It's a beautiful weekend, but as soon as I started work, my to-do's started piling up....... However, I don't want to not ride at all, so I said, "Oh, that's right. I've only got 15km to go, so I'll let it reach 10,000km and take a picture of the odometer. I'm going out in very heavy gear, but when I turn on the key and look at the odometer......
Oh, and it's not 15km to go, it's 115km.
I only checked it briefly when I got back from touring, so I was tired and my brain was filled with wrong information......
So I've been wandering around the neighborhood for a bit, but I haven't reached 10,000km yet.
Ducati SuperSport S
So first, I dropped by a red bike store five minutes from my house.
I was watching motorcycle videos on YouTube with my Amazon FIre TV Stick attached to my TV at home, and there was one bike that caught my attention.
As you can see in the video, as soon as we parked the bike, the staff came to meet us. And then they showed me this.......
I didn't notice that they hadn't started selling them during the large series of rentals & test drives.Ducati sports tourer。
Ducati SuperSport S
I've seen a few of these on the web and in magazines, and I'm like, "That looks like a VFR800F..... But it's even more awesome, right?" But from the impressions I've read, it seems to be a street-legal sports tourer that can compete with the Ninja 1000.
I was afraid to ask for a test ride, so I held back just a little bit, but it looked like it would be easy to ride with a good footing and a relaxed position....... There was also a red model in the store.
I fell in love with the styling of the white model: .... And the more I look at it, the more gorgeous the equipment.... The more you look at it, the more gorgeous it is.........
The calipers are Brembo calipers, and the master cylinder is also a radial type Brembo caliper.
The S type has an OHLINS rear suspension and front forks. The standard type, which is a bit cheaper, does not have OHLINS, but considering the difference, there is no reason to choose a model that is not S.....OHLINS front and rear suspensions (front springs only) for the Ninja 650I've been a believer ever since.......
I don't really know what functional benefits there are other than weight reduction.The cantilevered rear suspension is still very cool.....The two-stroke muffler (like the NINJA 650) is a short type with more space under the body.
I'm a little lost. ”Can I get a quote?" I said to myself: ...... And while I was at it, I took another look at the body of the car......
I was taking pictures thinking, "Cool, cool, cool," and then the quote was ready.
Hi. I just woke up from a dream.
Too expensive for an adult toy: ....... When I got home, I did a little Googling and found that there are several rental bikes in Tokyo, so I'll just have to put up with renting one....... So when the weather gets warmer, I'll rent this and go touring!....
Where to mount the external microphone?
Well, one of the purposes of today's outing is this. When I was touring at the beginning of the year, I put external microphones in the pockets of my leather jacket and in my seat bag to take pictures, but the wind noise was so bad that I couldn't hear the engine and muffler........ This time, I put it inside my helmet to see what I could do.
Pull the microphone cable into the helmet.......
I'll put all the extra cables together and gum it up at the mouth.......
I clipped it to the breath guard and placed the microphone itself in the ear area of the helmet. I placed it in the recessed space for the headphones.
But .... Not so good: ...... The video above is the one I shot with it in place, but there is room to reconsider the placement: ...... If you want to use it for motoVlogging, this is the right place...... I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.
Stopped by 2Rinkan and went home.
It was past 3:00 pm when we left, so the sun was quickly setting. The part that attaches the USB power supply to the handlebars was torn off during the last touring, so I had to replace it........
As usual, I went to the 2Rinkan in Mizonokuchi to buy a tie wrap.
I went to the store, but the cheap tie wraps were sold out, just like I wanted......
I had no choice but to check out the photochromic shield (the one that changes its color depending on the intensity of the sunlight), which is the bike-related part I want the most right now......
I came home without buying anything. I just went to Amazon and picked up a colorful tie wrap.
That's it for today. Tomorrow is another day off, but the weather forecast is for rain, so I won't be able to go touring..... I've got a lot of work to do........
Next weekend."Hanami Touring in Izu in January"I'm going to be quiet for the next few days.
