Time had past...

It's been over 4yrs since I visited my friend in Iwate first time after the Tsunami in 2011.
ブログの更新が2年以上も空いてしまいました。時間の経過は速いけど、時間だけが過ぎていく気がしてならない。

2 photos taken from same spot but over 4yrs apart.  I saw many changes since 2011 and yet there are many towns and cities still working very hard to get their life back to normal.
My friend is still living in a temporary house which originally planned to accomodate 2yrs.  There's maybe "PRIORITY" however I cannot see how Tokyo Olympic can be more imprtant than any recovery works in the north and Fukushima.
今回は4年前と同じ場所で写真を撮ってみました。石巻から南三陸を抜けて、大船渡でキャンプして、大槌の友人と会い、山田町で一緒に食事して。いろんなところで盛り土が進んで、少しずつ変化はしてるけど、まだまだ長い時間が必要だと、改めて思う東北ドライブでした。
大船渡のキャンプ場にあった仮設中学校は、いつになったらちゃんとした校舎に移るのかなぁ。

年に一度のドライブ。東北を楽しむ旅は、また来年。

thought maybe it is too flashy...



even after i got the xr1000 in 1999, it has done 50,000mils. none of my friends had noticed that xr1000 has such unique point cover design because... it looked like that (on left).

now the new point cover is installed. it looks all right, doesn't it?

new year's resolution

i stopped posting... about 6month ago with no particular reason. maybe because my xr1000 is still in one piece after 7 races since 2011, so i have not much to report here.
anyway, i realized that this blog is a really good archive and i can find out when i changed the rockerarms, or valves, or pistons...

Now, this is my new year's resolution for 2013:
 
facing the first sunrise on the new year's day and said "i will try to post more things here at "everything but teaching"!!!

visited Toyokawa Inari again...

after a big day

we got back from Tsukuba around 11:00pm sunday night. it was a disaster in result-wise but was a good for racing.my xr1000 stands alone on zero shop floor, soundless.
