I ride it occasionally.
When work tasks pile up, I somehow feel reluctant to ride or even touch my own bike.
Moving helped a bit, but the volume is still substantial.
I want to work toward my ideal goal of zero stored bikes (New Year’s resolution).
Bike: Kawasaki GPZ550 (ZX550)
Purpose: A short tour to maintain engine condition and charge the battery.
Destination: Otaki Town, Chiba Prefecture “Cafe Club BIG ONE (Big One)”
Cuisine: Specialty BIG ONE Burger. The meaty patty and open location are amazing.
Bike Condition: It was the first start in a while, but the engine ran perfectly in the winter air.

Hamburger BIG-ONE


I probably passed by here before.
Yamadori Coffeeis on the way. Yamadori is on a rough road, so you need to be energetic.
BIG-ONE also has some narrow one-lane sections with oncoming traffic, so caution is needed.

I ate lunch at the factory, so I just had coffee.
It’s a nice spot even for a quick test ride.
Next time I want to try the hamburger!


The parking lot is dirt, so heavy bikes need to be careful.

It’s a weekday privilege of living on the outer coast. A peaceful space, very nice.
Took a photo of my own bike.

Now that I think about it… I haven’t used my DSLR at all.
iPhone is just too convenient.
I’m thinking about buying a Nikon D800 again and using it.
Half fairings are so easy. I should have ridden the GPZ550 to that sale the other day.
Oh! Heated gloves are absolutely amazing… seriously.
But I think lazy people should avoid them…
Purpose: Took my vintage GPZ550 out for a short ride to keep the engine in good condition. Destination: Cafe Club BIG ONE in Otaki, Chiba. It’s a famous spot for motorcyclists. Lunch: Enjoyed their signature burger. Great food, great atmosphere, and a perfect short trip to charge the battery (and my soul).
