So he can do bar spins ? Just a guess.

I love how they can just lock their bikes up to plastic drainpipes, when build was there he saw a nagasawa that was tied to a post with a shoe lace! haha

I saw a 6-pack of beer sitting on a vending machine, untouched. That sort of shit would never happen in Oz or the UK.
The vending machine beer itself was mental. They'd be empty in 2min across Oz with not a sober 14yo in sight! :)

haha ...yeah ...i pretty much left a full bag of food and beer with my digital camera inside hanging from my unlocked bike for an hour in a fairly busy area without anything being chored.

they are a very trusting nation!

wish the uk was like that

Only one bike with drop handlebars... tut tut tut.

whats with the japanese and they're back brakes???

I dropped my passport in the street there on a busy Sunday afternoon. Didn't realise till the next day when I needed it so went to the embassy to try to sort it out, was going to take 10 days to get a new one and would cancel my old one straight away. This was a big problem for me as I was going to Kazakhstan in 9 days and needed the visa that was in my passport that had taken 5 weeks to get. Basically someone in the queue in the embassy advised me to do nothing and hope someone hands it in as there very honest there. Waited 3 days and went back to the embassy and it had been handed into the police!

Also saw a 3rensho with a mini u lock balanced on the seat at the side of the road.

this makes me want to go to tokyo so much, at least visit of not to live

clamp on, easier to fit than ugly front clamp on

thanks, glow, had me wondering

flickwg to be honest i saw a more nice bikes in Osaka.. maybe just because its a little smaller, great store stocking njs products and other bits and bobs there aswell ..called 'dept' i think

cool pics.

the brake lever on the top tube is interesting!

Very nice and so true about Japan being relatively crime free. My ex-wife is Japanese so went over there quite a few times but years ago. Tokyo is tops as is Kyoto, if anyone gets the chance to go take it. Where in Japan were you?

I was in Tokyo Osaka and Kyoto ... all great , unique places in there own ways...
