Where all the bike shops are in Tokyo?
I'm in Tokyo at the moment and I did write the district down in my diary, which is great except that it's still in my car at Auckland airport (too much hurry, too little memory.....)
If anyone knows the area could they P.M. me please, would be much appreciated.

Last time I was in Tokyo, I couldn't find any. Same with car dealerships. Real estate is so expensive, car dealers used to come to your house (using public transport) as show you some brochures.

I imagine there may be some just outside of Tokyo. Brian on KB might know. He lives there.

+1 to Katman. It's located about 100m northeast of JR Ueno Station. My old boss bought a mint Honda CB1000 Big One from there at an incredibly low price and had it shipped back on one of our log vessels. Saved an absolute fortune.

Saw this guy ripping up and down the main drag in Harajuku. Eventually saw the bike parked down a sidestreet, check out the bars!

After all that, one iridium visor. Sad I know but the family consumed the rest of my credit cards (I think one of them started to bleed...).

To be honest I didn't find anything (apart from the custom bikes) that I couldn't buy for the same price in New Zealand if you took into account the freight etc cost. The brand new R1 I saw on sale is actually cheaper to purchase from a dealer here than off the showroom floor in Ueno.

Dammit. I was hoping for pics of Shibuya girls...not bloody bikes :clap:

You meet the nicest girls in Roppongi.

You're right about that. This is my third trip to Tokyo and I am always amazed at the number of stunningly attractive (and stunningly presented) women there are anywhere in the city.

Sorry mate, this is the best I can do for girly photos, some interesting fashions there. My wife, very sensibly, wouldn't let me take any of Tokyo schoolgirls.....(if you've been there you'd understand).
