There is a place in Tokyo called Ueno (pronounced wayno) that is 6 square blocks of nothing but motorcycle parts and accessories. In other words motorcycle heaven.

My nickname is Wayno, sounds the same spelled different. Maybe there's a connection somehow ???? I would probably by stuff I don't even need just 'cause I see it. Everyone I know that comes back from Japan or Korea always bring back the newest technology, like a camcorder that fits in your wallet or something off the wall like it. Then I see that same one in a store here in the US like 5-7 years later.

You can't believe it, 6 story buildings with nothing but motorcycle stuff, 1st floor Helmets, 2nd Motocross stuff, 3rd leather etc. Bike museums, stores with nothing but tires all brands, tons of American stuff also, Brembo, WP, any face shield in any coating available, stickers, patches, unreal. I have been there several times and each time I am in shock, the area next to Ueno is nothing but the latest electronics. Only problem is the stuff is expensive, but you can haggle if you speak or know someone who speaks Japanese.

I'm a Mach1 idiot....
If a racer tries to corner like he did up at da track, he'll be eating bark. A seasoned hard street rider can definetely embarass a racer.
I'm accused of taking too many chances, but that's my drug. I make no excuses about it. You get it, or you don't.
Nuttin' but friggin' stunners around here, so I'm rarely ever challenged at all. Seems I'm always on my own, blitzin' the backroads.
I've done a few trackdays, and it bored me. I can't believe people pay so much, to do controlled parade laps on a piece of pavement.
I do both, you're an idiot and you have no clue what you're babbling about...I suppose you could out-ride Rossi in the streets too, since you're such a great street rider...
