Sõidupäeva jutud

[wddest]

käisin sõitmas täna.. marsuut oli saue-vihterpalu-saue
Sõit kulges üldjoontes rahulikult. Siinkohal tahaks tänada autojuhte kes vilgutasid ja varakult andsid märku eesseisvast politseipatrullist

Lisaks sai vahetatud kahe vanadaami autol ratas ära. Nad veel imestasid et noored viitsivad seisma jääda ja küsida, ega abi pole vaja isegi ilma, et oleks kuidagi märku andnud... Sai ratta alla ja asjad autosse neil napilt enne saju algust, nii et seekord läks hästi.

Lisaks sai peale harju-ristit päris mitut looma teeääres nähtud.

Selline tore sõidupäev jälle täna:)

[Õnnekas]

Täna käisime koos sõbraga avastamas setumaad ja üllatuseks on seal paljud teed kaetud tolmuvaba kattega:) Muidugi va Räpina , ikka veel üles küntud nii asulas sees, kui ka selle lähiümbrus. Teekond ise nägi välja selline: Tartu - Mooste - Meeksi - Räpina - Võru - Obinitsa - Piusa - Orava - Värska - Räpina - Leevaku - Tartu. Nagu öeldud oli ainus takistus Räpina, muidu suurepärased teed. Kokku 250 km. Julgen soovitada, kui väikest pori ei karda

Tere
Sai siis eile idas käidud .
Alustasime Kiviõli lähedalt Maidlast.Sealt panime otse Kiviõli kaevandus valdustesse,kus hullasime oma paari h jagu ja jõudsime Kohtla-Nõmmele.Seal külastasime vana söerada-küsisime hetke peremehelt luba ja see oli lahkesti nõus et me seal sõidaks.Seejärel näitas ta veel et oli valmistanud lähedal asuva tuhamäe otsa krossiraja.Huvitavad on Kohtla-Nõmmel asuvad metsa sisse kasvanud tuhast ja muust materialist mäed,samuti kui aega on astuge muuseumisse sisse ,mis pidi ka uhke olema.
Sealt suundusime otse mööda raudtee äärt Kiviõlli tagasi(täiest hästi sõidetav).
Tankisime ja siis peaaegu tankla tagant suundusime kõrgepinge liini alla kus oli maastik mis on iga enduuro mehe unistus. Enne me liini alt välja ei keeranud ,kui olime Uljastes väljas.Ühesõnaga soovitan soojalt minna seda trassi pidi.Vaadake kaardilt Uljastes teeb liin s kurvi ja tuleb maantee serva välja,sealt minge peale ja kuni Kiviõlini,või siis vastupidi.Trass täiest läbitav (pehme ja märg pinnas ,aga ilust kandev).Et mitte eksitusse ajada,siis Kiviõlist tuleb kaks liini-jutt käib raudteest mere pool asuvast liinist.
Kuna vihma hakkas kõvasti sadama ja Erxi tsikkel ka streikis ,siis tegime ühe kiire raudtee otsa .Enne Rakveret keerasime raudteelt maha ja lõpetasime Haljalas.Vot sellsed muljed siis kolmapäevast,Tervitades Lärm.

Ei hakanud eraldi teemat looma selle ebameeldiva sõnumi jaoks, sedapsi toksisin siia teemasse enda vihapurske.

Nimelt Tartumaal Rõngus on noortel teha kombeks nn. köietrikki. Pimeduses ronivad kaks tegelast kummalegi poole teed ja auto ilmudes imiteerivad olematu nööri või kuratteabmille teele ette tõmbamist.
Isiklikult ehmatas väga ära kuna tulin tsikliga ja esimene mõte oli, et kui nöör ees siis kindel kärn ja pilpad taga rattal,
nagu hiljem selgus: tegu oli vaid pahatahtliku naljaga nende molluskite poolt
Mitte ei mõist mis nende inimeste ajuga on juhtunud

Olge tähelepanelikud selliste jobudega

Tuttav tunne, kord lasin isegi liugu metsavahel kuna mingi jobu oli nööri ette pannud rajale peale kurvi, hooga lähed, ega aru saa kas köis või peenike pael puuoksakese külge seotud.

Käisin täna maal isale ölutit viimas. Mitte sellepärast aga ei kirjuta ma siia.

