two motorheads...

 
 the cannonball co-rider N of jam'z garage 
arrived from japan.
we went to pick N up at the airport,
came back to the workshop,
and they already looked like this...

キャノンボールに木村氏と一緒に参加する
jam'z garageのN美氏、
レースで乗るインディアンの整備をしにアズサなう。

the back of N's shop t-shirts says
"engineering service."

jam'zのテーシャツかっこいい。

N didn't come here to fix his falcon this time. his falcon is already in his shop in japan. shinya called up and told N about the cannonball after he decided to be part of the race. he wasn't expecting N to say "yes" but asked, just in case, if N wanted to participate in the race with him. against the odds, N said "YES!!" instantly...by the way, N's got a wife and two little girls. what a brave man! N also told shinya that he didn't want to just ride the bike, he wanted to work on the bike with shinya before the race. so N will stay here for a week to work on the engine and make it running, go back to his shop in japan and work harder, then come back here for the race. great example of work hard, play hard.

 they worked on indian until it got dark outside.
after dinner, they were talking about 
the rear wheel and the brake forever, 
just like this.

外が暗くなり、夕食を終えた後もこんな感じです。
インディアンのリア・ウィール外して、ブレーキどうする? とか。

the indian now

現在のインディアンの姿、ほんとに間に合うのか?
