Takes me back to when I was stationed in the Azores in the 80's. I feel your pain brother, but I had to have some work performed while there and they would not allow me to get it done by me on base but had to go to a local shop to get the repairs completed.

 

I didn't get to bring my bike with me to Japan, but I'm trying to pick one up locally. The inspection and certification process through the host country is stupid complicated and on top of that we have a base inspection as well.
