Video summary

The riders have arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, marking the beginning of a new chapter after completing a massive 6,000-kilometer journey through northeastern India. Upon settling into their apartment located in the second tallest building in the city, they are immediately struck by the daunting yet magnificent urban landscape. The view from their balcony offers a stunning panorama that includes the iconic Petronas Twin Towers and the Exchange 106, highlighting the sheer scale of the capital's skyline. Despite the initial excitement, the reality of navigating such a complex metropolis sets in quickly, as they realize that taking even a single wrong turn could send them five kilometers off course in a city with roads winding at multiple levels and confusing intersections. Before embarking on their first official ride, the team visits a rental shop called Bino Motorcycle Rental to select their machines for the upcoming month-long expedition. After considering expensive large tourers like the BMW GS and cheaper but less suitable scooters, they settle on two 250cc bikes: a Benelli TRK 251 and a Benelli Leoncino. They find these models to be an ideal compromise, offering enough power for touring while remaining lightweight enough for the riders to place their feet on the ground comfortably. The rental process involves some trial and error, including a comical incident where one rider gets lost during a test ride around the block due to the confusing one-way street system, but they eventually secure the bikes and install their luggage racks with the help of online tutorials. The first actual ride proves to be an intense experience filled with both challenges and surprises. The riders navigate through heavy traffic in the dark, utilizing a dedicated bike lane that allows them to bypass gridlock and save significant time. They encounter various cultural nuances, such as the necessity of paying for fuel before pumping it and learning local greetings, while also marveling at the incredibly high overpasses that offer breathtaking views of the city's architecture. Although they initially struggle with navigation and fear getting lost in the sprawling city of eight million people, their bikes perform flawlessly, giving them confidence to tackle the difficult road network. Ultimately, the first day concludes successfully as they manage to navigate back to their apartment high above the ground, having survived the chaotic streets of Kuala Lumpur. The experience highlights the contrast between the intimidating complexity of the city's infrastructure and the freedom provided by their new motorcycles. With the bikes secured and the initial fears of getting lost overcome, the riders feel ready to continue their adventure, planning to head south to explore the southern tip of Malaysia over the coming weeks. They promise to share more details about their itinerary in the next video, leaving viewers eager to see how they will handle the rest of this epic journey.

Honestly guys, these roads are not a joke. >> If you take one wrong turn, you are like 5 km the wrong way. Wait a minute. Uh, we have to go on here. Yeah. >> On or off? >> On where? >> On. On. On on. >> On where? >> On the on the ramp. >> Good morning, world. Welcome back to the channel. In our last video, we just finished off our 6,000 kilometer ride through the northeast of India. After this, we took a small small break, but we didn't have to wait long for our next epic motorcycle adventure. And now we are here in a brand new country, the capital city of Malaysia, Kola Lumpur. And guys, check out the amazing view from our balcony. Can you believe it? Right here is the second tallest building in Kola Lumpur, the Exchange 106. It's over 450 m tall. And over here we can see the center of the city and just about Malaysia's most famous landmark. The Petronis Towers are just there as well. It's just amazing. I'm really blown away. But anyway guys, today is an exciting day because we are just about to head over to a motorcycle rental place to choose our next motorcycles for our upcoming trip. So let's go. >> It's going to rain. >> Oh no. >> Yeah, just hit thunder. Hi, how are you? We just left on our way to the rental place and it just started raining like crazy. That looks terrible. Look, look, look. That is not good because we have to do about a 30 minute ride to get from the rental place back to our hotel. I think we're going to get really really wet. >> Thank you so much. Yeah. Have a good day. Bye-bye. >> I don't think that I need my sunglasses anymore. >> Hello. >> Hello. Hello. How are you? >> Luggage here. >> This one is motorcycle luggage. >> Okay. >> And this what we make small and put inside here. >> Oh, brilliant. >> So, this is the rental place, Bino Motorcycle Rental. