Yamaha Racing

Yamaha's Moto GP machine
YZR-M1 (2017)
Moto GP  was held at Twin Ring Motegi in Tochigi Prefecture from October 13 to October 15. Moto GP is the world's best motorcycle race that began in 1949. The 2017 is season held in around 14 countries around the world, and 18 races are held in total. Moto GP is divided into classes according to displacement. Among them, Moto GP (1000cc) class is the highest peak class. The maximum speed of that class is 350km/h. In this class, domestic manufacturers such as Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha participate.


It was held on the first floor of Kitte.

Yamaha held an event on October 11 at Kitte near Tokyo Station.I thought that perhaps Yamaha held an event to let people know about the charm of Moto GP. At this event, I was able to see various race motorcycles. Besides that, the talk show and VR experience and more were held at the venue. I didn't listen to the talk show, but I was very excited just watching the motorcycles.




Successive YZR500




Yamaha has achieved 500 wins this year. Yamaha began racing activities in 1955. In this event, the motorcycles that were active in the races were displayed. These motorcycles were beautiful and cool. I had never had a chance to see these machines, so I was very happy to see them in Tokyo. If possible, I would like to see these motorcycles are running .

Akina Or Haruna?

"Mizo Otoshi" Have you read "Initial D"? I'm a fan of "Initial D". It's a famous car manga. It was published in 1995. The main character is "Takumi Fujiwara" the son of a tofu shop owner. He delivers tofu every morning on the mountain road. The mountain road name is Mt. Akina. Mt. Akina often appears in "Initial D". "Takumi Fujiwara" found a new way of driving on Mt. Akina.  This is "Mizo Otoshi". It's a way of driving the inner tire in a groove and driving a corner at a high speed. He often does that skill with five consecutive hairpin turns. The Initial D course  I wanted to go to this stage and I went by my motorcycle. However, there are many mountain roads in this manga, and the name is different from reality only in this mountain road. In reality Mt. Akina is called Mt. Haruna. I don't know why it's called like this. Mt. Haruna is located in Gunma. In the manga, the prefectural  ...

Hokkaido Touring

イメージ
I went to Hokkaido by motorcycle this summer. I drove about 2000 km in 9 Days. There were many wonderful places in Hokkaido, so many riders visit Hokkaido. I wanted to visit a lot of places, but I was short of time. This time, I will introduce some wonderful places I visited.  First, I'll introduce White Seashell Road (白い貝殻の道). It's located in Wakkanai City near Soya Cape. White seashells are spread across the road. The road is beautiful and the view is very good. It's hard to find the entrance and the road is narrow, so you need to be careful while driving. Second, I'll introduce Kami no Ko Ike (神の子池). It's located in Kiyosato Town. This pond was very transparent and beautiful blue. It was very a mysterious place. However, the way to the pond is bad and you need to be careful because there are a lot of insects. Third, I'll introduce Washoichiba (和商市場). It's located in Kushiro City near Kushiro Station. A characteristic of this place is Katte ...
