The TBI is over. I was a little sad to say goodbye but we are
in Tokyo at Sugawara-san's place. I have to say the TBI is one of the very best
experiences I have had in my life and I have been fortunate to have ridden in
many places with many great people so my perspective is wide and varied.
The elements which make a great motorycle adventure area simple... a good bike,
beautiful scenery, smooth winding roads and kind. welcoming people to share the
experience with. The latter is most important to me, the people on the TBI were
absolutely superb, we had a good time, I saw many people I met from Mongolia
plus I met some great new friends...that is what it is all about!
After now taking part in 3 SSER events I now feel at home here, seeing Ikemachi,
Maeda, Iwasaki brothers, Unagi, Fukuoka and many others was like seeing old
friends once again. Plus all the good at SSER who are now familiar faces, it was
truly a pleasure to see everyone.
Shikoku is with a doubt paradise for motorcycling, words cannot do it justice
everyone should visit this island once in their lifetime.
Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who participated and thank you
to the SSER staff, Yamada-san and of course the people of Shikoku for being such
kind hosts of the rally. I hope to hear from many of you, my e-mail is
