My new friend had just arrived in the country. He was a freelancer and, unlike me, he didnât know the country very well and didnât know how to get free tours. So he talked me into going on a trip with him. I wasnât against it, although I was nervous about such a long ride on a motorcycle with a passenger. But in the end, I agreed.
We grabbed a couple of cameras, a drone and hit the road. Luckily, the roads in the Dominican Republic are great and there are almost no cars outside the big cities â perfect conditions for a biker like me, hahaha.
But we almost had an accident right at the exit from the parking lot of our house. A car was driving towards us on a narrow street. To let it pass, I had to ride on the very edge of the asphalt. Right behind it was a ditch and a fence â it was easy to fall into it. It seemed that everything could be overcome, until the car suddenly swerved sharply in our direction â obviously on purpose. I've seen it many times: when I was riding a bike, drivers often tried to push me off the road or brake abruptly in front of me (I still don't understand why some drivers hate cyclists so much - I wish every such driver seven years of non-stop diarrhea, hahaha!). But I kept calm, didn't jerk the wheel - and we safely passed this idiot.
The rest of the ride was smooth and calm - almost straight. We visited the beaches of Macau and Uvero Alto and stopped for lunch in small villages. The only problem was that on turns my bike leaned heavily towards the turn, and I had to make an effort to keep it on the line. It turned out that my passenger leaned towards the turn, thinking it was easier. Well, yes, but it was not. đ At one point I almost drove into a ditch because of this, but fortunately everything worked out.
Overall, the road was picturesque, easy and almost empty - it was a pleasure to drive along it! 0 reply
