Anyone living/traveling in Japan?
 

Let's meet.

I am currently in the north western part of the island. Crossing to the eastern part later today to have a look at the Fukushima area and after that ride down to Tokyo. I still have half a bottle of 7-Eleven whiskey jeiger, got stories to tell and I enjoy long walks on the beach.

Hit me up, cheers.

If you are passing through the Nagano prefecture area near Karuizawa or Komoro, let me know. I am not able to have guests stay over at the moment, but I am sure I could get a friend nearby to take you in.
If you are still around in October, there is a travelers' meeting near Mt. Fuji.

Thanks for the info.

I will be in the area during the next week or so. I will let you know. I think I'll miss the meeting just by a week or two. But if I'm still here then I won't.

I'll let you know something once I head in to that direction. That venus line isn't going to ride itself.

Any tips on getting a sim card without much hassle and ¥?

You can try Softbank. I think they have a prepaid SIM service.
However, they usually require ID with a Japanese address.
If you will be in one place for a while, you can try this:
b-mobile VISITOR SIM | b-mobile wireless internet (Data only. No voice.)

Looking sharp Mr. Chris. Hope you got that oil filter. Thanks again for the petrol!

Chris, you still ride this German brand?

Don't forget that even Hondas require petrol next time!

Yes, until I can afford a new Japanese bike.
Unfortunately, many of the good Japanese dual sport bikes are NOT available in Japan.
