Enjoy Honda 2018 in HSR KyushuI went to the

The Kyushu event was held at HSR Kyushu, located adjacent to the Honda R&D Kumamoto Plant in Kumamoto Prefecture.
This year's event was held on March 31 and April 1, but the cherry blossoms had already begun to fall.

For the first event of the year, it is quite crowded.

After making an appointment for a bike test ride, I headed for the NSX ride-along lottery, but there was already a long line...
I left about 50 people in front of me and withdrew in tears when the lottery slots were filled.

Even if you want to ride the bike you are looking for, there are too many people and you can't ride it a second time or later.
It was not easy to get on.

Around noon, the crowd is even larger.

Next to the motorcycle test ride, RC213V-S (with SPORTkit)
We were able to experience engine starting & blipping.
Even though it is a production car, it is a quintessential MotoGP machine with excellent response.

 

HondaRacingPerformance is 4-wheel and 2-wheel (on and off).
They ran at the same time and were very powerful.
It is a quintessential professional to match three-wide in front of the side curtain.

With the start of the racing and event season, there will be many events coming up in the near future.

Hello, RPV.

Last week, I went on a business trip to Hiroshima for two nights and three days for the first time in a long time.I wasn't in my element on the first day, but I managed to get the job done.

So on the second day, we went to eat authentic okonomiyaki for dinner, which I would like to introduce to you.

This restaurant also serves delicious okonomiyaki, so I always order it when I visit. The okonomiyaki is quite large and takes a little time, so I order it ahead of time.

Since we had come to Hiroshima, after all, we ordered teppan-yaki oysters while okonomiyaki was cooking. The soy sauce and oyster broth are the best.

 

While we were drinking beer with this, the okonomiyaki was prepared in front of us. The staff member accompanying me had "soba" (noodles), so the okonomiyaki was quite hearty.

 

I ordered it without "soba" and it is just the right volume. The cabbage in the okonomiyaki here is sweet and delicious. I ordered it without soba, so the volume was just right!

This store worked in Hiroshima for a long time.My brother told me about this restaurant. The restaurant is called "Chizu" located in Kaneyama-cho, Naka-ku, Hiroshima City.

The photo below shows the entrance, but it is a bit confusing because of the signs for different stores with different tastes (^^;);

 

There is a proper entrance to the building (^^;);

 

The picture below shows the sign above the back door. Holy shit, for some reason this one is easier to find.

 

The photo below shows the back entrance. It is difficult to enter if people are sitting at the counter.

 

So, I hope this will be helpful. The cold weather is likely to continue for the time being, so please take good care of yourself.

See you~(^^)/

Happy New Year!
Sorry for the delay in wishing you a Happy New Year.

The cold weather is continuing, and the flu is raging around the world,How are all of you doing? I hope you are taking good care of your health.

So, this is a New Year's party with our staff. At the same time, we would like to introduce our second izakaya in Kumamoto.

This time, we visited Hachigo-tei, a restaurant in Kamidori-machi, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City. It is located behind Hotel Nikko. It is also close to Hotel Castle.

 

First, a toast with a draft beer!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We start the new year by discussing the abundance of this year.

Thank you all for your continued support this year. I wish you all a very happy new year!

 

 

Hello, RPV.

Last weekend, I went fishing in Amakusa for the first time in a while. I thought it might be the last time this year, so I went in the cold wind, but the fishing was not good, and I caught only mackerel and horse mackerel.

 

Some people around me ridiculed me, saying, "You spent 3 hours for round trip and 5 hours for actual fishing in such cold weather, gasoline and bait, and you caught this fish?" They ridicule me for spending 3 hours for round trip and 5 hours for actual fishing in such cold weather.

It doesn't matter if the hobby is painful or inefficient, as long as the person enjoys it.

So, please take care of your colds and other health problems at the end of the year.

See you~(^^)/

Hello, this is RPV. Last month, I went to the Tokyo Motor Show.

We went there to check the relationship with our business partners and also the future trends in the automotive industry.

It sounds great to say, but in fact, I personally wanted to go there so badly, so I did.

 

I arrived at Tokyo Big Sight at 10:00 a.m., the time of the event, but the entrance for my admission ticket holder was so crowded that I had to wait 40 minutes.

The same-day ticket sales were still better, so it might have been better to buy tickets on the day of the show.

The smoothest and by far the fastest way to enter is with a T-card with credit function.

I didn't know that~! I'll try this next time.;

 

The theme of this year's motor show seemed to be EVs and driver assistance, but I'm sure you already know that, so I'll introduce it from a different perspective. I am not so interested in them myself (^^;);

This is Toyota's booth. Latvala's WR car was on display.

