Unhappy Have you ever ridden your Harley in Japan?

There are 4 seasons in Japan of the spring, summer, fall and winter.
The best riding season here Japan are the spring and the fall.
I like to ride mine in winter too, but riding in the summer always makes me stress.
It is over 35 degrees recently and humid so much.
Especially the humidity is incredibly hot very much!!
It's crazy. Ha ha
What do you think about it?

I've heard the big bore bike license is quite a bit tougher than the 400cc one.
Nice clean bike you have there, enjoy and ride safe.

The weather here has been crazy as well, two weeks ago 95 and high humidity, today 65 and windy. Actually like to ride when its a little cooler, feel safer wearing leather than t-shirts.

It's getting nicer every day in East Asia. Still humid but not as hot.

I was stationed at Yakota AB 1978-80. Didn't ride there but drove there. I was soooooo glad when I got back to the world and could get on a freeway and hammer it... on the RIGHT side of the road....

Year round in Okinawa. Got plenty of the heat and humidity here. 2 typhoons over the past week has been a bit of a bummer though.

Default This year is special!!

Thanks all.

It is hottest in the history in Japan.
So TV news here always mention about the crazy summer every day.
It will be still hot for a while probably until about mid of this month.
I hope fall will come right now. Ha ha

Regards.

Nori.
