Had an adventurous trip on my KLX..56K Beware!
 
At exactly around 3am on the last Saturday morning we left for a place called Buttala which is exactly about 265kms away from Colombo (the capital of Sri Lanka.. Where I live).. My dad was leading in Vehicle and another of our vehicles was following me..

We left and on the way I got 171kms out of one full tank before I switched onto reserve. I rode another 30kms on reserve!! Pretty good actually..On usual rides get only about 130kms before I switch to reserve.. Bike performed great too!!

Here are the pics..

On the way.. About 160kms away.

Heres a video of me going through the water and I park the bike, then I show the cameramen lol.. Then at the last part he suddenly get excited because the ground where I parked my bike wasnt hard, the stand went through the ground and the bike tipped over and completely went under water! The airbox had about 2 litres of water and the carb had water in it too!! BTW I went so deep in the water by taking the two carb vent hoses and tucked into the hole in the side panel.. Never stalled.

Hope you enjoyed and go to this link for the whole lot of pics!
