A Journey on Two Wheels
I did my first wheelie on a motorcycle yesterday. Enough said!!
It was a real wheelie… Almost 90 degrees vertical, it was fantastic! After the wheelie my hands were shaking for many minutes, my heart was jumping out of my throat and I could hardly speak through my excitement!
I think I am entering another level of mastering my machine!
I can’t decide between a big trip around Georgia visiting virtually all the major places in the country and a trip across Turkey to Sochi in Russia.
Tough decision!
In these days when the sun is high and the weather is so calm, I so want to ride a chopper — cruising the countryside with a lovely girl hugging from behind..
My bike in Germany last year, the sexy Suzuki Bandit 600. It was crucial in my understanding of the naked street bikes followed by my purchase of Honda CBF.
There was a lot of rain those days, but my rides on the perfect tarmac of the german roads as well as the A2 Autobahn, travels through Gütersloh, Bielefeld, Melle and Dortmund were unforgettable! I miss Germany a lot these days.
Here’s a Honda Rebel CA125 (my first motorcycle) in Gütersloh:
A nice custom Honda in Bielefeld that belonged to the owner of the Polo motorcycle apparel store, an old woman of non-traditional sexual orientation who has generously shown me around the city:
And finally, an ubercool custom Harley in Dortmund:
Riding in Germany was a shit load of fun and I miss it badly. If you happen to visit it, don’t forget to rent a motorbike — it’s only about 200 euros a week!
Yerevan – Sisian – Shushi – Stepanakert – Gandzasar – Yeghegnadzor – Selim – Martuni – Sevan – Yerevan: more than 900km in only two days on the Armenian roads and in the Armenian weather! A terriblefic journey, I officially dub it the ‘Quest of the Dragon Reaper’ (Վիշապաքաղ) for myself, as a tribute to the old Armenian deity Vahagn and an acknowledgement of the draconic toughness of the ride. Sure Vishapaqagh is no 50cc, but the Armenian roads are no USA!
I never had a more special ride in my life (maybe except the first ride ever) and I will happily post about this challenge in a great detail with following posts.
Stay tuned!
My motorcycle – the awesome Honda CBF500 on the road from Tsakhkadzor to Bjni.
The short trip to Tsakhkadzor on the free Friday was amazing, and an extensive post will follow, but here is something for those who can’t wait to see stuff.
