Default Dam Ride
Today was the first real outing on the scoot here in Japan. Me and a bud rode up to the Ogouchi Dam in the Western Tama area. It was a nice little ride only about 60mi round trip but most of it is slow mountain twisties. It started out sunny and 45F but clouded up as we went up the mountain. Here are some pics.

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing. Could you translate the plaque? My Kanji is a little rusty.

I'm gonna take the plaque pic into my wifes office and see if someone will translate for me. I speak about three words and read less.

Out of curiosity what is the average price for a Harley in Japan?
