Sunny morning. Not too hot, but enough to redden the skin and almost make high-grade dehydration. Forget to bring drinking water which shouldn’t be happen. ah, never mind ... “LIMO” Dirt Bike circuit looks deserted. The wind blowing gently, make the brain feel that at this time I suppose to lay under a shady tree, beuuhh ... The circuit Surface looks somewhat wet soil, and tends to dry in many parts. Maybe because of the rain last night which flushed surrounding areas. Green grass, shade trees, shrubs and grasses, shrubs scattered around the circuit along approximately 1.8 km. it looks increasingly beautify the overall appearance. a SNAIL Supermoto Helmet, BAFF Multipurpose bandana feel cool as a mask, SCOYCO Gloves, and sneakers to complement todays riding. It doesn’t feel too safe without special shoes, Knee and Elbow Protector, and without Jersey. Not a race anyway, so, its okay. A Justification that is not supposed to be happen ;) Okay, ... Let’s Roll. Smoothly, the throttle twisted, and The 180 cc Apache Series engine sound roaring gently, and the torque seemed to flow gently to the chain as a successor power to the wheels. The Traction feel good. The tires grip the ground with a good feel. The SB117 dual-purpose tire still looks very suitable to be used, and this iron horse is in good condition, though not the best. Motor start rolling, trying to rev the engine and measure the maximum torque that can be felt on the first beat. Slowly start down one ridge with a slope of 30 degrees, a combination of two derivatives within the meeting, a little bounce to the left, and took a special trick. Rev the engine, let it flow, and feel the engine brake that works well, without touching the front brake at all. Ok, managed. And almost touching the plain, Full throttle and played in the gears go into 2nd gear, 3rd gear up, and the Apache run fast on the bumpy track. 3 seconds, makes a bend to the right, and tilted the bike with Counter Steering and gear down to 2nd gear, and straight into the bend to the left, Clean, and this time the loop length, full throttle. Twisted in the throttle again, 3rd gear, 4th gear, and bumpy and muddy track again. Gears quickly shift the 2nd gear, and straight into the right corner, in.., Back to Counter steering, and looping to the right. Looping through, and step up; Climbs 45 degrees ahead. Quite long one, about 20 meters from the point of maximum torque. Standing position, Full Balance and Full throttle, get in 3rd gear, and Apache hurtle Rise back up. Without pause and to avoid loss of torque, shift to 2nd gear and 3/4 round throttle twisted. Feels good. The Torque in 15.5Nm / 6500 RPM, the power throw us out of the step up, clean and clear. The landing is quite smooth. Blows down, perfectly tempered by the original Gabriel manufacturer Nitros Shockbreaker. Perfect. And a stepping down, making Apache must do a Hard Braking, Clean Section. The braking system works perfectly, significantly reducing the vehicle speed. Without waiting to lose torque, The throttle played back in three quarters in 2nd gear, and this time a small Single Step Up 4 meters long, must be passed. Full throttle. small step-up, medium speed, good torque and fit enough, the Apache passes Single Step up without any constraint, and a Brake Slide terminate short round at the LIMO Circuit. Alrighhttt ... .. Well, several times making other laps, even had time to stalk a Yamaha WR250F. Couldn’t make passes, but merely accompany behind, and that is enough ..: v TVS APACHE RTR180. The little Beast could pass any Obstacles that made. We passed Sumatra, Borneo, and hoping that the same unit will run on Celebes .. One Day ... ;). We admit it, we trust it, and off course, we can Rely on It. Bravo !! 1 pic by Exlesia Randaru