 

Next up is the driving Subaru, the WRX S208.

 

BRZ~!

 

It is a concept car. It is a sedan, but it has a sophisticated design.

 

Next up is Mazda. This is also a concept car! Mazda's design is even more innovative~(^-^;);

 

Mazda's SkyActive engine was also on display with detailed information.

 

Speaking of Mr. Honda, it is still the Super Cub (^-^;);

Just recently, there was also a commemorative event at Kumamoto Works! I am more familiar with this one, which has the scent of Showa era (^-^;);

 

The new model also looks easy to ride.

 

It's a new 1000cc naked. It looks fun and full of the latest technology.

 

This one is said to be a bike that does not fall over, and we would love to see it put to practical use.

 

This one looks like a combination of a house and a car, quite a unique house? A car? (^^)

 

Kawasaki displayed a Z900RS, which is reminiscent of the old Z1. I think it is intriguing to the generation born in the Showa era.

 

The original is good, but the custom-made one is also quite good. Personally, I can't get enough of the silhouette of the 4-pipe muffler when viewed from the back at an angle.

 

Ohhhh I want this one!

 

The usuals will also be there~!

 

Yamaha exhibited a fuel cell motorcycle. The drive system is a rear in-wheel motor.

 

The swing arm is supposed to have a mechanism in which the root of the swing arm is movable, so that even if the body banked, the tire bank would be suppressed to secure grip, and the bank angle of the swing arm would not match with the body bank angle. It is an amazing feat of ingenuity and creativity that is only possible with electric bikes!

 

Lunch is available at the venue, but there is a waiting list, so I went to the Ariake Central Tower just outside the venue. When I left the venue, I was given a piece of paper to wrap around my wrist to allow me to re-enter the venue. If you don't have it, you will have to pay the re-entry fee again. Without it, you will have to pay the admission fee again.

This is like a commercial building, but it contains a Yoshinoya and other restaurants and is relatively empty.

 

I chose the grilled horse mackerel set meal.

 

This is what the inside of the restaurant looks like. You can be seated immediately without waiting in line outside the restaurant.

 

Here is the first eye candy! This is Suzuki's booth. It is a familiar mark.

 

This is IHI's turbocharger. The structure of recent turbochargers is quite complicated and elaborate!

 

Tire manufacturers are promoting the development of airless tires.

Mr. Dunlop.

 

Mr. Bridgestone.

 

Akebono Brake exhibited a fluidized brake system, a braking system that does not use friction materials. The absence of brake dust is a good thing, and this system is expected to be put to practical use in the near future.

 

Asahi Glass introduced a technology that projects information directly onto the windshield. I hope this will be realized soon, too!

 

Finally, here is the second piece of eye candy. I happened to be standing next to this booth when he came out of the waiting room in the back. As soon as he did so, 20 to 30 people with cameras gathered around him within a few seconds and surrounded him.;

 

The next day, I took the first train to Ikebukuro to meet a friend who lives in Chichibu, and went to the aquarium on the way. I heard that most of the fish here died a few days later, which is a shame (-_-).

 

It is said that they are penguins flying in the sky in the city. If you ask me, it looks something like that (^-^;);

 

We arrived in Chichibu. I ordered a cup of coffee at an affaires in a tangible cultural property recommended by a friend.

 

It is said to be a tobacco shop. It has a Showa-era appearance!

 

The next day, I went to Tsukiji, which is the talk of the town right now. It had already become a tourist attraction (+_+).

 

Since the place was crowded with tourists, I decided to have an early lunch and went to a seafood bowl restaurant in a back alley. I ordered a bowl of rice topped with only my favorite ingredients. There was a bowl of rice topped with only my favorite ingredients on the menu, so I ordered it without hesitation. It was delicious!;

 

My first excursion in a long time over the consecutive holidays has come to an end (-_-). When I see the Yamanami Mountains of Aso, I feel that I have returned home.

 

It is getting colder day by day and the end of the year is approaching, so please take care of yourselves. See you soon~(^^)/

Hello, RPV.
On November 23, I went to Eguchi Beach in Higashiichiri-cho, Hioki City, Kagoshima Prefecture, for the first time in two years.
Image checked on the way.Around 9:00 a.m.Located in the south of Akune CityThis is a beach. This is a popular beach for surfers with its clear white sandy beach.

The waves are waist to belly, and the wind is about 4-5 m/s from west-northwest to northwest side to side on. It is not enough to wind, and in surfing, it is halfway through the wind, so we move to Eguchi-hama.

