Tokyo Nights!
Mikku:
I received an interesting email the other day from one of my Japanese mates. He and his (Aussie) wife are expecting their second child and he therefore wants to do some things before his life gets turned upside down again. One of those is to ride the streets of Tokyo at night, as in all night. He asked a few of his fixie friends (sadly he’s a non-BMXer) but they’re all busy with work and families and whatnot, hence his email to me! I immediately said yes, so he’s booked his flights and accommodation (he lives in Hokkaido, which is the northern island of Japan) and is heading down next month. That gives us a few weeks to sort out our route or rather, the places we want to hit-up, and gives me time to sort out my bike. I currently have 3 completes to choose from, namely my Crupi race bike, my recently-finished Redline 500a and my Kuwi Laserlite, but really there’s only one choice - it has to be the Laserlite! The Crupi’s the most comfortable to ride but the Kuwi is a Japanese icon and my grail bike bitd, so I can’t think of a better way to cruise the means streets of Tokyo. I’ll need to put on a front brake and some lights to be road legal but apart from pumping up the tyres, she’s ready to go! :daumenhoch:
I’ll get some photos up when the bike’s ready and of course, will post some more from the ride itself. Am looking forward to it! :slayer:

Sounds ace Mick :daumenhoch:
Dan and I found ourselves bombing through various parts fairly late on one night. Was a fantastic night and up there in my list of truely memorable life experiences. Not every day you find yourself street riding Tokyo!
Seem to remember finding more than a few natural jumps, banked bits of paving and other bmx orientated landscapes :daumenhoch:
