Friday morning, half past seven. I wake up and hear the birds singing again.
I make a cup of coffee and some breakfast and open the windows to let the
fresh forrest air in.
Ready to leave
It's a beautifull morning. After breakfast I get a shower, brush my teeth
and then I pack my things back in the panniers of the bike.
I lock the house, put on my helmet and gloves and before nine o'clock I'm on
the road again.
First I drive to Ommen, past the market square and across the bridge, on to the
N347 to Nijverdal. It is a beautifull road with farms and forrest, wide views and
green fields, with sometimes a small river cutting through the fields.
Green fields surrounded by forrest
Past Nijverdal, Rijssen and Markelo I drive to Lochem. Then I get on the N312
to Ruurlo and the N315 to Zelhem. The scenery is great. So wide with no big
city buildings on the horizon. It's is very quiet on the road. Lucky for me
because a traffic jam would be a problem with my broken cooling system.
I go to Zelhem because I now a good motorcycle shop there,
Motoport Zelhem. Because I have
a big change on traffic jams on my way home, I want my cooling systems fixed
now. Just before eleven o'clock I park the bike in front of Motoport Zelhem.

I walk to the workshop and when I explain my problem to the chief mechanic, He
promisses to help me. I get a coffee and after a while one of the mechanics
starts working on the bike. The disadvantage of a GoldWing is obvious now. You
have to remove a lot of plastic before you can work on the bike :-( but after
some work the test done by the mechanic show that the fan is OK but the switch
to start it does not work. I'm lucky because they have one in stock so after
less than an hour the bike is running fine again and after paying the bill I'm
on the road again, thanks to the great guys from Motoport Zelhem.
