The RoggBlog

And she’s even prettier than I imagined.

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.

Of course, every outfit requires the appropriate accessories.
