Northern Japan Mountain Roads

[gaijin]

I went up and down this mountain for years (with Harley); I decided to take some pictures this time with a Beemer, Yahoo!!!. All of these pictures are from Hokkoda Mountain Area (near city of Aomori). The weather is always unpredictable up there.



These curves are not really bad; the other side of this mountain has some sharp and steep curves (8 - 10 degrees).









This is my peace.


Memorial is for dead soldiers in the early 1900's, frozen to death during the training. Wrong forecast on the weather, unprepared for nasty winter storm (out of 50, 2 or 3 survived).

These roads are opened for summer only.

Gaijin-san... thanks for sharing. Nice looking roads. So, are the roads more fun on a BMW than they were on the Harley?

Ves,

Yes, I am more secure with the Beemer than Harley, always concern about low clearance during the sharp turns. Quick response on the throttle!!

I will post more pictures on next ride.
