Default Sporty riders in Japan

I know we have a few on here. Are you guys ok?

I'm sure this site is not the first place to visit in a time like this, even if you had power.

My wife is a sporty rider! We're fine. No real damage on this part of the islands. Thanks for the words!

Good to hear. Didn't know how wide spread the damage was.

Only caught some of the video on the news while I was at work.

Dude, tsunami reaching 6 miles in?!?! Unreal! Good luck out there. Thoughts go out to Japan and other parts of the world. A colleague of mine is actually vacationing in Hawaii and was stuck in his car for most of the day trying to evacuate. Many roads are out due to water and downed trees. Scary.

After watching the footage on the news, I've decided I'm not going to complain that I still have snow :-(

Us Okinawa folks didn't have any problems. Tsunami made it here but small and at low tide.
Been watching the Japanese tv all day - they got hit hard and it's still going. Mega aftershocks, another tsunami this morning (warnings are still in effect).

just another indication that this world is changing in a HUGE way! if there is something you want to do b4 you die, DO IT! we may not be here much longer, between the wars and uprisings that seem to be happening everywhere, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami's, oil spills (i can go on) this world is headed for certain disaster. may god have mercy on us all!

thoughts and prayers to all our comrades in japan, my heart goes out to you!
