behind the scene

one of our friends, #51 drove back from fujispeedway, came to zero shop around 9:30pm. he was running the bike at fuji earlier on saturday, when he heard unpleasant sounds.

we (there were enough hands so i was just watching) managed to disassemble the transmission and replaced all damaged gears, cleaned and re-assembled back before the clock turned to sunday.


we got to our paddock on sunday morning. there were some early birds. team hotdock at their usual spot. only harley-davidson xr besides mine... xr750



this xlcr-look-alike racer joined us first time. it retired during the morning time attack but it was a cool looking bike. hope to see him next round at tsukuba.

force

just one of thousands sights where tsunami walked through.
i went to iwate to look for a friend. the force we are fighting agaist is unimaginable to me. people can study and calculate the "force" and put it into a figure, i suppose, but the figure will mean nothing to understand the force. it looks like i am standing on safe place but i wonldnt be on that day. the tsunami reached about 5m above where i was standing.