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. So, these guys have quite a few bikes on offer. As you can see, there are loads and loads and loads of different kinds of bikes here. We were kind of a little bit spoiled for choice here. So, we've had a look at quite a few different options. They have quite a few of these like big tourer bikes. Like this, I think, is a 500cc. You got a BMW GS, and there's an 800cc bike here. But these ones are definitely going to be too big for us and also too expensive as well. I think these ones are costing something like at least $50 a day. So, we didn't want to go for the really big tour bikes, but we also didn't want to go for the little scooters either. So, they have quite a few bikes that are kind of in the middle. They've got the Suzuki SX 250 here, but this one was still quite expensive, actually. So, I was asking the guys if they had any other 250s, which were a bit cheaper, but still suitable for touring. And they showed me this bike over here, which is the Benelli TRK 251. 251. And this is uh definitely smaller and lighter than the biggest of the Taurus, but it's also a lot cheaper than the Suzuki. So, we kind of had to make a bit of a compromise. But they only have one of these, unfortunately. So, they've recommended this as the second bike, which is also a 250 by Benelli, the same brand. It's a little bit less of a tourer, more of like a scrambler, but I think it should be okay. I mean, it's still got two wheels. >> Yeah. >> So, we think that these are the two bikes that we're going to take, but uh I think we need to try them out first. I'm just going to go around the block. They said it's just right, right, right, right, and then you're back here. >> Oh, the seat's wet. >> Oh, no. Woo! Wow! Nice. >> All right. >> Yeah, it looks quite big, but I think because it has a 250cc engine, it's definitely a lot lighter than the Himalayan, but it seems to ride good. >> Yeah, I think we can't go wrong with that. >> Love is wearing her rain trousers. That's smart. Wait. >> Suitable for for the weather today. >> Okay, >> sweetie. You don't have a helmet on. >> Oh, >> you look good though. >> That's the most important. Eh, >> was it right, right, right? Yeah. >> Right, right, right, right. >> Yes. I swear Lavy should have been back by now. >> Oh, nope. Is that her? No. >> A few minutes later. >> Lavy's definitely taken a wrong turn because she is taking way too long. >> A little longer than a few minutes later. >> So, Lavy's still not back yet. So she's probably lost. So >> you see she turned at this junction or another junction in front. >> I think she turned at the first one. >> So the staff member here is going to go out and see if he can find her. I have her phone here as well. So she doesn't have a GPS. Love is lost on the first ride >> eventually. >> There she is. >> Yeah. Sweetheart, which part of right right did you not get? >> God, >> I think I saw you one time two streets that way going that way. >> Yeah, because it's all one way here. So, I got really confused. The first ride I did go, but the second ride I didn't go because I was sort of concentrating. I was enjoying myself. Like, I just didn't see it, you know? And then suddenly I was like where am I? >> He went out looking for you. >> I'm sorry. >> I've come to the rescue. >> I had to ask two people. I had to ask two people. Where is it? >> And they know. They know about my place. >> But you were going only here, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. I was going only once you miss >> uh the ride because I was concentrating on the road. I was like, "Oh, that feels nice." And then suddenly it's like, "Oh no, I'm wrong here." >> Anyway, >> anyway, the bike feels amazing. I'm really excited to go on a new trip with this bike. I mean, it's very low as well. So, so I can easily like get my feet on the ground. >> It's lighter. It's going to be easily maneuverable. I think you can get your feet on the ground really nicely. >> So, I think that's that's great. >> Yeah. Nice. Check it out. >> Awesome. So, we've brought along our amazing Westwind moto gear here. Tank bag, pas, everything. So, we're going to get the bikes loaded up. >> This one here you need. >> It's been so long since we installed these pas that we've totally forgotten how to do it. So, we're watching a tutorial from Westwind Moto. >> These two holes here on the Ranger Wild. >> Okay. Throw it over. Just like the endo, we find the straps here on the back. >> Straps on the back. >> Adjust. >> That's it. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, it actually goes in in and around and back underneath the same piece. >> And then once we repeated the process on the other side, we're going to go ahead and tighten. >> I think we got it. Now, we will just tighten it up and see if it will hold or not. Okay, >> that's good. >> So, it's a little bit strange to set up because actually we're attaching a rackless PA set to a motorcycle rack. So, it is a little bit weird, but it should work. Right. So, we're going to put it there. Okay. Oh, okay. Yes. We have installed. >> Yes. Now we just need to get our motorcycle gear on, jump on the bike, and ride back to the hotel. >> Today's video is sponsored by I knew.

