Touring without a navigation system is a continuous process of getting lost.

土Days of the week: work and taking care of the cat.

I have a rental reservation for a GSX-S750 from Saturday night to Sunday night.Last week's GSX-S1000Fand compare them to narrow down the list of candidates for the car increase!
So, I worked during the day. I took the staff who came to my house out to lunch and avoided eating alone.
After working until late in the evening, I headed to the usual place to rent a bike, "2Rinkan"...... Oh .... It was a reservation at a different store this time....orzI had a reservation for the next day and could only rent the car at Mizonokuchi 2Rinkan because of the vehicle transportation, so I couldn't rent the car at Minami Senzoku 2Rinkan...... The Mizonokuchi store is closer to my house, but ..... It was already 20 minutes before closing .... and I couldn't get there in time ..... I had no choice but to call and switch the rental to the next morning......
So, when I ran out of things to do, I decided to go see my sons who were living separately since I had given up custody of them after a long time.Well, it's these guys. Saturday ended with a cat charge.

It's Sunday, I'm going touring... I'm going on a tour... Sleeping in.

I was actually planning to rent a car on Saturday night and go to the Venus Line area early in the morning, but due to yesterday's mishap, the rental time was 10:30 am. I'll rent it for 24 hours, but I want to return it by the end of Sunday, so I'll give up on the long trip.
I stayed up a bit late and went to bed with my alarm at 9:00 a.m. ..... I succeeded in waking up, but ..... I fell asleep twice.....orz
When I woke up, it was 10:15: ..... It takes about 15 minutes to get to Mizonokuchi 2Rinkan from my house, but I got ready and went out, and the rental started at 11:00.

I'll try to get to Gotemba.

At this time of the day, if I wanted to enjoy the winding roads, I would have to go to Doshi or Hakone to Mt. We took the Tomei Expressway from the Kawasaki Interchange. The turnpike from Oda... This is the same course where I rented a GSX-S750 last time....... When I was driving on the Tomei, I came to Gotemba. We took a break at Roadside Station Subashiri near the trailhead of Mt. However, I couldn't mount the navigation system, so I just decided on a general direction. I looked at the signs at the roadside station...... We were just getting hungry, so we decided to head towards Yamanakako and eat some Hoto. Fuji, and then drive through Hakone's twists and turns to Daikan-zan to get some Yaesu and head home.

Yamanakako is very congested. We took a break for lunch.

So, we were driving smoothly at first..... As we approached Lake Yamanaka, the road became more and more crowded: ..... We finally got stuck in a traffic jam before Lake Yamanaka: ..... As we slowly made our way, we saw a Hoto shop. I often see them around here."tenant farming"It's a store called "The Shop". We quickly slid into the parking lot...... It's so crowded!There were so many people outside the restaurant that we had to wait for a while before we could eat. I don't like waiting in line to eat, so I just went ahead and went to a restaurant I found. So, I satisfied my Houtou craving and had a full stomach. Satisfied.

Lost, lost, lost.

Now that I've had lunch, I think I'll head towards Kawaguchiko and go to Asagiri Highland around Mt. I left the store, but .... Yes, there was a traffic jam.
At the junction from Yamanaka Lakeside to Kawaguchiko and Lakeside to Doshimichi, there are overwhelmingly more cars heading to Kawaguchiko...... So I didn't go that way. I went around the lakeside. If we went to Doshi-michi, we would be on our way home, so we avoided that direction and drove randomly.......
We ended up back at the first roadside station we took a break at!
After all, it's hard to go smoothly unless you set your destination in the navigation system and watch the traffic information...... In this case, I decided to go to Gotemba IC and head for Hakone from there..... but ..... I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.
However, this was a good result. The traffic on the toll road was extremely light, and I was able to enjoy the winding road on the GSX-S750. We arrived at Daikan-yama.
What's so strange about this place? But then I realized that this is what I was talking about.

I went home early.

I see. It's already past 5:00 p.m. ..... I'm worried about the traffic jam, let's go home... So, after this, we took the Hakone Shindo, Oda-Atsu, and Tomei roads to Mizonokuchi. I'm switching from the GSX-S750 to the Ninja 650, which I've been enjoying all day. I got so used to the low-RPM assist that I stalled at the first intersection when I started the bike, but made it home by 8pm. At a convenience store on the way home, I looked at the Ninja 650 and thought to myself, "Hmmm, the GSX-S750 has a lot of good points that are different from yours, but what should I do with it? I asked myself as I finished my Sunday.
