About LinkBacksCouldn't help it. I am over here in Japan and it's already New Years. Just came back from the neighborhood temple in a customary religious ceremony where you give offering of 100yen ($1.00 USD) and then ring a bell, get a fortune (not a cookie, this is Japan) and then be on your merry way having paved the way for a New Year of good fortune in all aspects of your life. I Sprung for an Arrow with bells attached to it (have no Idea what it means or what it's for, yet..) which is traditionally posted on display in the main gathering room of the house. If it weren't 1 degree Celcius i would have stuck around some more to mingle with the neighbors. Other than that good times and definitely a new experience.
Safe happy riding to all, and Happy New Year!!!!

how is it riding in Japan? i've heard the posted speeds are ridiculously low. funny that Japan makes some of the fastest cars and motorcycles in the world, yet ya can't even get yer bike or car out of 2-3 gear (from what i've read).
