Default Riding in Okinawa, Japan

Here is a link to a safety ride we did on 24 Jun 2009.
I am leading the first group on the blue Train.
We had 3 groups. My group, mainly Harleys.
The second group mainly smaller bikes and newer riders.
And the third group of mainly sport bikes and experienced riders.

If you have never ridden on the left side of the road, it takes some getting used too. For any of you that may have spent some time here in Okinawa, you may have some flash backs. Great riding here once you get up north and out of town.

Enjoy.

Great video...quality resolution and terrific selection of locations to shoot from...you must have really had to cook to film and then beat crowd to next location or is there a secret here?

Thanks for posting and that whole group deserves credit for the disciplined riding. John

Sorry, forgot about this one.

Our photo guy also rides a rocket (very well I might add).
He also has front and rear lenses mounted on his bike.
Very serious rider and camera buff. He also took these from the same ride http://picasaweb.google.com/TeacherM...at=directlink#
He would pass us and hall *** to a predetermined spot and set up and wait for the groups to come past. Then he would pack up his gear and hall *** again to the next spot.
The Island is only 60 miles long and most of the good riding is in the northern 1/3 of the island.
Most guys that ride a lot, know these roads very well. Only so many ways to go.

This was a safety ride so thanks for the compliment on the "disciplined riding".
My group did very well.

Thanks for the pictures, I was at Kadena AFB 1968-1971 before Japan took control of the Island.

Is Charley's taco's still around? I was there 30+ yesrs ago. Do they still leave the nasty crashs on the street for eveyone to see? We used to drink Orion.