And here is Lavy all geared up and ready to go. >> You. So, I forgot to tell you guys what model is riding. By the way, it is the Benelli Leon Chino Dento Chinuanta, >> which I think means 250. Okay. >> Okay. >> Thank you very much. All right. >> Thank you so much. Nice to meet you and we see you soon. >> Perfect. Thank you so much. >> Woo! Here we go. Nice. >> Okay. Are you ready? >> I don't know. I actually don't know. >> Are you ready to start your new adventure? >> I guess I have to be. >> Here we go. >> Bye-bye. Bye-bye. >> Bye-bye. Thank you. So, let me just have a quick look here. Okay. So, let me see how it feels. So far, the bike feels really, really good. >> Just watch out they don't open the door. >> Okay. Yep. >> Where is my horn? >> There's mine. I didn't hear it. >> This is not It's not working. >> It's not working. >> No, look. I have to message them. But anyway guys, so our petrol is really really low. So the first stop will be a petrol station and then we have about a 50 minutes ride to ride back to our hotel. So it's going to be probably completely dark, which I'm not too excited about to ride in the dark in a new country, but um it's all part of the adventure. Hey. >> Yeah. I thought we had a lot of time, but you got lost on the test ride, so And it took us quite a while to get this gear sorted. Setting up the gear for the first time on the bike. Getting the payment sorted. And now it's it's nearly 7:00, so definitely later than we wanted. >> But here we go, guys. Welcome to Malaysia. The start of a new epic adventure >> on the streets of another new country. How does it feel? >> It feels amazing. >> How does your Benelli feel, by the way? >> I can't complain at all. It feels actually really good. It's not heavy or anything. I can even get my feet on the ground. I mean, this is like the first time me experiencing a 250 where I can actually get my feet on the ground where it feels like quite comfortable. No problem at all. >> Yeah, mine feels like a proper tourer. Like really, it just feels like a very lightweight tourer, but I have a comfortable riding position. It's only a 250 engine, but it seems to have enough power. But I am a little bit scared about riding uh into the main part of the city. Yeah, I mean we are starting our first ride here in Malaysia in the capital city. Obviously the largest city in Malaysia. I think Koala Lumpo has around 8 million people living here. So this is uh going to be a hell of a first ride. Wa! First ride. And she's already filtering. >> Woo. >> Just keep in mind your bags are relatively wide at the back. Yeah. >> Oh, I totally forgot them. >> They are quite wide. >> I totally forgot them. >> Ah, and here's the petrol station. >> Yay. >> So, we're not going to run out of fuel on our first ride. And it's a shell as well. Feels like being back in Northampton. Awesome. So, first time fueling up in a new country. First question is, do we have to fuel up ourselves? >> Um, >> I think the answer is actually yes. Yeah. Yeah, this guy's filling up on his own. >> So, yeah, we have to fill up our own bikes, my love. We are not in India anymore. >> Don't know how to open. >> Oh, you can be my fill up. >> I will. I will. Are we taking fuel save 95? >> Yeah, >> probably. Yes. No. Is he gonna Oh, no. I think we have to pay first, my love. >> Oh, okay. >> Let's see. Can we just tap the card? It says transaction declined. I'll go inside and I'll see if I can do it. Okay. >> Hello. Uh, we want to fill up. Do I pay before or after? >> Pay after. >> Yeah. You pay first, then later you pay inside or second >> and then I pay here. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So he says fill first. >> I know when I do this. >> It's our first fill up here in Malaysia. >> We don't know how it works. >> So fuel cost fuel cost here in Malaysia is 3.97 ringit per liter, which is 3.97. Ooh. 74 p a liter. >> Oh, really? That's not bad. >> It's the good price. >> Three ringit uh 97 cent one liter. >> Yeah, that's good. In England, it's like three times more. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. People in Europe struggling a lot now with that. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Yeah. My one as well. Thank you. How do you say thank you in Malaysian? >> Malaysia. >> And how do you say like hello? >> Uh, hi. I like English also. >> You can just say hi. >> Hi. >> Oh, that's easy. Hi. >> Yeah. >> And what's your name? >> My name is actor. >> Actor? >> Yeah. Oh, like an actor? >> Yeah. >> You don't work here. You're just an actor. >> Okay, that's fine. Thank you so much. >> Perfect. I have no idea how many liters we have actually in the tanks. So, we filled up uh 23 L. >> 23 L. 41. >> How many liters was this one, do you think? >> Uh, not catching. >> Maybe like 10. >> Uh, yes. >> I think this one's bigger. No. >> H, this one very big. >> I think we just picked up the bikes now. So tomorrow we are going to Jor to the south. >> Oh, I see. >> The southern point of Malaysia. >> Oh, >> like the most southern place. >> Uh, we're going to stay 1 month. >> 1 month. >> Payment was good. