GW Opening.
I missed the snow corridor last week, so I thought I'd go to the Zao Echo Line.From a young man I know. ”I've made a big show of going away to my seniors at work, so I'd like to go to Nagano or Shizuoka or someplace with beautiful scenery....." He invited me on line.でWe were cursed with rain last year.Revisit the Venus Line.
We met at Dangozaka SA at 7:30 in the morning, which was very early for me, to give us enough time to get there.
From the Kawasaki IC, I took the Tomei highway to the Chuo highway via the Ken-O highway.
The service area where we met was already full of motorcycles......
My companion's bike is a dragster 400 with a Gatling gun-like muffler.
Another Hornet rider was supposed to join us, but he had an accident on the way here that damaged his shift lever, pedals, and tank, and he couldn't start his engine, so he didn't participate.
I was worried about my injury, but I was relieved to hear him say on LINE after I got home, "It's just a sprained wrist," and "If the repair cost is too much, I'll get a big bike from one of my seniors at work at a discount (lol). I'll see you next time if I have a chance.
So we set off with two people.
I was expecting a traffic jam at the Kobutsu Tunnel, but the flow was smooth on the Chuo Road at 8:00 in the morning. We reached Suwa-minami IC in no time.
Following last week's trip to Kusatsu, we went to the area where the cherry blossoms were in bloom again.
Was it at Lake Tateshina? Here.WG-M1Now that it's mounted, I'm going to enter the Venus Line while taking video.
In no time at all, we were gaining elevation and enjoying the spectacular view.
Is that Lake Shirakaba I see below me?
The temperature is rising and it's a perfect day for touring, which makes Yaeh!
My companion has only had his driver's license for a little over a year, so he didn't know about Yaeh!
The Venus Line is famous among riders for its horse sashimi rice bowl, but I hadn't checked where it was, so I had a venison lunch in Kirigamine.
We also had a set of red rice and mushroom soup to celebrate the good weather.
It was still about midnight when we finished eating. It's nice to leave early in the morning.
We continued on to Utsukushigahara to enjoy the Venus Line, but there was an incident here: ......
The dragster's rear brake pedal is malfunctioning.
It seems that sometimes when I step in the car, it doesn't go back, and I run out of the lane on corners. It's dangerous.
I heard that this happens about once every two months. I heard that it can be fixed by disassembling and cleaning/lubricating the pedals, so I went south on Highway 152 looking for lubricating oil.
After trudging down the mountain, I found a home improvement store and went to the parking lot. With the oil we purchased and the tools in our side bags, we immediately started repairs. Meanwhile, Wossan slumped down in the parking lot to recover from his early morning departure.
I'm sorry I didn't help you.
After the repairs were finished, we decided to have something sweet, so we headed toward Suwa and had a 3 o'clock snack.
Behind the counter was a friendly lady who didn't seem to fit the name of the restaurant.
I dropped the young man off at the Suwa Interchange and put him on the expressway for his work the next afternoon.
I'm still a little under-run, so I took the Koshu Kaido and headed home.
On the way, we stopped for a buckwheat noodle break at the roadside station Shinshu Tsutaki-juku, where we also stopped during last year's touring. Oh, by the way, we sat at the same table and ate soba noodles last year, too...... When I was thinking about it, I had an unexpected imagination about the origin of the name of the cafe where we had just had tea.
”That lady seemed nice.......... Oh! Could it be...The name of the store, "Iwaru Granny," may have been a payback to her mother-in-law for being so mean to her......"
No way, man.
So, we finished eating soba. We continued to enjoy the Koshu Kaido.
When we got back to Yamanashi, we had traveled more than 500 kilometers and were getting a little tired, so we decided to go to a day-trip facility with a napping space in Ishwa Onsen. ”Priceless Hot Water of Medicinal Stone" I took a bath break at
After refreshing myself, I borrowed two blankets from the receptionist and moved to the sleeping floor. The sun had already gone down and it was getting dark outside, but I was ready to sleep until 10:00 p.m. and go home by the end of the day.

I woke up at 1 a.m.
I have no choice but to go to bed twice and switch to an early morning departure.
This facility allows you to stay for up to 24 hours, but this is a pattern that has turned out to be a bad thing.
So, to be continued.another articleIn.
