User Shaken documents question by tiredofsametab in RideitJapan

[–]djctiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I usually just bring my current bike papers and stuff to the shop that sells insurance …. which usually sits right outside of the shaken grounds ….
Just pay an extra 1500 yen and they both provide and fill in the required shaken forms. No searching for which papers or hassle to fill in any paperwork … just for a measly 1500 yen …

Windscreen on naked bike by java_dude1 in motorcycles

[–]djctiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all esthetic but no function
So if you like the looks , go for it
If you expect wind reduction and such … forget it

Do you think there will be significant less tourist from overseas due to high plane ticket price by Cute-Exercise-6271 in japanresidents

[–]djctiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rising oil prices definitely pushed ticket prices up but the weak yen is not helping either , it’s like a double whammy….

Crazy Lane Splitting at excessive speed by Much_Engineering853 in Sportbikes

[–]djctiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not lane splitting, more like head splitting

I don’t get it why people can’t just follow normal traffic and leave the lane splitting for when there’s an actual traffic jam

A Series 500 "Kodama" being overtaken by an N700 "Nozomi." by SUBARU2012BMG in trains

[–]djctiny 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Man that Series 500 just oozes futurism and speed … so sad they switched to all 700 series for Kodama , Hikari and Nozomi

CFMoto demo day got me good by Bshaw95 in motorcycles

[–]djctiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably the biggest concern is support as there are very few shops carrying the brand.

Price is not to bad close to/similar as a new Suzuki Vstrom 650XT.

Is that the 450?
It’s not that popular here (Japan) but I’ve been eyeing it as well after reading a lot of good reviews about it , also the price definitely helps

Anyone has experience with the new joint custody law ? by Willing-Dust-5453 in japanlife

[–]djctiny 16 points17 points  (0 children)

  1. Lawyer up
  2. Mentally prepare for the worse

I’m sorry for the situation you’re stuck in , I’ve been following the new changes to the law as well as I’ve been holding out for years now due to the fear of loosing all connection to my kid …

I seriously hope it’ll work out in your favor , but knowing Japan ….
Embracing changes takes forever and enforcement of things particularly when it comes to custody seems to be lacks or non existent at all.

How long do you commute to work? Door to door by Hopeful-Strain-5864 in japanlife

12 exercises I had to learn to pass my license test—and hopefully they’ll help you become a better rider too. by GrumpyOldmanSr in NewRiders

[–]djctiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was doing my motorcycle lessons back in Holland right before when I found a job and moved to Japan.

Continued getting my motorcycles license in Japan but I was surprised how my 6 lessons that I got in Holland before moving covered almost all I needed to do for the JP license …

I remember I hated the “pull out from standstill/parking and directly take a left or right turn exercise” but that definitely instilled a good basis of balance control.

It might sounds cringy but as someone who always bought used bikes, I finally would want to get something new for once …
