1,500 kilometers in a daze
Come to think of it, I suddenly remembered that my first encounter with motorcycles was this book I read when I was in elementary school. Maybe.
This is a travel tale and coming-of-age story of Tojiro Ukitani, who later became active in the pioneering Japanese racing scene, asking his grandfather in Osaka from Chiba on a 50cc motorcycle he was given in junior high school.
I still have the name of the bike."Kreidler."I remember that it was ..... I don't remember what's in it, but I wonder if it will be available for kindle: ......
Chiba.
But I digress. Today I went to a bike shop in Chiba. I had some business to attend to in the morning, so I called and made an appointment for work to start at 4:00 p.m. ..... I did.
Strong winds at Aqualine: ......2pm and the situation is still the same: ......
Before.I had a scary time running when the wind was about 11 meters high.So we took a different course to the restaurant.
If you go through the Aqua-line, it takes only one hour, but we took a two-hour course around Tokyo Bay. It's a good distance for a walk.
In addition, since the autumn traffic safety week has started, I saw a lot of motorcycle on both public roads and the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway.
Light oil for light vehicles
On Saturday, there was no traffic jam on the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway, so we took the Tokan Expressway to Tateyama Road. On the way, the fuel warning started shining, so we stopped at Ichihara Service Area to refuel.....
There's something different about the diesel part: ......
I thought it was an urban legend, but I guess some people really do put it in.
Well, it's common knowledge that mopeds: crude oil, heavy machinery: heavy oil, trailers: lard oil, fire trucks: soy sauce oil, hybrid cars: waste oil, so it's no wonder you want to put diesel oil in your light car...... (Confusion)
Maintenance: oil change, grip heater installation, coolant leak prevention
I arrived at Sodegaura Honda, where I bought my Ninja 650, about 100km from home.
Changed the oil and filter, and installed the grip heater that I brought in. Also, there was a stain on the cowl a few days ago that looked like a coolant leak, so please check it out.
While I was waiting for the work to be done, I looked around the display for a bit and then peeked into the pit to see the NInja 650 stripped naked.
There was a leak from the top of the radiator hose, so we had the hose repositioned and retightened to see what would happen. The oil change and grip heater installation was also completed in no time.
Now I can fight through the winter.
Kijima Grip Heater GH07 with built-in switch
- The successor to the GH06 series with an integrated left side grip and switch. The slimmer grip and integrated switch make it much easier to use. In addition, we have enhanced the product lineup by adding the much-requested inch size and 11.5mm moped type 2 compatible models.
Various recent bikes
I was looking at the cars on display while I was waiting, and Sodegaura Honda has quite a few new cars on display.......
NInja 1000 and z1000 models for 2018
The z1000's new Emerald Blazed Green color is a soothing green that makes a good impression, and the Ninja 1000's new Metallic Matte Fusion Silver color is a matte silver that's slick and sexy. ..... I'm in love with it!
The tank and the body of the car look larger in silver because it is an expanding color compared to the black that is alongside it.
However, there are no changes other than the color scheme, and the tachometer and speedometer, which I personally find difficult to read, remain unchanged, so I won't be buying this one.......
V-STROM250
This is another car that I am interested in. This is the first time I've seen one in person, and it's an impressive bike. I've been thinking about adding a small car that can be ridden easily on the street, but even the Ninja 650 is a bit small for my size, so this volume is appealing.
The colors and textures are high, and as far as I can see in the store, it doesn't feel cheap. I also like the yellow color. I wonder if there are any rental bikes for this somewhere....... I'll look for it.
SSs: GSX-R1000R, R1
I think there were other YZF-R6s there as well: .... SS is still beautiful to look at: .... The price is high and the details are elaborate: ......
Well, I've been avoiding sepahan forward leaning machines since I broke my back on the Hayabusa, so I don't think I'll have any luck in the future......
The R1 is available at the rental bike shop I have a contract with, so I may ride it sometime soon.
Fish on the way home.
So, I spent the rest of the time in the store reading magazines and playing with my phone while waiting for my acquaintance's"I want a fish!"I was inspired by a post on .....
We went to a fish restaurant 5km away from Sodegaura Honda.
This is a restaurant where you can choose seafood from the fish tank and have it grilled. For a moment, I felt very guilty, but I was grateful that the cooks would do it without me.
Seafood bowl, abalone, rock oyster, horse mackerel...... Well, it's a restaurant aimed at tourists, so the taste is ordinary.
After dinner, we went through Aqualine where the wind speed dropped to 8 meters.......
I went home quickly, which was a change from the outbound trip.Today's mileage was about 150km.
Even though he says he hasn't driven as much as he thought he would, he's still on pace for 20,000 kilometers a year.......
