Here is a video I made over here in Japan a couple months ago. It has taken me a while to post it but here you go. I think it cam out ok. Sorry I didnt take the time and edit it. At about the 4min mark it gets alot better. If you want to know how a Drummer "loud" sounds like this is it. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5327011762 345933986 |

That's kinda freaky watching you ride down the left side! Were you used to riding on the left when that video was shot? Reason I ask, is you can hear(via the exhaust) the rpms drop a bit when ever an oncoming vehicle popped up. Almost like you thought they were in your lane and reacted by cutting the throttle. |

Hummm, I never really thought about it but your probaly right. Thanks The roads are very narrow too. I have only ben driving on the left side about 9 months now. On the Bike about 4 months. It is funny sometime now when I watch American TV and think oh crap that guy is on the wrong side of the road.. That stretch of road was about my 3rd pass at it too. I was definetly being cautious. Once you get up a little ways its a pretty high cliff drop off. Big adjustment for me coming from the flat lands of MS. I just couldnt miss up the opportunity to try the cam out the riding out here is sick. (Message edited by sgthigg on February 06, 2008) |

Riding a Buell in Japan would be a fun way to do a rice run. Do ya get a lot of looks from the locals? Do the cabs still have the bell that rings when the driver is going to fast? |

Sgthigg, I see what you mean about the roads being narrow! I wouldn't want to have to ride them at night. Do they have deer that jump out in front of you over there like we have in the US? Or do you only have to look out for the wild pikachu ? (Message edited by saintly on February 06, 2008) |
