At the weekend I went to Trukhanov Island, also known as the Park of Friendship of Peoples. Just a ride. There was nothing to do and I didn't want to go far. And I wanted to compare how it is to ride in the same places on a bicycle and on a motorcycle.

Going on a motorcycle Trukhanov Island

In principle, in the park of friendship of peoples, it seems impossible to drive a car. At least on the main alley there are often guards. And it's blocked. But on the left there is a normal detour. Therefore, getting to the northern part of Trukhanov Island is not a problem. In addition, you can go there from the side of Troyeshchyna.

Well, I was coming from the direction of Petrovka. I decided to get to the northernmost point without crossing the bridge. That is, it is essentially opposite the last houses on Obolon. Next time I will go to the northernmost point of Trukhanov :-).

It was quite interesting to drive, as I had previously mostly ridden a motorcycle on asphalt. Therefore, to feel what sand is and how the moth behaves on the sand was quite interesting. On the sand by the way the motorcycle skids :-). Therefore, we hug the gas tank with our knees, hold the steering wheel tightly and turn the gas in first or second gear. I did not pick up speeds above 20 km per hour. It can be concluded that to go on such off-road that on a motorcycle of the yubr class, that on a bicycle – about the same time. True, the motorcycle growls when riding, and on the bike you listen to the sound of the wind.

I rode to the point in a helmet. And then it was decided to remove the helmet, because it is broken slightly (I am waiting for a new one, the other day it should be delivered). Here are a couple of photos of the Dnieper and the motorcycle:

The water in the Dnieper is terribly dirty. Probably partly due to the fact that there are a lot of boats there.

Almost all places near the water are occupied either by fishermen or people by car who came just to eat barbecue. In short, there is nothing to do. But the glades are beautiful, there are a lot of flowers.

Overall, after standing for 15 minutes, I drove home. It was decided to remove the helmet. Without a helmet, driving is definitely cooler.

I made it to the asphalt, and a police daewoo lanos was driving against me. Well, I think now they will try to punch a fine for driving without a helmet. But no. Drove by. I climbed up to the asphalt and started putting on my helmet. The same lanos drove by me again 5 minutes later. But they had a kick out of me.

By the way, I wonder how by law, if the road is not public, is it possible to ride it without a helmet? It will be necessary to re-read the traffic rules, although the penalty for driving without a helmet is not large. but it will still not be pleasant to give away your hard-earned money.

Overall, I was satisfied with the mini-performance. And riding on the sand brought pleasure and a little extreme.
