Tokyo Motorcycle Show 2009


Today Heather and i went to the Tokyo Motorcyle Show. It was held at the Tokyo Big Sight. It was very crowded but pretty nice as we got to shop a bit and throw a leg over a few potential candidtate street bikes for a new ride after we return home. Not so many off road machines on display but I must say that sitting on the the Husky TE250 felt about as good and as comfortable as it gets.

Golf outing at UI Golf Club









I was invited to golf last Tuesday with some friends at UI Golf Club. I have not touched my clubs in almost 3 years so I was a little nervous, I didn't play to great but did manage to have a really nice time. Afterwards the group i played with headed to a couple local izakayas for dinner, drinks and darts. Kev and I will both be playing with them next month.

Nasu Darts Tourney








Last weekend Heather and I joined some friends and traveled to Nasushiobara to play in a organized dart tournament. A first for us. It was actually a large event with about 450 participants.
Heather and I got spanked out in 6 games of 501 and cricket. The other members of our group fared a little better at least making it to the round-robin event before being put out. As this is a beer drinking event we still had a great time and met a lot of interesting individuals. We plan to hit another event before we depart Japan, and hopefully our dart game will actually show up along with us.
