***************************
Last weekend I decided to go to the Bike Festival which it is located near Tokyo (Saitama Prefecture); it is the 10th time and its last. The reason is lack of space to do it and local complains from city official. It was a two days event, mainly Harley Davidson's riders. Here are some pictures.

1st day down. How do you like my reflective job? If people cannot see me, you should not be driving.

Image
I stay at annex location. The main location is full. Bad location for allergy!!!

Image
If there are more room, kitchen sink would be on the bike.

Image
Have to dress up to match the bike's color. The white van is belonged to her husband.

That is all I have the two red ones; they are 1941 or 1942 models. Japanese love old bike than new bike. However, I got these two custom bike. Both of them display on centerfold "Vibes Magazine".

The cherry blossoms are fantastic. Interesting collection of bikes too. Your R1150R looks quite practical by comparison. :)
