Yes, I woke up at 9:30... I thought I'd ride the Venus Line to see the autumn leaves... I was thinking of going to the Venus Line to see the autumn leaves, but after riding just over 20km the day before, I was feeling pretty tired."feeling of having got on"I was not used to riding the SR400, so I didn't feel like riding long distances on Sundays when I had to work the next day....
I ended up working a bit, and left the house at almost 11:00... In the parking lot, I tried to kick-start the car... I was able to start the engine once, so I drove on to the Tomei Expressway.
Lost from the Turnpike
And this is where I ended up. I think the turnpike rate is almost 100% when I oversleep on a rental bike.
While I was taking a break for a canned coffee, many fast looking motorcycles and cars were passing through the toll booths, but this one was an inefficient air-cooled single cylinder. After a short pause, we entered the toll booth. Yesterday it was 4,000 to 5,500 rpm."Running Electromagnet"I started climbing up the hill with a big single that made me feel like I was in the middle of something.
We didn't stop at Taikan-zan, but went straight down to Moto Hakone. Unfortunately, the road by Lake Ashinoko was quite congested. I didn't feel like aggressively slipping through in the SR, so I just quietly lined up with the cars and drove on.
After all, the vibration of the SR gives you the feeling of having ridden a short distance. The area around Hakone was crowded, and I thought about going back the way I came on the Hakone New Road and peeking into a bike shop on the way home, but that would be too short of a ride. I decided to go back to Yamanakako and take the Doshi-michi road.
Mesh gloves at 12 degrees Celsius
So, we headed for Gotemba first. Before we left, Alexa told me that the weather forecast for Hakone was 13 degrees Celsius at the lowest. That's the temperature at midnight, right? It's never below 15 degrees Celsius in the daytime, right? I thought so, and rode here with a leather jacket, light knitwear underneath, and mesh gloves on my hands....
The thermometer on the shoulder of the road on the route to Lake Yamanaka, over the mountain pass, showed 12 degrees Celsius... My body is a little cold, but my hands are even colder! If it was a Ninja 650, I'd turn on the grip heaters as fast as I could....
This was not possible with the rental car. We rushed to evacuate the convenience store and found that it was heated. I was super relieved. Incidentally, the navigation system stopped displaying our exact location when we were driving along the shores of Lake Ashinoko, and I wondered if it was because of the vibration of the SR. I thought it might be because of the vibration of the SR, but at this point, I was pretty much lost.
We were supposed to go to Doshi-mura, but when we were just driving along, we somehow ended up at Roadside Station Subashiri... I took a break for curry udon to check the route.
The route displayed on the smartphone navigation system was either the Tomei Expressway route from Gotemba or a route along the Tomei Expressway. At this point, it was still past 16:00. We had plenty of time to spare since we had to return the bike at 8pm. Since I had experienced the harsh wind on the SR highway on the way out, and the temperature was expected to be low on the Tomei highway from Gotemba to Hakone, I chose the lower route.
rushing to return a book
So, I made a big mistake in choosing the lower road.
When I started driving again, my smartphone navigation system stopped working again. I was trying to get to a road I knew, but I got stuck in a huge traffic jam on Route 1 toward Hakone-yumoto.
When I slowed down, the smartphone navigation system came back to life, but at this point, the estimated arrival time was over the return time.... However, at this point, the estimated time of arrival was over the return time... Since the Yahoo! So, I started to drive through the road, which I had refrained from doing so far.
After passing through Hakone-yumoto, we took the Tomei from Odashi and got off at the Kawasaki IC. It was past 7:30pm at this point. Even if we had to refuel at the gas station in front of us because we had to return a full tank, we would be able to get to Meguro's "2Rinkan" a little before 20:00. Relieved, I headed toward Meguro along the familiar Nakahara Kaido, but... But... I got caught in a series of traffic lights at just the right time, and the time was ticking away!...
I ended up refueling at the gas station at 19:55... It's only about 20 meters from here to the return store... I failed to start the engine twice in a row...
I was in a hurry because it was dark and it was hard to see the small window to check the upper dead point of compression... There was a time when I was charged several thousand yen as an extension fee just because I was a few minutes late in returning an item... So, I took the following measures"For the remaining 20 meters, the plan was to push the bike and take it with me."So, when I finished returning it, I looked at my watch and saw that it was 19:57.
When I finished returning the bike, I switched from a single cylinder and said, "What? Is this a six-cylinder bike?" Sunday ended with me riding home on my Ninja 650, which felt so smooth.
I ended up working a bit, and left the house at almost 11:00... In the parking lot, I tried to kick-start the car... I was able to start the engine once, so I drove on to the Tomei Expressway.
