Riding Mount Koya and beyond
Never before have I ridden such an incredible selection of roads on my motorcycle. Turn after turn....
Met up with the nicest group of gaijin riders in Osaka (KansaiRiders). And they took me on the tour of my life.Beautiful scenery through fast valleyside sweepers to no-lane switchbacks up and down misty Mount Koya.
The joys of narrow, tightly winding goat tracks through remote forests.
A pack of bikes roaring through tunnel after tunnel of unfinished walls.
Discovering rural towns that are still a part of history.
Leaning for eternity through an expansive 160 degree arc that is suspended with multiple bridges over deep valleys.
Night riding when your body aches but your mind is still in the zone.
Slabbing through Osaka and Kobe on open expressways.
No traffic. No cops. 14 hours of freedom.
I'm Alive.

Take care of yourself over there!

Thanks guys! Yah, the Honda gas tank has the same mount I think, so I'll try to take vids next time.
Hey Lark! I have the Honda NSR250 (black/red/silver/green tail) in the pic. No red tape since I got my bike at a local shop and they did all the paperwork. My International Drivers License is good for 1 year--I think for any class.
