The first truly ride worthy weather of the year and a pack of us rode to Kyoto on the back winding roads. We pulled into a parking lot filled with Japanese raccoons, ( Tanuki ) statues ranging in size from tiny to over 10 meters tall! This pudgy little guy caught my eye right away!
The beauty of having a motorbike is being able to go to places not as accessible by public transport. Our guide for the day was a seasoned rider, and all 4 of us had just had spring maintenance done with new tires, so we were feeling ready to ride as hard as our skill level allowed!
Bonus pic of lunch after! 12 dollars for an all you can eat yakiniku lunch. Help yourself style to all kinds of beef, chicken, pork, veggies, desserts, fried chicken and salads! Amazing.
Anyone else on here ride a motorcycle in Japan? Maybe we can go on a tour somewhere!?
