Trip to the village on a motorcycle for 200 km, a small breakdown, rain and the way back by minibus
It was decided last weekend to go with a friend to the village. It is located 200 km from Kiev in the Chernihiv region. The purpose of the trip was twofold:
– roll on the moit 400 km, since I am still running in, just after the trip it would be almost 1000 and accordingly the second toe.
– Pick up a friend's motorcycle from the village
In the end, none of the goals were met :-(.

It was decided last weekend to go with a friend to the village. It is located 200 km from Kiev in the Chernihiv region. The purpose of the trip was twofold:
– roll on the moit 400 km, since I am still running in, just after the trip it would be almost 1000 and accordingly the second toe.

Beginning of a mote trip to the village
What can I say, we drove together, there are a minimum of things with us. Everything fit into 2 school backpacks, and half-empty backpacks. I wound one backpack with a spider to the trunk of my skirt, and the second one I put on my friend.
A spider is a very useful thing! Therefore, I recommend buying it right away. If you drive yourself, then the school backpack under the spider elegantly climbs and you do not need to carry anything on your back.
We drove towards Chernihiv and since I have little experience, we drove along a little busy road, which is located to the left of the Desna River. Few cars drive on it.
At the exit from Vyshgorod we refueled. Well, then there were long 5 hours of driving. Why 5? Because we drove slowly, the mot is still on the run-in and I still have little experience. The maximum speed on the speedometer was 70 km per hour, at 6000 engine speeds. Somehow not much. But what can you do. We also made stops every hour to let the engine cool down, and even take a break. Sitting in the same position is uncomfortable, the legs of the arm and butt are leaking.
We drove and almost reached the village, there are literally 20 km left. We make the last stop to rest and then I see that the headlight is my round, rests on an honest word! On the way, 2 bolts with nuts that clamp the headlight fell out. And the most offensive thing is that I myself am to blame for this, because when I put the headlight, I did not tighten the nuts tightly. That's when driving and everything shook.
So be sure to screw things up well!!! Put 2 nuts where possible. The number for example I just have fixed with two nuts. Also inspect the mot when stopping, sometimes visually easy to notice the missing bolt.
Headlight repair
Alas, I didn't have spare bolts with me, so I temporarily wound the headlight with a rope. 20 km was just enough, and then I in the village already twisted everything normally.
Way back or hello rain and goodbye mot
We arrived in the village. We drank beer, spent the night and in the morning I thought to go back together. But a friend's mot broke, at first gasoline flowed from the hoses. He has by the way a pit bike kayo crazy cat 140 cubes. And there was black smoke coming out of the muffler. In the morning, he sorted out the carburetor, the gasoline stopped flowing, but the smoke remained + the motorcycle began to stall. In short, ass. It is impossible to go on such a mot for 200 km and it was decided to go back on my two.
And now we were about to leave when it started to rain… and it went on for a long time. The whole sky tightened. In short, it was decided to get from the village on its own, more precisely by bus.
That's the epic fail. Mot is now standing in the village in a garage. And I'll have to go next week to pick it up, alone. And also the weather is not the best, again rains are possible. I'm thinking of buying myself a raincoat, so that I could somehow go in bad weather.
But in general, I was satisfied with the trip. It's great to ride a motorcycle on the track. And although I got to the village for 5 hours, nevertheless it was a fun and interesting 5 hours!
