VFR!

Yamaha had a bunch of these electric gizmos as well. They looked pretty neat.... Bit surprised to see these guys there: That one-wheel Segway type thing from Honda. Assisted walking device.

Yamaha seems to be continuing their VMax artsy stuff.... YZ450 insides.

Time for some bikes! Yamaha.... Lawrence of Arabia meets Tenere....

good question.... should be less from the exhaust at least. Not sure about the looks. Rear seat looks really high. The 'beak' look and rear mudguard are a bit too 'same-y'.

Caterham Never heard of this one before. Now Subaru, I've heard of.... :) Fancy McLaren SLR behind there somewhere.

Some of the newer ones.... Honda here. sorry about the quality, was tough getting good pics with all the funny lighting in there. little nissan. big nissan. Mazda always has cool concept cars. This isn't your mother's lexus....

I guess in lieu of the newer cars, they brought out some of the classic cars and prior "car of the years" go speed racer! Not really sure what this was all about, but here it is....

I took some time to see the last day of the Tokyo Motor Show.... The whole thing was much smaller than the 40th a couple years ago, but some neat stuff to see as always. Some of the European offerings.... Check out the fuel cell under the hood of this bad boy. (being green doesn't seem...

Anybody know how the panniers attach? Does it require a big rack like the previous model? Would be nice if it was on/off like the FJR (no rack). Maybe a bit optimistic in that I don't see a lower locking point.... not horrible, not really sure what i was expecting though.

I bought the migsel mount, since I figured it was easier to deal with the two tank screws instead of the steering stem mount. https://www.migsel.com/store/index.php?act=...mp;productId=17

Of course, the day I had to hoof it home, the weather was great. However, the cold front came through and it was COLD! Wasn't really prepared for that. Our Hero. Fuji's got snow..... the touring season is coming to a close..... -the end-

BBQ again, Part II. Ritual Kirin Cans again. Quite a big indoor grilling space. YUM!

Everyone gets home safe: Once again, the drying process began.... Minor fire hazard......

Seemed like a nice day for a ride.... The two guys on DRZs went off to find some gravel roads....leaving the rest of us to discover some great twisties.... Unfortunately, the sun didn't last long. We went up Route 29 towards Tottori, and it rained. Lots of crap on the road as well. And then it...

I'll continue the thread with the last 3 days of the campout.... Matt was there for Halloween, I couldn't get there till Nov. 1. The 3rd was a holiday in Japan, so stretched it to 3 days out. For me, this is a bit far, about 7 hours away. So a day out, ride around, day back. But always fun to...

These are quite popular here, as you would expect from a Japanese product like this. Been out for some years now. Looks like the products have been evolving, and look pretty good now. They make jackets, and vests, that I've seen people use with the air bag. I've not gone in to buy one (yet)...

Nice Matt! I just got home. You clearly got the better half of the weather over the long weekend. 7 hours out and back for me, having a full Monday to ride, it rained. A lot. Anyway, I'll put my stuff up a bit later, good pics, I see you hit Chateau de Carton pretty hard..... :)

minor hijack.... Couple questions.... 1. Why were you specifically after ECE 22-05? For the 'more safety' or to be used in Europe? 2. I believe the helmet is ECE 22-05 certified. In the US it may not say it, but assuming it is the same helmet, it is (at least UK, where I bought mine). I...

Cool. I'll be at the motor show next week.... will take some snaps.
