    Being in Japan I get a few opportunities to do things most will only be able to read about in their favorite Motorcycle rags. I can't write that well, so pictures will have to be worth a 1000 words, apiece. Fifty thousand to be exact. If you have any questions I'll do my best to answer. Be sure to ogle over the very sexy Aprilia V4, and the tastefully themed Gundam bike. Sorry, no juicy VFR details or parts. I don't speak Nihongo. And I apparently don't speak photographer either because my camera took some blurry pictures. Hopefully you will enjoy the pics anyways. Price of admission was 15 dollars for those wondering. I was only able to go on Friday so any thing of consequence didn't happen while I was there, Saturday would have been the best.
    As for the other cool opportunities, well, I'll have to make sure to give a better report on Twin Ring Motegi Moto GP round 2. For the third time. From the VIP seats. Oh the pics- right! here you go:

    After posting I thought the count was a little low, so I went back and found that Photo Bucket only loaded 50 of the pics I had, so the others are loading now.....

    looked pretty neat. I wish I caould have seen that aprilia in person. I know i'll probably never have one, but I still like looking at them. I thought the little tricked out ruckus was pretty cool, too. I'd cruise that through town... I also liked the baby NR. hell I'd ride it just for the hell of it..

    Thanks for sharing all the pictures. I picked up a Japanese motorcycle magazine recently and it's interesting to see the popularity of the naked bikes. I've seen that CB400 before and it would be perfect starter bike for the wife. Too bad they don't sell them here. I also enjoyed the VFR police bike, cross section of the V-Max, the old retro cafe racer types that they've subtly modernized, and of course the Gundam bike! That new R1 is looking pretty sweet too, but I'm not even going there.