Olgu tervitatud rattur, kes mulle Kernu kandis vastu tuli, käpp juba kaugelt püsti

Tegid mu tuju veel paremaks ja veensid mind, et ma ei ole ainuke idioot, kes vihma ja +6C`ga maanteed mõõdab

[Nozzu]

Jet´i jutuga haakub kenasti üks viipamislugu, mis täna shadowi foorumis silma jäi.

The bike's passenger seat swept up just enough that I could see over my father's shoulders. That seat was my throne. My dad and I travelled many backroads together...searching for the ones we had never found before. Travelling these roads just to see where they went. Never in a rush, just be home by supper.

I remember wandering down a backroad with my father, sitting on my throne watching the trees whiz by, feeling the rumble of our bike beneath us like a giant contented cat. A motorcycle came over a hill towards us and as it went by, my father threw up his clutch hand and gave a little wave. The other bike waved back with the same friendly swing of his left wrist.

I tapped my dad on the shoulder, which was our signal that I wanted to say something. He cocked his head back slightly while keeping his eyes ahead...

I yelled, "Did you know him?"

"What?"

"You waved at him...who was that?"

"I don't know. Just another guy on a bike....so I waved."

"How come?"

"You just do...it's important."

Later, when we had stopped for ice cream, I asked him why it was so important to wave to other bikers. My dad tried to explain how the wave demonstrated comradeship and a mutual understanding of what it was to enjoy riding a motorcycle. He looked for the words to describe how almost all bikers struggled with the same things like cold, rain, heat, wind, and drivers who didn't see them, but how riding remained an almost pure pleasure.

I was young then and I am not sure that I really understood what he was trying to get across, but it was a beginning of something. Afterwards, I always waved along with my dad whenever we passed other bikes.

I remember one cold October morning when the clouds were heavy and dark, giving us another clue that winter was heading in from just over the horizon. My dad and I were warm inside our car as we headed to a friends house. Rounding a corner, we saw a motorcycle parked on the shoulder of the road. Past the bike, we saw the rider walking thru the ditch, scouring along thru the tall grass, crowned with a touch of frost. Dad pulled over and backed up to where the bike stood.

I asked Dad..."Who's that?"

"Don't know" he replied..."but he seems to have lost something. Maybe we can give him a hand."

We left the car and wandered thru the tall grass ditch to the biker. He said that he had been pulling on his gloves as he rode, and that he had lost one. The three of us spent some time combing the ditch, but all we found were empty cans and bottles.

My dad then turned and headed back to the car and opened the trunk. He rummaged thru various tools, oil containers, and this and that until he found an old pair of crumpled up leather gloves. He continued looking until he found an old catalogue. I understood what he was doing with the gloves....but I had no idea what he needed with the catalogue.

"Here's some gloves for you" my dad said as he handed them to the rider..."and I brought you a catalogue as well."

"Thanks"..I really appreciate it." He reached into his hip pocket and pulled out an old chain wallet.

"Lemme give you some money for the gloves" he said.

"No thanx" dad replied as he handed them to the rider. "They're not worth anything and they're old anyway".

The biker smiled. "Thanx alot."

He pulled the old gloves on and unzipped his jacket. I watched as my dad handed him the catalogue and the biker slipped it inside his coat. He jostled it around, positioning it up high, centered, and then zipped it up. I remembered now making sense of why my dad had given him the catalogue. It would keep him a bit warmer. After wishing the biker well, my dad and I left him warming up his bike.

Two weeks later, the biker came to our home and returned my father's gloves. He had found the address on the catalogue. Neither my father nor the biker seemed to think that my dad stopping at the side of the road for a stranger and giving him a pair of gloves, and that the stranger making sure that the gloves were returned, were events out of the ordinary for people who rode motorcycles. For me, it was another subtle lesson.

It was spring of the next year when I was sitting high on my throne, watching the farm fields slip by when I saw two bikes coming towards us. As they rumbled past, my dad and I waved, but the other bikers kept their sunglasses locked straight ahead and did not acknowledge us. I remember thinking that they must have seen us because our waves were too obvious to miss. Why didn't they wave back? I thought all bikers waved at one another.....

I tapped my dad on the shoulder and yelled..."How come they didn't wave back?"

"Don't know. Sometimes they don't."

I remember feeling very puzzled. Why wouldn't someone wave back?

The next summer, I was finally old enough to learn to ride a motorcycle with a clutch. Many an afternoon were spent on a country lane beside our home, kicking and kicking to start my dad's old 1955 BSA. When it would finally come to a sputtering start, my concentration would grow to a sharp focus, as I tried to let out the clutch slowly enough, and bring us to a smooth take off. More often than not, I would lurch forward.....and begin to attempt to kickstart the motor again.

