Ride report from Japan - Shikoku Island

[Blue Star]

As unpredictable as my schedule and I am, I figured I can take some time off work last Wednesday afternoon. Friday 1:30 AM I was on my way to shikoku. Ride report here with LOTs of picture warning.

Hope you enjoy the pics although I am quite disappointed by how the camera (or me!) performed this time....

Nice BlueStar! Looks like the camera worked great to me. Old bridge shots are the best. Any video of those infamous twisties?

My Japanese wife and I really enjoyed the pics. Thank you.

Thanks all, glad you liked the pics.

Sorry no videos....

Hi Blue Star, brilliant photos of your unexpected little 3 day excursion a BIG thumbs up for that, plus I'd say the real icing on the cake is getting home to such enthusiastic smiles on the faces closest, nearest and dearest... to me that spoke volumes! Though I see that far off distant glint in your sons eyes. Incidentally I just had to call in a couple of my Chinese colleagues into my office (I'm not far from you geographically Blue Star - on the eastern coast of mainland China), to show them the photos of your trip, and as expected they all made comments and remarks about how clean the environment looked - something sorely missing in China I'm afraid. Not much concern for the pollution or environment for the most part here.

Dropped you a PM - hope you don't mind.

Absolutely no worries, I was just wanting to impress the colleagues with cleanliness of the surroundings over there... and the opportunity wasn't lost.

On the PM note, sent it, have checked my message center and it's showing that the PM has been sent "« Sent to: Blue Star on: Today at 12:49:59 am » "

Nice report, I was in Yokosuka in the 90's and loved every minute of it. I would go back and take my family in no time, Ropongi, Fukoka, Saesbo, Harijuku......the list goes on.

Good ride

Yes very nice pics, thanks for sharing your ride with us.

By the way, who makes the deflector on top of your windscreen. I've seen them on a couple of bikes here but can't find a manufacturer. Is it a laminar lip?

 

[Blue Star]

Koinz, its the MR Vario touring screen for S10.

Thanks, don't know how I missed all the threads about it.
