預備--重機開跑

二○○七年十一月一日
November 1st, 2007

早在一個月前，就看到公告了～每個週末，老公會開車載我走市民快速道，回家跟公公婆婆一起吃晚餐。就在平面道路轉快速道的入口處，看到快速道路自十一月一日起開放重型機車行駛的公告牌。超期待的呢～

It has been announced for a month~every weekend, when we drive home by Civic Blvd. to have dinner with my parents-in-low, the notice was there and announced "Heavy motorcycle with cylinder volume equal and more than 550 ml are allowed to drive on express highways". I looked forward to the day so much to experience it!!




終於到了十一月一日這一天！原本以為老公會騎機車來接我下班，特地今天早上出門時選擇著褲裝。到了傍晚，接到老公的簡訊說已經到中研院了，開心地揹了書包下樓去，咦？沒有看到川崎小綠呀！怎麼回事？才拿起手機要問老公人在哪兒，電話就響了「妳不上車，還在那邊東張西望找什麼？我就停在你正前方！」。真是令人失望～我以為今天可以很拉風的騎機車走快速道回家說。老公叫我別傻了，說是今天的市快可能會比菜市場熱鬧，不要今天去跟人家一窩蜂！想想也有道理，好吧！改天再來試試囉～

The day, November 1st, I dressed myself in pantsuit for office this morning...I thought Michael would ride his moto to take me home. When my mobile showed up the message sent by Michael and said he was nearby, I happily went downstairs and felt disappointed~I didn't see our heavy moto -- Kawasaki ZRX1200R... just Michael was there waiting for me! Well, Michael might be right. He said the Civic Blvd. must be as crowded as supermarket today. We could have a try several days later. Sure~wait for another good day, I'll have my flight on express highway!




【後記】這個週末，我們終於有了重機行駛快速道路初體驗。超刺激的呢～這時候，佩戴全罩式安全帽的必要性就明顯了。在安全無虞的情況下，高速行駛所帶來的種種噪音跟震動，讓我有一種安全帽會飛出去的錯覺（我的帽子是3/4罩，全罩式對我而言太重了，脖子有撐不住的疑慮），看來裝備有升級的必要了。

ps. We later had a ride on express highway #61 at November 3th. It was indeed a fascinating ride! Vibration and noise were accompanied with high-speed riding, I felt my moto helmet was almost blown away~ the helmet I currently use is SHOEI J-Force II. It seems I have to upgrade my equipments now ^_^
