Management tone policing me and giving me shit for missing little things when I'm literally top salesman in the company and 58% above the average sales for the quarter. Why do I put up with this stress?

@TheTumboy @benjimadness Funny because japan is just getting into craft beer and it’s 95% IPAs. Like time travelling.

It feels like everyone was under a cultural hypnosis that made them drink IPAs and then just woke up one day a few years ago and were like, “wait why are we drinking this?”

@dadsweb67 shows how big the market here was during the bike boom. Can’t imagine this now. I think Ducati’s last Japan spec was the Monster 400

@Mason_573 Great logo! It was on a little 400cc bike from back in the 80s. I didn’t realise Ducati even produced 400cc bikes back in the day, but I guess they did for the JP market.

Nice day for a ride!

@matoxley Hope to see him at the 8 Hour again

Looks like three-times #iomtt winner Davey Todd is on a busman's holiday at Brno. With new Trackhouse Aprilia team manager Francesco Guidotti 😎😎 #MotoGP

@DalesTranslator How did it perform? Doesn’t spoil the looks!

First outing for the new Triumph “Comfort Seat”.

@DalesTranslator I always describe 車検 as “Japanese MOT” to my British customers lol

車検の日 🤞

@ceIIowo Every single automobile manufactured from [time slightly before I was born] to [time cars started to noticeably change from what I grew up with] aged so gracefully it’s kind of insane

Nothing makes me feel more useless than spending time replying to clearly AI generated emails.

@Km14902606Km 大山らへんですね！景色もいいし、人少ないし。おすすめです

バイク乗りのみなさんへ ざっくりとこの辺りで 「ここ走らないと一生後悔するぞ」 っていうスポット教えてください！ 次のツーリングの候補にします！

@DJEBEL1251 半分冗談ですね。笑。最近建てたビルは大体綺麗やと思うけど、古いビルがたくさん残されてます。

@Mason_573 建て替えてないだけだよ！

@_Gissy どっちが発展途上国だったけ？

I still can’t get my upper body to move in slow speed corners (1 & 2) but starting to make progress on higher speed turns and feeling the difference.

今日もサーキットで

@Msamalam Hmm…I wonder what’s changed in Canada in the last 20 years. Surely nothing significant

What's happening in Canada? Direction > starting point. Might be one of the only countries with more killings than 20y ago.

@dadsweb67 I’ll take that boring S1000 off his hands for a cool million yen. It’s a burden I’m willing to carry.

I have a bike friend who got his big bike license, went out and bought a top of the line BMW S1000RR supersports bike for 3.5mil yen last year and a custom made race suit for 400K and has now lost interest in riding. I like having him as a friend as he makes my investments in hobbies look totally reasonable.

Lovely ride yesterday. This June has been really mild so far. Crossing my fingers it stays like this until the Suzuka 8 Hour. NineT needs some new rubber though. Slipping the rear on these silly 90/10 'dirt' tires. New tall seat has transformed the comfort for me though!

@kaizoushin My 市民税 came in at 565,000 :( 消費税 is only due if you're invoicing over 10m a year, correct? Dreading having to deal with that next year if my current sales pace keeps up.

@Mason_573 This is just the 市県民税. I got docked 600,000 for 消費税...

Tell me again where I can find that preferential treatment the nettouyoku keep saying we get, so I can sign up. I'll bring my hanko and everything. ☠️

@burakiremit @FranckyHawk29 Completely agreed. Too much for a casual fan to keep up with. And it’s not even a “world” sport. It’s a few European rounds plus Australia. How can they not include Japan when three of the manufacturers are Japanese?

@FranckyHawk29 Firstly they have to change weekend format and should do like MotoGP. 3 races in a weekend to much and Saturday race already gives spoilers what’s gonna happen süper pole race and race 2. Also they should go more races like 15 or 17 worldwide

🚨 La SBK è morta. Uno spettacolo assoluto inguardabile. Probabilmente era proprio l'obiettivo di Dorna, oggi MGSE, che aveva l'unico interesse di togliersi di torno il solo rivale al Motomondiale. Perché la SBK è stato un autentico rivale della MotoGP, ma oggi cos'è diventato!? Guardo le gare per inerzia ma non ho la forza di commentare. Il record di Bulega è impressionante, da togliere il fiato, ed ha un valore pesantissimo. Vincere 25 gare di fila è qualcosa di allucinante, se non fosse però che già lo scorso anno qualcuno di noi "storceva il naso" ed aveva previsto un risultato del genere senza la presenza del Turco. Dopo aver tolto Razgatioglu al SBK nel prossimo anno toglieranno anche Bulega. Praticamente stanno "svuotando" la SBK dei suoi campioni del mondo. Chi rimarrà!? Questa SBK è, già da anni ad onor del vero, un cimitero degli elefanti. Quegli elefanti che vengo mandati via dalla MotoGP, per età o nazionalità, e vanno a rifarsi una vita nelle derivate di serie. Non è bello così, la SBK meriterebbe altro. #MotoGP #WSBK
