Thanks to Cam for taking the photo.

At the bike shop this morning…

Assistant: Yeah, the new Ninja’s pretty popular.

Rog: This the first time the 250’s gone on sale in Japan, right?

A: Right. Look at this.

Grabs a fistful of recent orders from the drawer behind him.

A: … Ninja in black, Ninja, Ninja… Ninja in green, black again… Five people in two days.

R: Wait, out of five bikes four are black and only one’s green?

A: Yeah. Weird, huh.

Weird? It’s madness, I tell you.

Ah well. I heartily recommend SCS on Hakusan-dori to anyone in Tokyo, just because they threw in the pillion seat cover and a year’s breakdown service for the low, low price of free.

Incidentally, they once had a visit from Orlando Bloom, who bought a bike for export back to London. The guy dealing with my bike, Masaru, is front left in the first photo.

No, not the Pirates of the Carribbean cover.
