Got out for a little touge running Friday.
650km odd and more than a little wet. But a great day with top wingmen and oodles of twisties! Cheers for the laughs Gents 👍

Kanto Twistybutt Scouting
Rolled into Ebina SA @5am to meet up with another Twistybutter only to find I was the only bike there. Over the next 1/2 hour, the bikes started rolling in.
With a coffee down and the sky lit, we scooted across the carpark to top off the tanks before setting out. I’d fueled up the car the day before at my local for 122yen/litre. Ebina SS with its great service was making us pay for it, 145yen/litre!
(more…)24hrs of Roads, Mates and Rounding Rubber
500kms of great weather with two of my best wingmen, one a hammer swinger and the other reads a book at gas stations!
(more…)Arimine – May 28/9, 2016
Busted out for 24hrs of riding, eating, yabbering, riding and more riding with 2 great wingmen JamesK and MTMatt. Cheers fellas!
(more…)Summer Sunday Sunrise Rides… Oh yeah!
Hit the road at 4:30 and sailed down the coast along the Seisho bypass with a brightening sky out over Sagami Bay. Climbed into the hills up the super green summer orchard roads.
(more…)An Invincible FJR, the Relentless Rider and the Yamaha Factory Tour!
Not often a bike rolls over 200,000miles (320,000kilometres). Even rarer for all that riding to be under one rider. Similarly rare is a visit to the production line that pumped out the bike, especially when it’s a Yamaha FJR!
(more…)On the Hunt for Snow
The sky was blue and after a coast run with a sprinkle of snow, we headed inland and found more snow.

Dec. 2012
Well, where to start?
Where can you tour in December? No…Where does one want to tour in December? Mmm,… Where does someone like JamesK go touring in December? Better but… Where shouldn’t one go touring in December? Yep, that’ll about do it!
Nightride-Heating-Deer-Views
Last minute, got fired up after an odd day at work and decided on a night run. Ended up hitting the road alone at 9:30pm.
Being chilly out with winter creeping in and sub 10°C showing for the hills, decided to don some heat. Yep, time to drag the Powerlet heated liner and gloves out of summer hibernation. Dig how easy this gear is. No maintenance and always ready.
