Motorbike season is open
It was a glorious day yesterday and seems to be almost as good today, so the motorbike season is well and firmly open now. The amazing thing was that when I uncovered the Tricker and fired it up for the first time, it started without a single hiccup – just like the winter break never happened. Almost as amazing was that I hadn’t forgotten how to ride the bike, so it was a wonderful first trip of the spring.
I also mounted the new package rack. At first I thought I have to paint it black or it will stick out too much, but it actually fits in really nicely, which figures because it was made for the Tricker anyway. The rack is not made by Yamaha directly, but by a Japanese company called YS Gear. The product leaflet is here (in Japanese), I don’t know if it can be ordered online but your local Yamaha dealer can get it for you.
Ahhh, know the feeling. Well, not motorbike, but a convertible anyways… Too bad there is so unbelievably much dust
“Get your motor running, head it on the highway…”
Gz for that, fits nicely on your bike. Ps. 28,5km hike in two days, me hurts alot…about 20-25kg to carry 
Rane – that’s a lot of hiking and a lot to carry! Honestly, did you pack *everything*?
I’ve been on a 3-day hike with a backpack of 10kg, and that includes a tripod…
