I would like to explain the throttle work at the end of H2 of the JAGE cup the other day because it is interesting. This is a video that shows you what to do when you open too much and slide too much in the attack state where you want to accelerate even one step. […]

I don’t think I ever had the talent to ride a bike. However, I love motorcycles more than anyone else, I love riding, and I’m about to turn 60 now. When I was around 20 years old, I was running on a mountain pass, and I thought I was good at it. . However, in […]

This is a continuation of the previous one, but in the first heat, I twisted the accelerator past the point where I thought I would lose the grip of the tires, so the bike didn't move forward well, and the change in posture caused a big loss of time. was in a state. [embedded content] […]

It’s something I’ve written all the time, and it’s a duplicate. .. Gymkhana now costs a lot of money. .. Tires that cost tens of thousands of yen per set will be reduced in a blink of an eye, and the performance will decline each time heat is applied. .. It’s a tire for circuits, […]

One of the purposes of this time was to enjoy the Sanriku Coast for the first time, and to go to the site of the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami and feel it with the skin. I wake up Kuji at 4 o’clock and start running at 4:30. The first destination is Kitayamazaki, a […]

During the Golden Week holidays in May this year, my old wounds hurt and I could hardly ride a motorcycle, so I fell asleep. why? Does your ankle hurt? The problem. .. Isn’t it gout? I thought about it, but the doctor’s judgment is not gout. It was decided that it was a pseudogout that […]

I always get up at 4 o’clock and leave at 4:30. .. I wanted to say that, but I’m feeling sick from the morning. .. Doesn’t it make you feel uncomfortable rather than waking up? By the way, I’ve had a little pain in my stomach since I was watching the Tsugaru shamisen concert yesterday. […]

I’ve run out of solo touring all over Japan, but this time I went to the Shimokita Peninsula, which I hadn’t been to by motorcycle yet. A timeless pattern of finishing work on Friday and then starting the move. This time, there is 800km to the entrance of the Shimokita Peninsula, so I planned to […]

Yesterday I ran with Tomin at a collaboration practice session with SRTT. In order to build my own way from now on, I put on the Road Smart 4 on the ZRX1200R and ran while checking each one. Of course, if you run unreasonably like a high grip tire, you may slip, but if you […]

I watched the video of the JAGE Cup the other day, and everyone is fast. It’s just awesome …. in all the wrong ways. But, I was worried again. It’s a soliloquy of a gerontocracy rider on the verge of retirement, so it doesn’t matter what you think, but I think it would be nice […]

I think it was more than 20 years ago, but I made various plans while drinking with my fellow Gymkhana riders. For example, it would be interesting to have a figure 8 GP at that time, and if you could run with the same standard anywhere in Japan! I planned and created it with such […]

I worked in basketball when I was young, and since I was 27, I’ve been working hard at Gymkhana. Naturally, it was a fight against injury. At this age, when tired and burdened, it began to appear as pain in old wounds. The biggest problem is swelling and pain in the left ankle. .. You […]

It’s been 3 years since I started riding the Ninja 400. .. If you ride this much, you will understand the good and bad points of this machine. Weaknesses can also be seen. It seems that Kawasaki, which maintains a certain level of performance while reducing weight without using expensive parts or materials, seems to […]

What should we do for this year’s consecutive holidays? I was thinking about it, but I decided to go touring this morning. I have already booked only the ferry from Monji to Osaka Nanko on the 7th. .. Do you want to go around Shikoku on the premise of riding this? Do you want to […]

After the first round of the Dunlop Cup, I measured the weight of the vehicle as it was. Front 79 kg Rear 72 kg Total 151 kg The result was that. The equipment weight of the catalog data is 167 kg “Gasoline capacity 14 L Engine oil 2.3 L Cooling water 1.3 L” Maybe it […]

It was a week when I was worried about the weather, but on the day of the performance, the best environment was held in the blue sky from the morning. Round 1 feels like a presentation of what came in the off-season, for better or for worse. .. Is it in a category that I […]

Why did I continue to play Gymkhana for so long? I asked myself. First of all, I love riding motorcycles. .. Not wrong at all. .. That’s why I go touring and run on the circuit. .. I haven’t done it recently, but I also run off. Originally, Gymkhana was for the purpose of acquiring […]

I’m not good at spinning because I’ve been doing Gymkhana for a long time. .. Are you not good at it? I do not like? I think there are many ways to say it, but there is a strong sense of weakness in rotation. For about 3 years since I started Gymkhana, I didn’t even […]

Gymkhana’s life, which has prioritized running with the current model, will finally turn 60 this year. In terms of physical strength and athletic ability, I think that the limit has been exceeded long ago to compete for the top, but By acquiring solid technology, we are still fighting for the top. I would like to […]

Today was a weekday practice session, but for the first time I took down Kushitani’s racing boots K-4539 and used it. It’s not the trendy plastic boots, but the ankle area is thickly protected. The sole is also solid, giving you a sense of security. And the biggest feature of these boots is that the […]
