Well, as i said before went dead the machine went two times strange way in a 1 km distance (having a full throttle and for a moment it made a twitch, like i would let down the throttle and machine would make a brake, but really in a moment, it was strong as it moved me towards the handle bar), later (after 1 km) i came to a crossroad, i was braking but during that the bike went dead. I pulled over, i got it to neutral, tried to make it start - nothing, because of the sun i couldn't really see if the light on neutral is on. I put the bike in the shade, tried to make it start, but the light on neutral hasn't been lit and the bike didn't say nothing. I called mechanic, which told me to check battery, fuses... After that (10 minutes) i tried again, the neutral light was blinking and around fuses there was a squikky sound when trying to start the bike (battery down i guess). Changed the fuses, even though they were both good - i prosume i have a spare fuse beside the fuse. When mechanic came, we made all the inspection from above again and he said we will try to make it start with cables. The bike came alive insantly and he said that whether the battery is crap or regulator-rectifier went down, since the lights i had them on during the ride have used all the juice in the battery, since rectifier wasn't making his job to provide juice to battery. I was riding without lights, to spare the juice. There was no cops, thanks god, or bad traffic.
At the shop he tested the battery with a tester while the bike was running, and the battery was fine. I turned of the bike and i was able to start it with no problem. He said that it must be rectifier. He told me to go home, take out the battery and bring it to him to fill it up and wait till the rectifier comes...

I hate bad electrics too, today some folks i was talking to them, told me that on smaller engines (till 500ccm), electrics can be PITA, so I should get use to it... F...!

Thank you for responses, past and future!

ps: is it possible that somewhere the ground electrics has a bad contact or something?
