Living the dream in Japan’s northern wilderness. Backcountry skiing, hiking and motorcycles. I live in a cat hotel!
Saw this guy with a good boy in a Ural sidecar recently. Looked like he was enjoying the ride!

Spent a day window shopping bikes as the weather today was atrocious. Found this 2004 GSXR1000 with 8000km on the clock. Pristine condition. How do you do just 8000km in 21 years??

Dreaming of other possibilities while getting an oil change. 2011 Tuono V4. Anyone owned one?

Did my usual loop after work last night for the first time this year. Road is clear of snow but covered in snow melt water, mud, gravel and potholes which makes for an exciting ride!

For my first mission of the year I tracked down the elusive meat pie truck in Naganuma. Road out towards Tokachi are totally dry. Nice to be on the bike again. Kind of forget what it feels like over winter

Went for a drive, purely to scope out whether it is rideable on the bike. Unfortunately still some snow and ice on the road. If I stick to heavily trafficked city roads I should be ok, so going for my first ride of the season later today. Exciting!

Still a fair bit of snow, but the gravestones are starting to poke out of the snow, so pretty much Spring!

Lake Shikotsu looking moody today. The road from Sapporo still has a wee bit of snow which will probably be gone tomorrow and the road surface is horrendous now, but still fun for going zoom zoom.

I think it is. I like this one too. I think your Thruxton would probably be the better bike to own, but aesthetically I love this style. I like the retro English thing Triumph. I actually bought a tshirt despite not being as owner

They seem such impractical bikes but I really love the style of the Triumph Bobber!

Very nice soft and deep powder at Teine today. Quite rare conditions for this time of year. Well worth driving the adventure of driving the Panda up there!

Got a loaner from Alfa while they do my shaken. Was hoping for a Giulia, but got this tiny Fiat. Not my first choice for some pretty slippery road conditions…

Tako helping with my work today, shortly before ravaging a bag of bread rolls. Offices workers get hungry too

Tako has discovered how to open doors. Tako no longer choose to be alone in his room and wants to be where the action is!

This is Tako. He’s staying with us for a month. Most cats when they arrive spend at least a day getting used to the new place, usually hiding under furniture.Not Tako! He was like, “ooh, new place, new people! Cool!”
