So the good old board is back to par, but still a bit on the slow side. Thank you whoever corrected it.
Actually I liked the write-up for even though I do not travel out of Cdn I am still interested in the culture of different countries, to things being different is a MUST, to the less costly places one might be able to stay, where you put your boots, to the basic line of bikes being in the large metic cruisers, which happens to be so in this centeral part of the Cdn Rockie Mtns, when it is ideal for sportbikes.
Mind you the cost of food & especally beef is pretty darn steep. Fish, fortunately is not, but no mention of chickens or other firms of fowl so I wondered.
Sure he dwelled on the toilets, but it was a bit of an eye-opener as there are some good public washrooms in the middle of some streets in other parts of Europe & in Vancouver, B.C., Cdn., they are experimenting on an exposed one of the males, believe the mass is three at the time but could be four, doing their bit of watering this tree with the back of the boots, legs, to shoulders & heads exposed. Now the females want something the same & as a male I can see this as being-----so different since women have to haul down their slack to undies or up their skirts/dresses (to some with a slip) to haul down said undies & face the public(????) as women would. Interesting point I feel, for Jpn has a somewhat better set-up.
I can remember, way, way back when some American chaps on HD irons travelled across to China & so many other places to even up from the bottom of South Africa to the north Africa, into Europe & what they had to go through like bribes to the guards (in Africa & middle east), to suggestions from the guards that they had best have their hair cut & beards shaved when comming to the next country. I believe it took 3 or four parts in an American m/c mag & all of us felt it was intersting to educational.
Remember all the others on the road are crazy & out to kill you.Post Edited (Smitty) : 2/6/2008 10:51:17 PM GMT | | Back to Top | | |

It's like he doesn't bother to transcribe his notes into a real story. I'll echo my comment from his last piece, "Is there an editor in the house?" | | Back to Top | | |

Frazier is printed elsewhere, has written multiples books and articles for years now. We wouldn't stick it on our site if we didnt think it was up to publishing standards. I guess I'm not sure what you two are expecting, but it must be some pretty amazing stuff. | | Back to Top | | |

Not as much as the others so far but the fact that these are 1-2 page quick snapshots i'm not expecting extreme detail but instead a quick summary put in way that paints a unique perspective.
Good Riding, Q | | Back to Top | | |

Found this blog about riding in Japan thats looks good "Motorcycle Japan Blog", htpp://ww.bikejapan.blogspot.com.
I would love to go and check it out for my self, has anyone else ridden in Japan? | | Back to Top | | |