Eventually, I got my own motorcycle license, and began wandering the backroads on my own. I found myself stopping along sideroads if I saw another biker alone, just to check and see if he needed help.......and I continued to wave at other riders.

But I remained focused as to why some riders never waved back. It left me with almost a feeling of rejection, as if I were reaching to shake someones hand, but they kept their arm hanging by their side.

I began to canvass my friends about waving. I talked with people at biker events, asking what they thought. Most of the old riders told me they waved to other bikers and often initiated the friendly air handshake as they passed one another.

I did meet some riders tho, who told me that they did not wave to other riders because they felt that they were different from other bikers. They felt that they were a "breed apart". One guy told me in rather colorful language, that he did not "wave to no wussies". He went on to say that his kind of bikers were tough, independent, and they did not require or want the help of anyone, whether they rode a bike or not.

I suspected that there were some people who bought a bike because they wanted to purchase an image of being tougher, more independent, a not-putting-up-with-anyone's-crap kind of person, but I didn't think that this was typical of most riders.

People by bikes for different reasons. Some will be quick to tell you what make it is, how much they paid for it, or how fast it will go. Brand loyalty is going to be strong for some people whether they have a Harley, Ford, Sony, or whatever... Some people want to buy an image and try to purchase another person's perception of them. But it can't be done.

Still, there is a group of people who ride bikes who truly are a breed apart. They appreciate both the engineering and the artistry in the machines they ride. Their bikes become part of who they are and how they define themselves to themselves alone.
They don't care what other people think. They don't care if anyone knows how much they paid for their bike or how fast it goes. The bike means something to them that nothing else does. They ride for themselves and not for anyone else. They don't care whether anyone knows they have a bike. They may not be able to find words to describe what it means to ride, but they still know. They may not be able to describe what it means to feel the smooth acceleration and the strength beneath them. But they understand.

These are the riders who park their bikes, begin to walk away and then stop. They turn and look back. They see something when they look at their bikes that you might not. Something more complex, something that is almost secret, sensed rather than known. They see their passion. They see a part of themselves.

These are the riders who understand why they wave to other motorcyclists. They savour the wave. It symbolizes connection between riders, and if they saw you and your bike on the side of the road, they would stop to help and might not ask your name. They understand what you are up against every time you take your bike on the road.....the drivers that don't see you, the ones that cut you off or tailgate you, the potholes that lie in waiting. The rain. The cold.

I have been shivering and sweating on a bike for more than 40 years. Most of the riders that pass give me a supportive wave. I love it when I see a younger rider on a "crotch rocket" scream past me and wave. New riders carrying on the traditions.

I will continue in my attempts to get every biker just a little closer to one another with a simple wave. And if they do not wave back when I extend my hand into the breeze as I pass them, I will smile a little more. Maybe their just mistaken about who is a "breed apart."

[rallitaja]

Rallitaja läheb vist varsti maanteed mõõtma, loodan et pole üksi!

Tallinn-Tartu mnt-l ka ikka rattureid silmatud, kuigi ise istusin autos parempoolsel istmel. Ei olegi sel sügisel erilist numbrit bikereid silmanud, kas viga on minu marsuudivalikus või milles? Vahest pajusi poolt põltsamaale tanklasse ikka keegi tuleb. Niimõnigi on mind näinud pisikest endurokat lükkamas (kooner ei täida paaki)...

[ishijupp]

Täna tuli üks enduro Tallinnas Sõle tn kandis vastu, rohkem pole eriti märganud, v.a. üks tõeline hunt, kes põristas Hiiul ringi keset kõige kangemat lumetormi

[Makz]

Eile oli päris sürr Tlnas sõita. Lumevaalud kõnniteedel aga asfalt täitsa puhas. Nõmme kanti ei soovita minna, raudtee ääres uputas kõvasti.

[FleXer]

Käisin täna Laagrist, Männikule tsikliga, tegelikult on hetkel juba ilm täitsa sõidetav vähemasti enduuroga.

[Villem]

Whoaa, keegi optimist tuli täna Tõrma ligidal kollase Gixxeriga vastu (/me oli teel liberajale )

[gabriel]

Whoaa, keegi optimist tuli täna Tõrma ligidal kollase Gixxeriga vastu (/me oli teel liberajale )

see olin mina
ei saand jätta juhust kasutamata, et teed veel korra ilma lumeta olid.
nüüd on ratas juba kevade ootel.
hea oli sõita, tegin u. 70-80 km ringi, väga hull ei olnud, käed hakkasid tagasi kodu poole sõites aint külmetama.

