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). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s Ride Log<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>

I probably passed by here before.
Yamadori Coffee<\/a><\/strong>is 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ate lunch at the factory, so I just had coffee. <\/span><\/strong>
It’s a nice spot even for a quick test ride.
Next time I want to try the hamburger! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parking lot is dirt, so heavy bikes need to be careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a weekday privilege of living on the outer coast. A peaceful space, very nice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Took a photo of my own bike. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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… <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t

Maintenance Ride with my Kawasaki GPZ550 to “Cafe Club BIG ONE”.<\/span><\/div>
\n

Purpose:<\/strong> Took my vintage GPZ550 out for a short ride to keep the engine in good condition. Destination:<\/strong> Cafe Club BIG ONE<\/strong> in Otaki, Chiba. It’s a famous spot for motorcyclists. Lunch:<\/strong> Enjoyed their signature burger. Great food, great atmosphere, and a perfect short trip to charge the battery (and my soul).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
