2001 2nd Joint meeting With Hokkaido Branch 2001.June 23,24 by SuperDumbo(#188)

		[Zero day] 　We got on ferry leave to Tomakomai from Sendai at 20:00. Team Kando had run about 350km from Tokyo to Sendai Via Tohoku Highway.SuperDumbo worked until 17:00, and took a bath in my house and chang new clothing.(^_^ゞ
	What do they doing on the best table of the lounge in a ferry? On this touring, three specific smallness electric power radio machines (wireless incom) were prepared. It attaches and is just going to test the microphone and the speaker on the helmet. In 1st day, by mechanical mulfanction, We use not well these wireless incom. But after 2nd day, we use wireless imcom very well.
	XX of the state where it loaded into the ferry. XX carries out the tie down of both the handles, and is fixed. A handle is in straight and a side stand state. It is the same as that of the point loaded into transponder. The touring which goes by ferry too has exceptional monochrome. The "ceremony" in_which the touring of "going by ship" starts -- is it monochrome? The heart rings high.
	It is the Tomakomai arrival in the next morning 10:40. The member of MAT-B Hokkaido had picked up at the ferry wharf. From the window of a ferry, many sets are gallant, blue XX ran the other side of a quay, and I looked at. The XX has run toward a quay. And direction was changed, banking and ran along the quay this time.
,		[1st day] It lands and, first of all, meets together. The Hokkaido member is the reunion for the first time in one year. After dropping a courtesy simply, it is the first commemoration photography.
		Instantly, the high-speed route to Lake Shikotsu was fully enjoyed from Tomakomai. It is surprise suddenly at the height of the cruising speed of Hokkaido. It is a break through Molap -> Hiroshima peak -> Kimobetsu at the station of the way of Niseko. Garage S started mentenance the titanbird's chain.
	We fully enjoyed with the panorama line. We runs and goes by the pace of speed which can enjoy a scene. The Nakayama peak was enjoyed after running so that it may go around Mt.Yoteizan. There is a lane for slower traffic, So XX was running smoothly. We tooka a rest in the parking of a peak.
	SuperDumbo became hollow by XX in this Kamui tunnel in fact in '98. It is the inspection throughout a period of three years this time. The inside of a tunnel has dewed, and with a zebra, hydroplaning is caused and it falls. After coming out of a tunnel about 30m in a tunnel, I slid about 30m. It was the corner curved very well. Three years ago, while gliding, I remember having passed by the oncoming car. That was safe seems to be a miracle.
		The hotel is a hotel big No. 1 or 2 in Jyozankei. The party was held in the Hokkaido room of a special room. It is Beauty and the Beast (impoliteness!) of Hokkaido.
Shi is Kiyomi. She run very fast and beautiful form. It is the result of the coach of Mr. Sato.

	Nember of Hokkaido.
		[2nd day] For enjoying running in Hokkaido, Michinoku and Kanto menbers leave the hotel at 9:00. But only Mr. Sasaki went to Hakodate alone. Jyozankei ->(Highway) -> Yubari -> Hidaka -> Shimukappu -> Furano -> Biei -> Asahikawa We took the last commemoration photography before a start.
	We lost our way in Sapporo. We took lunch at the station of the way in Shimukappu. Mr.Gindama who get on the ferry at 19:00, with regrettable had returned towards Tomakomai here.
		We enjoyed the road from Shimukappu to Furano very much. TV drama "Kita no kuni kara" (= From Northan Country) is famous in Japan, It takes in Furano. We went to see "the Stone-house of Goro". We passed the log-house on the convenience of time. Dissatisfied voice went up from the member who knew when the log-house was also later situated in near.
	It is the Furano station. There is Train-Hotel in Frano station, for riders.
	We parted from titanbird and Mr.Shima, and We left Asahikawa. It was not able to go, although it was due to go to the Lake-Saroma in fact. It went to the house of the grandmother of SuperDumbo in Kitami city with Mr.Katsu. Kitami and Asahikawa are about 180km, 3 hours. It is the time of sunset mostly in intermediate peak Sekihoku. But is it because latitude is high? The 19:30 time of north empty is also bright. Peak Sekihoku was cold -! I dressed warmly more here.
	We arrived at Kitami around 21:00. And we met Mr.Ganjyo who rides XX lining in Kitami city. He ride a Skyline GT-R.
		[3rd day] We leave Kitami at 6:30 in the morning. It is the course of Bihoro peak -> Lake Kusharo -> Lake Mashu-> Lake Akan -> Ashoro -> Kamishihoro -> Shihoro -> Shikaoi -> Shimizu -> peak Nisho today. We had a rain in Bihoro. But it was fine soon. A photograph is the Bihoro peak around 8:00 on Sunday.
	The Bihoro peak is the best! This is the straight line road which continues to Lake Mashuu.
		This is Lake mashuu. Only for 1 time, it was fog although I coming by the car or the motorbike 5 or 6 times. And it was fine in the highest this time. The white shadow of a lake is the cloud reflected in the surface of a lake. The lake was transparent, to the bottom, was transparent and was visible. It was beautiful cobalt blue.
	In Shihoro, We jointed with titanbird again. The town in Obihiro with many cars is passed and aims at Tomakomai through Shikaoi and Shimizu exceeding peak Nisho. This is the observatory of peak Nisho. From the peak, We can look Tokachi-field and the town in Obihiro verybeautiful.
	This is the station of the way in Hidaka. For getting on the ferry at 19:00, it is already 16:00. And it still remains 100km or more. We ran to Tomakomai of the last destination at R235 from Hiratori.
	We alived Tomakomai at around 17:40. We went the rotation sushi bar "Clipper" in the other side of the Tomakomai station, I bouht sushi "the takeout". We alived ferry terminal at 18:30.When we and XX were loaded into the ferry, the ferry was left immediately for immediately after. We celebrated this safty touring in the ferry, with eating sushi and drinking beer.
