2016 Happy Bike Meeting, Tokyo
« on: May 28, 2016, 04:16 AM »
Yes, it's time for my annual visit to the biggest and best old school bmx meet in Japan, scheduled for tomorrow morning at Komazawa Olympic Park in Tokyo!



With Clint and his brother also planning to go, there should be 3 Radsters upholding  :Great_Britain: honour! Pics to follow in due course! :daumenhoch:

Well the Olympics will be here in 4 years, so you may as well kill 2 birds and come over for both! :daumenhoch:


It was a bloody hot one at Komazawa this morning! A bit less of a turnout than last year, but still some lovely bikes on display, plus I finally got to meet Clint and his kid brother! :daumenhoch: Here are the first batch of pics - more later after I've rehydrated and had a lie-down!! :D

Love these pictures ... Love the fact that it's not about NOS show pony bikes but bikes that have all been ridden and well loved ... Some exotic bikes there ... Cheers for sharing mate :4_17_5:

Yeah, and there's definitely a preference for 70s bikes too. Right, time for Part 2, starting off with something you might recognise! :daumenhoch:







Love this pair of CBRs!! :smitten:







First thought this was a Team but closer inspection revealed otherwise. Brought over by an Irish guy and used as his daily rider. :daumenhoch:



Mongoose is one of the more popular brands and this one was my favourite!



Moosegoose anyone?



So much to drool over in this one....











I took a load more photos but the above just about covers the bases! A good day out, as always. :4_17_5:

Great pics Mick

Is there a ride involved, or do people just hang around by those steps?

No ride involved, but that's a bloody good idea griff- I'll speak to the organizer about it! A few of  the freestyle boys were practising tricks in the area at the bottom of the steps but that was about it. I reckon a bunny-hopping comp would fit in well with the atmosphere of the event, so maybe I'll suggest that too. :daumenhoch:

Nice pictures Mick!  :daumenhoch: I had no idea actually how cool some bikes of the 70's era are.

There's some great 70's machines there.

It's not just the other side of the world....        It's a different world.  :coolsmiley:


Thanks for sharing.