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Good. >> It did work. >> Okay. >> Do you know for the motorcycle, do you think this way or should I take this way? >> No. No. This one. >> This one better. >> Ah, this one better. >> Bit better. Okay. >> You don't follow this one? I think >> because it looks so complicated. Look this. >> Yes. You're just >> It looks really complicated, but we try. Okay. >> Thank you, >> Takasi. >> Thank you so much, Takasi. Nice to meet you, actor. >> All right. >> All right. Okay. Bye-bye. >> Bye-bye. >> Oh, just stalled it. So, we are coming closer to the city now. Starting to see all of these highrises. Oh, cool. And there's like sort of night street food market here at the side. And I think that's a really common thing here in Malaysia and especially in Koala Lumpur. They have one of the most famous night market streets in this city, which we will be visiting at one point in this series. But yeah, you can see here all of these sort of indoor outdoor eating places. Got some chicken roasting on a stick. Oh, looks good. But yeah, it's pretty much dark now. Sorry, my love. We are going to be riding in the dark on our first ride here in Malaysia. Well, no, we're approaching our first overpass. Are we going on it? Oh, I think we're going on it. Yes, we are. We are going on our first overpass, guys. here in Koala Lumpur. Woohoo. Honestly, the streets of Koala Lumpur looked very daunting from our hotel window. We could just see a view from the window of about like I don't know hundreds of different roads in all directions. I don't know if we have to go up or down here. So, we'll go we'll go up. We'll go up. I have no idea. >> Honestly, it looks so easy to go wrong in this city. There are a million roads going everywhere. >> Also, I just asked Ollie to go ahead because I always need a little bit time to get used to the bike and then at the same time uh reading the directions is a little bit uh tough. >> Okay, here it says we got to do a U-turn. >> Uh okay. So, we went wrong. >> No, no, no. I think it's supposed to be like that. Ah, >> okay. >> So, we got to do a U-turn here, but it looks like a normal place to do U-turns. Oh, neutral. >> I'll just wait for you here. >> Okay, coming. Okay, I'm with you now. >> But yeah, the road systems here look absolutely crazy, so you've really got to be paying attention. Oh, no. I don't know. I don't know. Uh, let's go uh up. Let's go up. >> Okay. I have no idea if it's up or down. Let me see. >> Yeah. Yeah. I think this is it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. This is right. >> What is this? >> Look at this road. Look at all of these roads. If you take one wrong turn, you are like 5 kilometers the wrong way. >> Yeah. No, honestly guys, these roads are not a joke. I mean, it's sometimes three levels high. Now we've got to merge on. >> Okay. Straight >> on the two right lanes. Now the road splits in two. >> Okay. >> And we take the two right lanes. >> Okay. Perfect. >> If we go there, then we're like completely in the wrong direction. >> Oh my lord. >> These roads just wind their way everywhere. I mean, I'm really impressed actually. The road system is pretty smooth going and all the traffic seems to be flowing pretty well. >> It's very advanced. >> Oh, I think we're coming to like a barrier. Ah, wait. There's a bike going to the left. Let's just follow the bike. >> Okay. >> Yeah, there's a bike lane. Look, there's a sign. >> Oh my god. >> Bikes go for free. >> Nice. Thank you, Malaysia. >> Okay. Yep. doing really well. We've got 8 km more to go. >> Oh my god. You can just see a sea of cars in front of us. It's like a standill here. >> Yeah. Let's just slowly filter through. >> Oh, but it looks quite tight. Okay. Okay. I'm behind you now. >> You with me? Okay. Now, we're going to go to the left side cuz I just saw a biker going down the left. >> Just be really careful cuz it is >> a bit of a bike lane here. >> Woo. >> Yes. >> Woo. I don't know if that's an official bike lane, but I see, you know, lots of other bikers using it. >> Bikers are the best. I mean, that's amazing. Look at that. Look how much traffic we can just skip. >> Well, it's pretty good because none of the cars seem to be using it. >> Yeah. Good on you guys. >> Oh my god. Be careful. The bike is coming behind