Went to a small-ish rally here in Japan (they're all pretty small compared to some of the huge events in the U.S.), about 10 minutes away from my house. Met lots of nice people and saw some pretty cool bikes.

A guy rolled up on this a about 30 minutes after me. I was impressed by his load so I snapped a couple. He's got almost 200k km on that Road King.




Old school & new.




Your typical 3-piecer in Japan. Not criminals, just 1%er fans who share an obsession and ride together on occasion.




Nice pan chop.


Don't see this kinda setup often in Japan. Come to think of it, this is the ONLY one I've ever seen.




Not my style, but slick. That open primary is pretty dope.










Pristine old tourer.


Good ol' guy from Osaka and his '81 Wide Glide.


More pimpin' on my part.






Good times! I'm going to the biggest rally in Japan in a couple weeks. It's no Sturgis at a meager 10,000 attendees, but it there should be well over 10k in attendance this year, since it's an anniversary (20th) year. I should come back with some pretty cool pics from that one. Enjoy.

Thanks for the pics. Some pretty cool bikes. I like the black shovel with the springer and the black pan with the springer.
