Motorcycle travel series by @velimir 'Rijeka 4' (Part #131)
A dangerous but beautiful narrow road consisting of many curves takes me further. I hear, almost feel, the wild engine's sound. Sometimes, I pull the clutch lever and the roar subsides to minimal, letting the sound of the wind take its place. I inhale a deep breath, relaxing all of my muscles with the exhale. A relaxed body brings a relaxed mind, and vice versa. This is so important for riding a motorcycle on the long routes. In a few moments, I release the clutch lever and the sound is back, and so is the full control over the bike. You can do this only in the open stretches of the road.
A lake opens before me. A gentle breeze touches its surface as I park and sit by the water. The water is very clean and full of life. Some guys are fishing but are too far to be photographed. There is a restaurant nearby serving fresh trout but I'm not hungry, yet.
The left, shallow side of the lake is covered with a blanket of weeds. A proof of natural life. Dead waters have no life on the surface. Nothing is more gratifying than having clean nature all around.
The road is much straighter and I can ride faster. However, there is no hurry. I'd rather drive slowly so I can shift my attention to the scenery.
One more stop. The bike photo-session. Funny how some of you guys always want to see the bike here. I will soon go to my buddy's bike workshop and write some custom motorcycle reviews for you guys. The winter is coming! :D
Enjoy your day! :)

I didn't ride that old road for several years by now. As always, being in some hurry I take the highway now.
But I recall one time before the highway was built when I was also in a hurry for some meeting in Rijeka, I drove that road crazy fast. So fast, that I couldn't believe myself the actual time when I arrived in Rijeka. At first, I thought my watch stopped working, but it wasn't the case.
However, I knew if I tell that to anyone they would think I'm lying. I don't know was it that particular day or time of the day so the traffic was maybe lower although the road was not empty, but it was crazy. And I was definitively lucky not to be caught by traffic police! 😜
Nice article and beautiful photos too
