That’s tough! I was earning 5M back in my mid 20s in Tokyo in the early 90s and managed to save enough to buy a new apartment back in Australia. Could buy even a hovel back there now! Hope things pick up for you

It’s all relative I guess. I don’t know how anyone can raise a family on the average 5M a year salary, but if you are single it would be still fairly comfortable most places in the country I would have thought

Real estate and rents are still pretty reasonable in Japan compared to an average Japanese salary than a lot of western countries. Not fun being poor anywhere but I’d prefer to be poor here than the US or Australia

Saw this guy with a good boy in a Ural sidecar recently. Looked like he was enjoying the ride!

Beautiful photo!

What is a smearer?

You obviously haven’t heard of the world tour the Easter Islanders did once they ran out of suitably sized boulders on the island😄

Something very meditative about staring out at grey waters and misty mountains

Methinks it sounds pretty good

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

I’m surprised he could fit saddlebags
