Stand up, Fart, and fan away the fumes.

If your fart is louder than your pipes, you shouldride straight to the doctor.

Aside from the relative rarity of Hogs in Nihon, If you have a beard it's probably the fact that most gaijin with beards are the image of a devil in their heritage, had that problem when I was in Japan. WTF do you care anyway. Watch the traffic! Even a Daihatsu is bigger than the bike, especially if they Tbone you.

I get a chuckle when the minivan with the yuppie family pulls alongside at the light and when you look at them you see the doorlocks go down.
