Mountainbiking and trailriding



Both these activities carry the same principle. You ride off road while trying to overcome obstacles accross your intended path. This activity demands full concentration and a fit and good physical condition. Strategic planning and execution play a major role in conducting yourself succesfully without serious bodily harm. You must have a basic principle and proper technique learnt and stored in your brain.You must practice any theories learnt regularly for your muscles to remember and it will become automatic for the muscles to react if required.The terrain changes according to wheather conditions and geography. Alertness and quick decision making is paramount to ensure good progress especially at high speed. The higher the speed the faster you have to react.
A friend and I had a short 2 hour ride last weekend. The wheather was good and the ride was beautiful. As usual we rode the trails nearby and enjoyed just the same. It was on our trailbikes

My story


Hello,my name is KLX 150. I was born somewhere in Indonesia and was shipped to Malaysia.My body color is kawasaki green with silver frame.I was sitting in a bikeshop in Kuala Lumpur before being bought by an old man and was registered in November 2009.I was given a little modification by this old man to suit his own riding style. My footpegs was moved back and my rear wheel was replaced with a 17 incher for easy tire choices. My handlebar was replaced with a slightly taller one.
The old man who bought me likes to go off road and the first few months under his ownership was hell for me. I was put through various off road conditions while the old man assesed my usefulness. I know that he is happy with me being light and my single cylinder with 150 cc engine produce enough power for his purposes. Im cheap. My requirement for oil change to keep my internal happy is little and is being done every 1500km.
I used to go out with my types and also KSRs. We roamed the forest around Shah Alam and nearby trails within 50km radius.
I have not been out lately for my owner is busy with his work but today he took me out for a short ride.He seem to be happy with me and we did few hillclimbs,slides and small jumps just to keep ourselve sharp and ever ready for future adventures.