[Kaszpar]

Nägin ka viie paiku üht tsiklimeest, tuli Vääna-Jõesuu poolt ja keeras Tabasalu juurest ära. Ise käisin täna oma kullakest silitmas. Unistan kevadest ja suvest juba (ei ole julgust ja isu sellise ilmaga eriti sõitma minna lihtsalt).

[kana]

Eile nägin pärast tööd ka üht vaprat Yamahaga Narva mnt alguses Foorumi juurest söitvat

To vintisvint: köietrikk on ääretult vastik ja alatu. Jooksin kunagi Tallinna linnas kuskile (mitte metsarajal), ei pannud kahe puu vahele pingutatud peenikest nööri tähele. Käisin selili nagu mäda käbi, kuklaga vastu maad, täitsa uimaseks. Sel viisil ei oska üldse kukkumiseks reageerida, käib nii äkki.

[suzepe]

Praegu saab liikuda küll,liigun ise ka.Hommegi plaanis tööle minna,kuid peab ikkagi ettevaatlik olema.Muidu pole hullu,ainult teed kohati nii sitased,et igal õhtul peab ratast pesema.

[reimps]

Ma ei näinud täna MITTE ÜHTEGI teist kaherattalist

Ei Lasnamäel, kesklinnas ega Mustamäel. Aga tipptund ei morjendanud jälle

[mõmm]

Jube vaikne siin.
Käisin täna garaažis armukest (loe ratas) silitamas ja sõita tahaks. See globaalne soenemine ka kiiremini ei tule .

[Dock]

Ma panin paar nädalat tagasi tsikli katte alla peitu, et oma "tsikliiha" natukenegi vähemaks saada!
Kuna hoian teda tööjuures tsehhis, siis olin sunnitud iga jummala päev tead vaatama ja katsuma.
Tuleks kevad juba kiiremini ...

[reimps]

Jube vaikne siin.

13. jaanuaril sõitsin mina ühe paraja otsa, lausa kümmekond kilomeetrit. Vähemalt ristikese sain kirja selle aasta peale
Aga jube märg ja sellepärast ka veidi libe oli, muidu oli soe (miski +3?).

[MarekM]

täna kose kandis nähtud üksik siklimees suurema endurokaga tekitas küll "vohh" tunde ja pöial tõusis iseenesest püsti. väga mõnus. kevad läheneb

[mart211]

Ma nägin täna valget Honda enduurot kesklinnas sõitmas, andsin ka ikka teed. Tegi südame sööjaks kohe.

[kotk]

Käisin ka jaanuari keskel paaril päeval sõitmas,kui oli +5 ja asfalt isegi kuivapoolne.Nüüd plaaniks minna 6-8 märtsil Kiisal toimuvale EMMK Estonian Winterile ikka tsikliga,kui ilm vähegi lubab

[Siller]

Ega seal Tallinnas liigeldes nalja pole. Tee paistab välja kuiv, tegelt on päris jäine.
Nii et ettevaatust.

[mart211]

Seepärast ma mõtlesingi, et peab ikka julgust olema. Ise sai ka aastavahetusel koduküla vahel sõidetud suht lumega, kuid linnas ikka ei paugutaks

[K2bi]

to kotk

eelmine aasta EMMK talvekale minnes oli reedel vihmane. pühapäeva hommikuks sadas 10cm lund maha .

mäletan ka sellist korda kui reedel minnes oli pluss 5 j alaupäeva hommikul oli miinus 23
vähemalt oli meil löbus nagu alati

[kotk]

Aga oluline ongi kohalejõudmine just tsikliga,et siis paar päeva rahulikult lauataga õlut juua ja ära minekut saab ju alati kuidagi kombineerida

[Regula]

Ühtsama isendit (rollerit) olen näinud 3 korda, ja seda siis ainukeseks kaherattaliseks terve talve jooksul. Tallinnas. See talv on vähe külmem ka, aga ma mäletan et eelmine talv ikka talvläbi aeg-ajalt liikus keegi

[Kaszpar]

Eelmine reede või neljapäev nägin TTÜ juures üht rollerit ja tundus, et naine oli lenksu taga.
Lisaks detsembris jäi silmade ette üks enduromees Kristiine keskuse juures.

Oeh jah julged Saaks juba sõitma, niigi lühike suvi tuleb sõjaväe pärast :/
