Kukas tänne Suomen "saareen" tulisi pallon pyöräytys matkallaan, koko niemenkärki kun on niin syrjässä ja metsää näkee Siperiassakin.Vahinko ettei reitti poikkea Seinäjoella :/
En oo ollut. Ja olen muutenkin ihan helvetin huono pakkaamaan reissua varten. Aina turhaa romua mukana. Siksi mä olenkin suunnitellut tohon mun Dynaan peräkärryä...^^^
Kyllä pärjää. Et ole varmaan ikinä ollut inter-raililla??
sanoi:When we left sunday morning, the cops had a roadblock set up, & everyone had to pass a breathalizer test. No problem for me, as I dont drink. If you failed the test, the cops made you go back to the party & have some coffee or something & wait to sober up a bit.
How cool is that?
sanoi:Ukraine border wasnt too bad, but I have noticed a couple things.
1, my license plate seems to confuse the hell out of them.
2, old harleys dont have frame numbers, only engine number. this also confuses them
3, not having a front fender confuses them.
4, the lenin head shift knob both confuses & amuses them.
basically, I have come to the deduction that eastern european border guards are easily confused.
sanoi:I had a problem with one RU border guard, he didnt like my kicker pedal. He was an asshole. kept telling me I couldnt have it, that I could remove it & hit someone with it. I said I could just as easily smack him in the head with a fkin brick, were bricks illegal? (he didnt speak any english )
Anyhow, he brought over his boss, & the boss looked at it, shrugged his shoulders, & told me to go on.
I'm happy to say that the goods roads are now over!
Jesus, I was being beat to death! crappy repairs on crappy thin pavement on a crappy thin roadbed. They dont make it thick enough, so the right 1/3 has sort of broken off & angled down, as the big trucks have too much weight for it.
So, I stopped about every 60-100km to tighten up things that had been beat loose.
I got past Bryansk & got a room, totally beat.
2 months of this? damn!
sanoi:yep, a chopper! what a great idea, when I'm sitting in a warm dry house in alabama, on a cushy couch, flipping thru channels on the boob tube.
a chopper. no front fender of course, no shocks, jockey shift, springer, etc...
how cool would that be!?
well it was pretty cool. then today came along.
sanoi:I should have taken more pics of the road, but it was a pain to stop & dig out the camera.
I finally made it thru the mess, & about 10km later was a gas station. Of course they had no water, but I found a clean puddle & washed my classes, shield, & lights, as you couldnt see them. Right past there was a police checkpoint. of course he stops me to see my papers. I'm covered in mud. Mr Obvious points out that I dont have a front fender. yeah. its a chopper.
sanoi:some old guy was by the bike.
he saw Lenin.
he wasnt happy!
he proceeded to chew my ass out about it. I felt bad for katanos, because he was trying to translate. I said 'calm down old man!' but he was riled up. this was the 1st time I'd gotten anything negative.
Finally I told him if he missed the old days so much, go stand in line for some bread.
Ei ne uskalla lähteä kyykyillään kiskaa pidemmälle.Nysse on jo Irkutskissa. Ei käy kyllä kateeksi jäykkärungolla jyskyttää ilman etulokari noita teitä pitkin. Ihmeen hyvin pyörä on kestänyt. Missä on nyt ne kaikki harrikoiden dissaajat?