 

The image below is from the observation platform at Eguchi beach. The waves are knee to waist and the wind is about 8-10 m/s on the west-northwest to northwest side. As soon as we arrived, the locals started to appear in court.

I think the sail size is around 4.5 m2 and the board is around 80L. I also went out with a 5.0 m2 85L, but soon the wind dropped and I changed my board to a 95L. It is quite easy to have buoyancy on the board due to my age. lol;.;

I took some photos in the evening.

 

The conditions were not so good with north-northwest to northwest gusty and shifty, but I ended up having a lot of fun with a 5.0 m2 sail size and 95L board. But everyone was in good spirits! Wind is getting older just like motorcycles (^^;);

It had been a year and a half since I had ridden windsurfing, so I was a bit apprehensive, but I am glad I managed to ride. However, I was reminded that my strength and endurance have declined considerably, probably due to my age!Well, my body hurts here and there today (^^;See you later~(^^)/

We have just replaced the tires on our outgoing machine.
Until now.MICHELINPILOT POWER 2CT: PILOT POWER 2CT used for approx. 6,000 km.
I decided to replace it because the handling was becoming unstable.
It's time to change it out as it looks like it will have a slip sign.
It was my first time using MICHELIN and the wear resistance was as good as the rumors said.
And this time, for the first time in a long time.DUNLOPBeforealpha-13I used to use
SPORTMAX α-14I would like to enjoy the marginal grip with

I drove about 100 km while peeling and saw that it can be laid down more than expected.
This is something to look forward to when we raise the averages.

From September, we will not be able to run as much as we would like due to the opening and start-up of a new office.
I would like to make time to go running somehow.
everyoneSafetyRaidSo, I'll see you then...

Hello, RPV.

How is everyone doing in this continuing heat wave?

We are also working hard in the hot weather.

So, while I was busy with work, my friend and I went fishing in Amakusa.

Even though it was night fishing, it was quite hot and humid. As I was leaning on the fishing line, I saw fireworks going off in the distance.

Watching fireworks while fishing was quite enjoyable.

We were told that they have not been catching much fish recently since the earthquake, so we decided to go for the bean horse mackerel without any expectations.

I guess with my skill level, it would be reasonable to target small horse mackerels at best! However, miracles do happen.

What a hit! Oh, lucky me!

After that, my friend got a flounder by swimming bait-fishing with the horse mackerel I had caught!

My friend got another flounder last week, so he generously gave his catch to me this time. Thank you very much.

Well, I guess you can't know what you're dealing with until you try!

I hope you all take good care of yourselves and have a good summer vacation!

 

The exhibition is being held at the Prefectural Museum of Art, Kumamoto Branch from July 27, 2012.
Evangelion and Japanese Sword ExhibitionI went to the

The usually plain pavilion is also dressed up with anime characters.

Kumamon, the collaborating character, for the first Saturday after the event.
They greet you in cosplay. They are very popular among men and women of all ages.

I ordered a time-consuming nameplate before looking around the exhibits.
The demonstration was given by Kaoru Sakamoto (Kumamoto) and Naoma Nishimura (Saga).

After the inscription cutting reception is over, we will start from the 1st floor, where you can learn the history of Japanese swords.

Dotanuki is exhibited first because it is held in Kumamoto.

There are seven pieces ranging from the Heian period to the end of the Edo period, and I personally like the blade pattern of the Azuchi-Momoyama period.

There are many different types of Japanese swords.

Many Eva character-inspired works are on display on the first and second floors.

And this time it is the Lance of Longinus that is being pushed.
It may not look like much at first glance, but the details and drawings show that a great deal of time and effort went into this product.

After looking around, I went shopping at Eva Store. Here are some of the loot.

I think it is difficult to own one personally because of the Firearms Act, but how about one for everyone?

I believe that dangerous objects, including Japanese swords, possess a beauty that attracts people.

The period is until August 20. See you soon.

Hello, this is RPV. I've been doing a lot of motorcycle stuff lately, so I'd like to introduce something a little different this time.
I recently went to the Kanto area on a business trip.
I was introduced to Kisara by an acquaintance of mine who loves to imitate people, so I went to Kisara.

We have received permission to publish images (videos are not allowed), so here are some of them. (They say anything is good publicity)

Here are today's performers.

 

This is Mr. Ishikawa, MC.

 

 

They have received official approval from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Obviously, the gestures and hand gestures are quite studied.

His voice and talk were great.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oops~! I'm in position to catch a ball hit just short of the fence!

Apparently, he couldn't catch the ball. His frustration was oozing out of him.

pull one's self toge

The last one is a gut touch with a fan!

Well, I had a good time for the first time in a long time.

I would like to see "Marna" next!
