Default New from Japan

Canadian living in Tokyo, and a longtime rider, first Harley - came across a '98 FLHRCI with only 4300 km on the clock just as I was looking to get back in the saddle after a bikeless year. Love at first sight, even though I know at 13 years old and a lot of it sitting, there's going to be a fair number of issues to be sorted with her....

Living in Tokyo? Are there many HD's over there? I've always been curious about Japan. Beautiful bike by the way.
