One week later I started to struggle
with the french homologation administration to obtain new plates. Because
this will last a while I asked Bernd to send me his german registration
plate by post. As soon I received this plate I was so on an hurry that
I assembled the side on a march rainy sunday morning.
Despite of the bad weather,
the whole family was ready for the first out run on the russian high tech
sidecar and my youngest son Honda MTX. Before the first out run I took
a lot of pics to give you all details.
My older son Boris is feeling
good on our new toys.
Wuppertal plates made me able
to ride when waiting the french one. I just pray not to be controlled by
the police. In this case I will have to persuade them that it's not my
fault but the administration one ;)
Focus on the Kiev peace of high
tech. Now we are on a small village place. The owner looks happy
and quite russian isn't ?
Françoise my wife is
enjoying as much as I do. That was the best surprise for me !
Well... the tyre pressure was
really too low. We got a flat tyre at 50 km from home : tyre had turn in
the wheel (too much powerfull this Dnepr ! ) and the tube had been cut
at the valve level. I was so on a hurry to ride the first time my Dnepr
that I did not took any tools with us. We asked to the first house we saw
and the guy was affraid he told us he had no tools at all. The second door
was opened by a very friendly guy. He opened his garage and we changed
the wheel ! Do you now what ? It was quite flat too ! The guy told us that
it was a service place at 200 meter. We thanked him very much and leaved
him. I put the 1rst gear in and walked beside the bike. Suddenly I saw
the guy just behind us with his car making us a protection with warning
blinkers :). We inflated all wheels and took the road again.
My two sons making short runs
on a parking place. Boris 25 with blue helmet and Sacha 20. Boris is planning
to buy a Suzuki 650 SV S and Sacha is riding a Honda 125 MTX that was used
for this family out run. With 15 japanese HP and two people the MTX was
quite faster than my Dnepr ! Verdammt !
I just discovered there that my left shoe was pretty oily ... I checked and discovered an oil leak coming from the left top engine ... I knew that a Dnepr will surely give me some mechanical pleasures ...
Anyway I am a very happy man
with my russian babe !
