The charm of riding a motorcycle 🏍
The freedom of riding
When you ask bikers why they ride a motorcycle, most of them will answer because of the feeling they get while riding. Riding a motorcycle is a truly rewarding experience. It’s as close to total freedom as possible without being asleep and dreaming. Still, real dangers exist, but you can reduce the risks by learning some basic skills and adopting a mindset of constant improvement.
You need a few things when riding a motorcycle: protecting gear, a motorcycle and obviously the skill to operate the motorcycle.
A list of protective gear you should wear:
- Motorcycle Helmet
- Motorcycle Jacket
- Motorcycle Jeans or Pants
- Motorcycle Gloves
- Motorcycle Shoes or Boots
My motorcycle 🏍
According to me:
I love this bike because she rides very smoothly!
My bike came with 3 cases, one large one for on top and 2 smaller ones for on the sides of the bike.
During roadtrips these come in handy to store all of our stuff.
Depending on the trip I can choose wich ones I bring along.
One of my favorite kinds of trips are camping trips! Especially during this COVID-19 pandemic I have a huge craving to be outdoors in nature. What better way to get there than on my beautiful bike.
Currently I am learning how to maintain my own bike so I do not have the need for a mechanic everytime she acts up, this comes in handy during the winter months when she finds it cold outside and has trouble waking up. It is amazingly easy to maintain this bike because you can easily reach everything.
According to Wikipedia:
The Yamaha XJ600S is known as the Diversion in most parts of the world but as the Seca II in the North American and Australian markets. The XJ600S is a descendant of the XJ600 models manufactured between 1984 and 1991. It is fitted with a 598cc, air-cooled 8-valve inline-four engine producing 61 hp (45 kW)
Yamaha XJ600S 600cc Diversion models were manufactured from 1992 to 2004. US Seca IIs were manufactured from 1992 to 1998. As the Diversion/Seca II design is based on an earlier, well-matured model, changes made to the bike during these years were rather subtle, mostly concerning improvements in fairing: a second front-brake disc and small oil cooler appeared on the 1998 model along with improvements to the carburettors.
The Diversion favours an upright riding position more than most 600cc sport bikes, making it usable for commuting. It remained in production for quite a long time, probably due to its low price, modest fuel consumption, longevity and reliability.
