The hams plan to ride in japan.

Welllllllllllll.....

Today we officially ended this completely insane stupid awesome fucking life changing experience..

Grabbing the bags from Brian's house early in the morning ( his cat squeaky needed a vet visit) we slogged the Tokyo rail system there and back before loading the sled into @Oddjob s bike bag and going back to the hotel with a smile.....

We then hit up Kawasaki for some browsing and wandering....

Brian and his wife then put on an amazing dinner for the fat fook before we go back....

And then we ran into a small problem of a 'fatal incident' that delayed the train for a bit.....

But, it's a few hours before we go back to our lovely wife, lizards and ..... Reality.


Thank you all for taking the time to read, comment and hopefully enjoy this.... Experience


There will be more, that we can promise. Might not be in Japan, but the .... Experience will set forth new paths.

P.s. @pink poodle we got a pamphlet for fujimi panorama... Send me a pm and I'll mail it to you.

Thanks for sharing @Spanky_Ham - I've never been hugely interested in going to Japan for some reason but it's been a good read and a good laugh, and sounds like it was an awesome trip. Also, sorry if I missed this somewhere, but hope your mate's recovery is going ok too

Thanks mate, it was an absolutely amazing trip... and we lost some weight, gained some insight into ourselves... and have reset the "What is possible" limit in the pigs brain.... and wifey has already asked where we will go cycle camping next (woo-fn-hoo!). Having returned to the lab for a few days, really finding it hard to get stressed... maybe, just maybe a new way of dealing with life has been forged.

Mates recovery is going slowly but well, the day the fat one sat on his arse for 9 hours in a plane on the way home, my mate came out of hospital and immediately got a butter chicken curry down his newly formed throat.... He still has a long way to go, with an impending date with some radiation and still a long recovery. But to be home with family and his favourite curry seems to have pepped him up. I also know a number of the Tokyo Half Fast cycling crew have been round to his house for support.

As for Japan, I know lots who love it, some who really don't get it..... and ourselves who, well, like it ... and enjoy the differences to western culture, but having lived there for 9 years.... there's some really f*cked up sh^t (as with any culture or country) that many over look.....

Glad his recovery is coming along mate.

There're a couple of places I wouldn't mind visiting in Japan and it'd be cool to experience the culture, but i dont know that I'd do a special trip just to go there. Kinda like the US for me - if I was in Canada or South America (would love to do Peru and Chile) I'd think about doing a couple of days there to go to say Yosemite or New Orleans (for example) but I probably wouldn't jump on a plane with the specific purpose of going there...

We know some that have done that ride, looks fun, but way to organised for us.....
