enjoy it..
so.. that's it for now and please stay tune.. don't forget to subscribe to our channel and Like our FACEBOOK PAGE.. Good Bye..
