Another update….we went obstacle riding today and it was a very cool experience for me. I have never ridden a motorbike on such an obstacle course which included logs, hill mounds, woody tree trunks and various other blockages to practice ones skills. I felt so very confident today, almost like I am ready to do a racing event. However, I am far from being fit for a whole day or a longer event, but at this time I feel that I will be there and that the grapes are not that sour after all. I am sort of getting myself ready for another ride this Friday in the McLean Creek area. This time I feel that I will be able to perform better than the last time and live up my dream once again…..till then…..hang in there and wait for another update.

Wow! It was so thrilling and fascinating and as a matter of fact I have never done such riding before. I have raced the Rocky Mountains, the desert, and broken tarmacs but this was a better adventure. Even though I have been racing in the national circuit for racing in India but this does not compare to anything at all. It has also been about 10 years for me since I was in my best form, and here in this mountain terrain I found myself out of strength within 20 minutes of riding till fatigue took over and made my riding clumsier than ever. Anyway, this is a crazy terrain but I am adamant on riding on and riding better on my KTM.

I am back once again to talk about how I feel that there is a comeback in time. Today again it almost feels like those old racing days to me, yet it has been ten years since I last raced in an event. As everyday goes by, I continuously have this gut wrenching feeling to race my KTM 450 EXCR in the woods and on the dirt. There is so much excitement in me that I some times find myself reading moto-cross magazines even when I am visiting friends and family. As a result I am always in the mood to go out riding and wanting to fulfill my hobby hiding behind these wonderful books and videos. This is one very big reason I feel relieved once I go out riding, and this somehow heals the lost time and rages the urge to ride on till the end of time . I am going to be out again riding my orange beauty on this coming Wednesday on the dirt and rip it through the rivers and wooded tracks. I will keep you posted accordingly after Wednesday.  

Hi all, I went riding on Sunday in the mountains. I would like to share with all the readers that the KTM 450 EXCR is a damn powerful motorbike. Very easy to ride and oh man! does it ever jump smoothly over any ruts, pot holes and jumps. I have not ridden on such a smooth suspension before. This bike makes ridding so easy. I went riding with a few friends in the Waipurous area and it is one of the most wonderful riding areas in

Alberta. I also tested my bike in the dirt-straights and took it up to a thrilling speed of over 80 miles an hour. Crossed the Ghost River 1 2 a few times and took the bike through the woody area ad it was so exciting.

Power-bend: I was almost astonished to feel that the power bend of the bike comes early in the second gear at just a quarter twist of the accelerator and believe be me it wants to slip out from under me as if a wild fury has been let loose.
