Mit meiner Italienischen Biene (Ape 50) nach Friedberg/Hessen (19. Feb 2024)

Hello everyone. Today I’m taking a leisurely drive with Bee to Friedberg/Hesse . Very slowly, without hectic, without stress. A comfortable ride. I have time today. I have to do my caretaker job. There isn’t much traffic on the roads today, so driving is really fun. No matter what happens, I will drive slowly.

Bee takes a big turn. Lol. Speed ​​about 25 KM/H (15.5 MP/H.) I could go a little faster, but why would I do that??? My grandfather always said: you know, boy, anyone can drive fast. Driving slowly is an art! And I completely agree with him. I don’t like driving fast. If you drive slowly, you will reach your destination. My side window also rattles a bit. A new seal also needs to be put in there. A new front wheel will be installed next week. The old one is already very worn out.

Is not that expensive. Tires with tube and rim are available on Amazon for just €70 (USD 75.37). Traffic is backing up behind me. Lol. I order a sticker for my bee: “Traffic jams are only bad at the back. It’s ok at the front” Lol. Or: “This traffic jam is caused by Piaggio” Lol.

I roll along in fourth gear. Whether the traffic light is green or not. I don’t care at all. I have time! The strenght is to be found in serenity! Ok, let’s use third gear. And roll comfortably again in fourth gear. Immediately go back into third gear for the curve.

Starting off in third gear. No problem for bees. I definitely need to change the front wheel. it hops a bit. I don’t like driving like that. Could be dangerous. This also puts a lot of strain on the wheel suspension. If I hadn’t had to go to Friedberg today,

I wouldn’t have gone with Bienschen in the first place. I drive slower, then the bike isn’t a big problem. Now it’s steep up the mountain. What gear are we going up in? Ok, we’re going up the mountain in third gear. No problem. I don’t need more than third and fourth gear.

Just roll comfortably across the street. The traffic light is red. I have to wait. Never mind, I have to turn now anyway. The trafficlight is green. The journey continues. Slowly down the mountain. Is this a one-way street? Can I drive here??? Doesn’t matter. I’ll just drive. And now I park in the back yard. Is safer. The first goal has been achieved. Later I drive back to Bad Nauheim. The work is done. Now I’m going back to Bad Nauheim.

A hit on the front wheel! What was that? I stop at the next large parking lot and look for the bike. Maybe I just drove over a large stone. I’d better do a check. Car drivers drive without paying any attention to smaller vehicles. I don’t really like traveling with bees in Friedberg.

It is dangerous. The turn would be done. Now go to the parking lot and look for the bike! I should also check the rear wheel bearings. They may also need to be replaced. I carry out repairs on the bee myself. You never stop learning. And fourth gear again.

Ok, I’ll shift into third gear. Everything OK. The front wheel is ok. And now comfortably back to Bad Nauheim. I am very happy that I bought the bee. Driving with her is a lot of fun. A company vehicle with a fun factor. I should slow down a bit. Speed ​​in fourth gear again 25KM/H (15.5 MPH). The front wheel definitely needs to be changed. The driving behavior is not good. And I roll comfortably in fourth gear. UUUOopsss. I am getting faster! BRAKES!!! I don’t know how fast Bee can drive. Bienchen is 33 years old and if the engine

Is well broken in, which it is, she can probably do 40 KH/H (24.9 MPH). But I don’t have to drive that fast. We arrived back in Bad Nauheim. First brake and then continue in third gear. And roll again in fourth gear. Almost missed the departure. Lol. And comfortable in third gear.

What purposes does the first and second courses serve? I don’t know it! It looks like it’s going to rain soon. Never mind. I’m sitting in the dry. A ride with bees is still coming up. What the hell??? I sing??? Lol. Bees are clattering everywhere. This time third gear was not a good choice.

And we continue into the city center. Slowly over the bollards. Now I’ll use second gear. Excellent! Slow-moving traffic. That’s why I try to avoid the city center. Now I’m standing here. It doesn’t go any further. What do you want, you idiot??? Honking is the new fashion. Nice. I was let in. End of the trip. Goal achieved.

Eine kleine Spazierfahrt.
