Default Okinawa,Japan

Visiting my Daughter and Son-in-Law who are in the Marines here in Okinawa, stopped by the Harley dealership on Rt. 58 to by a couple of shirts, what a disappointment that was all shirts were small,my question to anyone,is there another dealer on the Island? We are visiting from Ohio and we have visited all the beautiful sites here on the Island. Seeing all the young men here really opens ones eyes what these men are doing for us in the States.God Bless everyone of these men and women...

Harley's website has a dealer locator. It at the top of the main page in the middle. You can select a country and go from there. WAY too many search results to post here...hope you find what you need.

Not on the Island, but if your ever in Tokyo go to "Parco HD" in Shibuya. It's a two story joint just across the street from "Tokyo Hands" craft department store.
Friendly staff, some speak English, excellent technical dept., and there you will find stuff that fits up to XL.

Say hi to Motoco (yep her real name and pronounced Mo-toe-ko) if she is still working there. She rides a twinkie Dyna decked out in US Military OD and a white star either side of the tank.
Nice bike an she's not hard to look at either....

Cheers,

Spent 6 months on the Rock - MCAS Futenma. Wonder if Genghis Khan's (Mongolian BBQ) is still down the hill near the Main Gate? Naha has some great outdoor markets. No trip would be complete without a visit to the Sea Wall and a bowl of Yakisoba.

Wish them a hearty "Semper Fi" from one Marine to another.

There is another place in Naha along what looks to be Rt. 329 called Motofreak We Lea. They deal in H-D and may or may not have what you're looking for. you can find their info here:

A number of years ago they sold Harleys at the exchange at Kadena. I have never been to Naha or anywhere much else on Okinawa. Everything got so expensive there. Something do with the exchange rates and all. I remember Pony's outside the gate at Kadena was the place to buy electronics and we would buy all we could carry, then the prices went so crazy, that it was cheaper to buy on base or at home and Pony's went out of business.
I was always wanting to ride there though. What a trip doing it on the wrong side.

Default Okinawa and prices

I was there in '72 when the island reverted back to Japanese control. Prices seemed to double overnight. Everything outside the gate, including the skivvie houses.

I was a Kadena AFB in the SAC area near the TAC squadron on the MAC side in 1972. Now, hows that for a bunch of letters? lol. We bunked in a placed called "The Zoo", it was one of the few open bay barracks on the base and had been condemned. But, since the 1st Sgt considered us a bunch of animals, they re-opened the building.

Memories.
