Izu area today.
I rented it last night.Harley-Davidson XL883N IRON, but I woke up late as expected because I watched a movie until midnight.......
Checking the license plate number with the photo taken the day before, I applied for the Tomei and Chuo Road course of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area Touring Plan at .......
We left at 8:30 am.
According to the weather forecast, there was a 20% chance of precipitation at best, but the weather was not that clear, so we took the Tomei Expressway all the way to Nagaizumi-Numazu.
I was cruising at 100km/h (3,160rpm) in top gear (5th gear), but when I switched to 4th gear (less than 3,700rpm) midway, the beating feeling disappeared, but the vibration of the engine became continuous, making high-speed driving much easier. Since the cruiser has an easy riding posture, we arrived at the entrance of the Izu Jukan Expressway without taking a break.
There was no traffic on the Tomei highway today, which was unusual, so it took me an hour and a half to get here from my house.
Minami-Izu is not so far away.
Next, Izu's famous "What? Another toll booth?" The toll booths are not ETC compatible, so you will have to pay a toll every time."Stop in front of the toll booth and get some change ready, put your gloves under your ass, hold the change and proceed to the toll booth, and when you're done paying, pull over to the shoulder and put on your gloves "is troublesome.
The 883 we rented this time was hard to get out of neutral, so it took even more time. ..... It's a good route to save time because it's cheap to rent a motorcycle.
We passed through the Joren no Taki (Joren Waterfall), Amagi Pass, Kawazu, and Shimoda on the way, and arrived at Yumigahama by lunchtime.
It's a cool Sunday, so cool that the mesh jackets are about to end, but there are still swimmers in the ocean......
So I go to Aoki Sasae restaurant for lunch, which I had googled beforehand........
Hmmm. Repeat: ...... I don't think so.
Unmi Onsen Beach, footbath on the shore
After this, I was going to go out to Nishi-Izu and head north, so I took Route 136 toward Unmi Onsen.
5月にWhen I went to the Akaihama outdoor bathsWe took an after-dinner break at a footbath on the beach that we found.
When I arrived, I had the footbath all to myself.
Unfortunately, it was cloudy and we couldn't see Mt. Fuji, but it was quite refreshing to gaze out at the ocean.
I have a feeling that I will be stopping by this footbath as a resting point when touring Nishi-Izu in the future.
In addition, I forgot to bring my swimsuit for the Akaihama open-air bath (mixed bathing) today, so I didn't go. Last time I went in completely naked, but at this time of year, there's a big possibility that there are bathers in the area....... I thought, "Why not?
squid bowl
Continuing northward through Nishi-Izu. The weather was getting a little better, so I took some pictures. 883 is a very picturesque bike.
This is also a place I've stopped by a few times to take pictures of my Ninja 400.
As I was blowing in the wind, I realized that I was still feeling hungry. It had only been an hour or so since I had eaten at Yumigahama, but .....
Let's pretend we didn't have lunch earlier and have a bowl of squid rice.
ThereforeOkiagari Restaurant(Link to food log)to.
I ate two lunches and was finally satisfied.
It was a little past 3:00 p.m. when I had dinner and left the restaurant. I was thinking that I could return the 883 in Tokyo by 7:30 p.m. today, so I would go up north to Nishi-Izu and take the Nishi-Izu Skyline course from Doi to Izu Skyline ...... But when I searched the car navigation system, I found that the traffic jam at the Izu exit and Tomei started, and the estimated time of arrival is already 19:30, the time of return.......
Even though you can save a lot of time by slipping through the traffic on the Tomei, if you don't take the shortest route home, you might get charged an extra fee (quite expensive)..... So, from Shuzenji, I took the same route as the outward trip and went home quietly.
Second time renting 883N IRON
Fill up the high-octane tank at the nearest gas station 10 minutes before the scheduled return time and go to ......
Returned safely. Today's mileage is about 400km.
And my impressions were the same as the last time I rented it.
[Articles from the last rental]HARLEY-DAVIDSON 883N IRON -Rental Bikes-
I don't want to replace my Ninja 650, but I would like to add another bike to my collection: .... So, this is one of the strong candidates.
Rather than for touring, I'd like to have it as my work and walking car in the Tokyo area....... I googled it and found that it is indeed a popular car ..... The price has not fallen at all even if it is used.
