First motorcycle ride of the 21st century on a rental bike.
From Meguro, we took the lower road to Odawara-Hakone direction.
I could have made a day trip to Hakone in the morning, but I was a bit tired, and I was going to rent a bike for the next day, so I stayed in Hakone.
It's been years since I've traveled alone.
It's been about 20 years since I've seen a motorcycle.
I'm getting really bad at turning curves, so tomorrow I'm going to Hakone to train for downhill curves.
After eating and taking a hot spring bath at the inn, I went to bed early.

The next day, he went home via Shonan/Zushi and Hayama area.
The turnpike, as it seemed to get in the way when I went to the Tsubaki line. Motorcycles everywhere.

There are nearly 200 bikes in the area, and the average age of the riders is over 40.
I made it home safely. I remembered that curves are made with the soles of the feet, the upper body, and the eyes, and I can ride pretty well even after 20 years.
But why had I forgotten how much fun motorcycles can be?
On the way home, I came across a bike on Route 1 that was the same model and color as the one I had 20 years ago, and I strongly felt that I could buy that thing again.
