Title: Time Travel in Japan
Post by: DRxBMW on August 13, 2012, 08:56:05 PM
My bags are finally packed and I'm off to the land of the riding sun come tomorrow morning for 24 days. 

I'll be blogging when possible. http://supergrider.blogspot.com/ (http://supergrider.blogspot.com/)

man o man, packing & airport schedules are a friggin hassle. Frustrated confirming a hotel reservation this afternoon at the Philadelphia airport

Royal pain in the ass fitting motorcycle gear into a suitcase, especially the helmet, I can barely zip the damn thing. Prayer to the BMW K Gods,that my cheap scale is correct.

Minami Alps/Chubu region this time around with some dual sport ADV terrain thrown in for good measure.

Below links are excellent if you bricKheads would like to explore Japan via computer.

Looks like a lot of fun. I've been to japan twice, and would love to ride there.

If you get the chance, spend some time in the Hakone area. Probably my favorite place in the world, and I've been to a lot of places. Great motorcycle roads as well.
