Allhamdullilah, praise to GOD that finally the Harley Kids - Ride with the HEROES event went great after few weeks of planning & work hard. I'm glad that turn up was excellent as almost 200 people signed up inclusive of the riders + Harley owner's kids and their family members. Not to forget few members from the media as such Utusan, NST, WTR Magazine came to join this program too.

I had an idea of doing this for quite some times back hence only this year i managed to make it happen. I didnt really sleep that night before this event, worried about the weather as it was raining the whole Friday night. Luckly, while drafting my Director speech in the early morning, rain finally stopped at 4.50am. Finish all registration stuff & the speech, i took a short nap at 6.15am, befor Azu wake me up at 6.30 for a prayer before we both get ready to the dealership for that morning event.

This is one of the objectives, with riders meet among them, the kids makin more friends and not being left at home.

| It's a FAMILY affair...!! |
By 8.50am, we called everyone for a group photo. There was suppose a welcoming ceremony for the new harley owners, however due to time & tight schedule we have to changed the plan. Choo our Director made a short speech to welcome the riders & family members, i did some explanaition on the itnerary and Zain the Captain brief all on the ride plan. Once all the kids on the busses and riders ready with the bike, we off to Putrajaya via MEX highway.
The 30 minutes journey to Putrajaya was the memorable one as from front i could see line of Harley-Davidson bikes with most riders in red t-shirt. We had a good ride off corse with some assistance from the marshal. We reached at Putrajaya square to take a group photo infront of the Prime Minister office. Few tourist from China came a take photo with us too.
Later accompanied by 3 BOMBA Malaysia officers, we rode to their station and when we reached at the station more firefighters were there to welcome the group.
The program started at Putrajaya Fire Station with a short briefing by the BOMBA Putrajaya Chief, Tuan Azmel. Later it was continue by the demonstarton of firefighters response to the emergency call. Basically, we could see how fast the firefighter prepared when they were called to attend to the emergency situation.
The program continued with more activities as for the kids below 7 yrs old, most of their time were occupied by coloring the firefighter drawing, while elder kids were busy with riding the fire engine & shooting target with water canon. As for the riders & others, they were given the opportunity to try the skylift, hose marching and fire fighting with the extinguisher.
There were so many activities we did during the program and overall, i can see most of the kids and the adults enjoy the day. Luch was great too and to conclude the day, there was a short closing ceremony and speech by HOG and BOMBA besides exchange of momentoes between both sides. BOMBA did prepared some prizes too and most of the kids received good goodies and prizes to bring home.
At the end of the program, we took a group photo with all the firefighters and before leaving the firestation once again we say thak you to all the members for their warm welcome & great event!
Thank you BOMBA Malaysia Putrajaya, HDKL & all my fellow HOG Malaysia Chapter members,harley owners, kids & family members for joining this event. See you guys next year and this time we will deal with - the TANKERS!!
