Great video. Im a huge Biku nut and this is what I most love about Japan. I have little to no interest in Anime/Manga etc. Motorbikes are common in many Japanese families and the touring is phenomenal (Mountains, Iwate, Yamagata, Hakone). There is the perception of Japan being small, however IMO .......I have so much more to see ! Hokkaido, Okinawa (2023)

Never rode much, Jerry, but I borrowed my mate's CX500 once... gave it too much acceleration and stood it on the back wheel. Scared the hell out of myself. :-D

OOH LA LA!!! Just the ticket Ed! It's -17 C here tonight. Those were Bad Boys in their day. Thick with dust, flat tyres everywhere, and a red carpet on the stairs to who knows where? In '75 I bought a DeVilbiss Spray gun, painted motorcycles at night and on weekends. Then bought a compressor and painted a bunch more. After the second winter I had saved $400.00 and bought a slightly used '77 Kawasaki KZ 400. Rode it for 12 years. In the late '80's got another bike (a '77) and rode that one until Covid. She goes up for sale in the Spring. Thanks Ed Cheers Jerry
