propagandizing about the glory of SR...

our friend H stopped by so we forced him to ride the SR. he came back after a while and said "OMG, feel sooo good!"

ふらりと遊びに来たHを無理やり自慢のSRに乗せる。しばらくして戻ってきたHは、「気持ちいぃぃ!」と爽快な笑顔。よしよし。

 rode to photographer Zap's house to show off the SR. he tried on, came back after a while and said "OMG, feel sooo good!"

ついでに写真家Zップ氏の家まで押しかけて、自慢のSRを披露。ちょっと乗りに行って戻って来たZップ氏も「気持ちいいねぇぇ!」と爽快な笑顔。よしよし。

 Tetsumi Mitsuyasu is a long time friend of photographer Zap's and was japan national motocross champion in late '70s and won the world championship in 1980. he's still riding after his retirement as a professional rider in 1998. Zap and Tetsumi used to ride and practice motocross when they were teenagers... can't believe Zap was once a teenager... :)if you know him, you know what i mean.

Zップ氏の古くからの友達、モトクロスレーサーの光安鉄美氏のヘルメット。光安氏は全日本チャンピョン、世界選手権でも優勝している凄いモトクロスレーサー。もう引退したみたいだけど、今でも乗ってる姿がYoutubeにあったよ。Zップ氏がまだティーンエージャーだった頃、九州で一緒に練習していたんだって!学ラン姿のZップ・・・想像してみて。プププ

Well if the SR's that good , then you'd better leave it alone .

Or to quote David Wilcox ;

" Leave it Like It Is ... Its Fine "
