I guess I could have introduced myself a bit better...
I'm an American, Navy, stationed in Japan. Two of the guys that I work with started getting into two strokes, so not to be left out, I got my own. I have never even ridden a bike before, but I always wanted to. I will only be in Japan for about another year before returning to the states, but I'm taking the bike with me if it's the only thing I take!
I'm taking a motorcycle course tomorrow and the next day, and if I pass I'll finally have my license.
Here is a picture taken right after my bike arrived. I bought it from a wonderfully sassy Danish friend who buys bikes at auction and flips them for a living. He gave me a very good deal and delivered the bike the next day, so we all had a cookout to celebrate. The other two in the picture are the guys from my shop.