you. Just go further to the left. We're getting even overtaken in the biker lane. >> Is it still for us straight? >> Yeah. That's good. >> This lane is so good. Seriously, I mean, we are just flying through the traffic. This is amazing. >> They probably saved us an hour. >> Seriously? Yeah. It says it's only 10 minutes away now. So, we're going to take a left here now. Exiting. >> Okay. >> Ah, that's why they're all stuck. >> Oh. Something's going on. >> Oh, was there an accident or something? >> Uh, there's something going on there. Look. >> Okay. >> How is your bike performing, by the way? >> Oh, it's so good. Like, there's no problems with this at all. Like, really? I mean, I had never really even heard of Benelli before. Had you? >> No. >> Yeah. I mean, we did not choose these bikes for the brand, guys. It's not a sponsored deal, even though we both have Benelli bikes. It's just that they were like the cheapest 250 tourists that the that they had. Wait a minute. Uh, we have to go on here. Yeah. >> On or off? >> On where? >> On. On. On on >> on where? >> On the on the ramp. >> Oh, okay. That was really like really tricky. >> I think actually that's wrong. Sorry. I'm not 100% sure because I think we actually should have been on that road. >> Oh no. >> Let me see. Maybe it's okay. Maybe it's okay. Oh my god. Look how high up we're going. >> Yeah. >> Oh my god. Look at this. >> I think we must be like >> 10 stories up already. >> Yeah. >> Look at that. That is insane. Look how far down it is. Wa. Look at that. We are so high up. There's probably another lane below us as well. >> And look at the skyline. Look at the vista. It's amazing. And guys, I don't know if you can see it on camera, but over there is the second tallest building in the whole world. The lit up pink building there. Yeah. I can't remember the name of it, but it's over 600 m tall, I think. And then there we can see the Koala Lumpa Tower, which is the one with the sort of ball on the end. And then just in the background, don't know if you can see that on the GoPro, but we can see the Petronis Twin Towers as well. This is such an incredible road into the city. Look at that. >> Yeah, it's incredible. Wow. >> What a crazy ride for our first ride here in Malaysia. What crazy buildings, eh? >> Beautiful. We're just passing over a bit here. I just saw there are four roads in one part. Four. Here we have our lane, the lane below us, that overpass, and then the normal road at the bottom. Four roads on top of each other. That is beyond insane. But the question is, do you know where we going? >> Yeah. Yeah, we're still good. >> Okay. >> Bike lane. Bike lane. >> Bike lane. Okay. >> Yeah. Wow. This view is just stunning. Absolutely stunning. >> Yeah. Look at that. We can see in front as well the second highest tower in Malaysia, the Exchange 101. The one we can see pretty well from our apartment. >> Hey, isn't that your place? >> Uh, yes, that is that this tower here. That's where we're staying. >> Yeah, >> it is exactly that tower. So, we've basically got to go down, round, and back to reach that tower. >> Okay. So, how do we do that? >> I don't know. Absolutely epic though. Absolutely epic. What a first ride. >> Yes. >> Okay, we're going back down to earth. Look at that. We went down one level and we're still on an overpass. Okay, this is where the map is very, very confusing. So, I have to take it nice and easy here. Let me see. So, merge on. No, don't merge on. >> Don't merge on. Oh, okay. >> Don't merge on. Come off. Oh, it says no motorcycles. >> No motorcycles. >> No, don't do that. Go here. >> Okay. >> Okay. I think we had to go like that and across and back or something. I don't know. It's all right. It's fine. We can make it this way as well. >> Okay. Whoa. Do you see that grab biker? Oh, yes. There it is, guys. Our apartment at the Continu Residence, which is like 50 stories high, by the way. Our little home. >> And this is the entrance. Not the first one, but the second one. >> Oh my god, we made it home. I'm so happy. Hello. Hi. Hello. >> Hello. We made it. >> Okay. Thank you. Wee. And now they said just look for a bike parking. So, I mean, right here, I guess. >> Okay. Yeah. >> Nice. >> Nice. Oh, my love. I'm so happy. Chuck. >> Nice. >> Survived the first ride. >> Yeah. That was pretty hectic though. >> That was >> Koala Lumpa. 8 million people. Yes. >> But anyway, we are here. We've survived. The bikes have survived. So, I think we're ready to take on a new adventure here in Malaysia, >> I guess. So, >> I didn't actually say what we were doing. >> We will tell you in the next video. >> Yeah, we'll tell you guys what we're planning here in Malaysia in the next video. >> Yes.
