Review of 

Motorcycle Japan - A Rider's Diary






"Chapter one gives the reader a fantastic starting point for what to expect when you ride in Japan. Although this chapter lists ten reasons to ride in Japan, the adventure seeker will no doubt be able to easily list their own ten. Watching the video via the link in the ebook brought back amazing memories of my time living in Kyoto, and this guide offers great knowledge and reference points for anyone wishing to experience a new culture and create life long memories."

Motorcycle Japan: A Rider's Guide

" A handy guide that helps you pull together all the basics for riding in Japan"

" I have been looking for a book to help me plan a bike trip to Japan"

" The videos are great as they give you a real feel of what to expect.The packing video was excellent"

" ..trip guides are very detailed and helpful as it is hard to know what to take and pack for each season of riding"

" Always wanted to go to Japan and now that I have retired the wife and I want to ride a Goldwing around Japan. This guide helps us as "baby boomers" understand the culture, language and process for trip planning"

" There are no books on bike travel in Japan making this a rare find!"

"Peter is a rider and writes like a rider, clear, simple and to the point. The trip guides share how to save money and get the most out of riding in Japan"

" 8 days in Hokkaido, 2 people leaving from Tokyo for only 79,000 yen total, all accommodation, gasoline, food and expenses..that's just amazing!"

"The Hokkaido guide looks fantastic and I can't wait to ride the roads in summer"

"The thing I liked the best were the bilingual route guides showing you the Japanese and the English together. I don't speak Japanese so they were really practical"

Positives

• Once you try professional wetgear their is no going back to cheaper brands.
• This suit really keeps you dry , even if you ride for hours in the rain.The water just doesnt get through
• It keeps you incredibly warm
• Drys quickly
• Inner hood is great as it offers sun protection on the neck and keeps your head warm in winter and absorbs sweat in summer.
• Adjustable arms & legs ensure a snug fit and the jacket fastens to the pants.
• Outer hood is good if you wear an open face helmet as it has a peak on it allowing you to see and not get wet.
• Full mesh lining means it is comfortable and doesn't itch when wet.Also absorbs sweat.
• Folds up neatly and quickly.Storage bag can be compressed allowing it to easily fit in a tank bag.
• Red colour allows you to be easily seen during the day and at night. In Japan road lighting at night is very poor particularly in rural areas so it really pays to be seen.
  

Negatives

• Draw string pants cord way too long and can easily get caught on things, cutting it would ruin suit
  

• Hood attachment system strong but can be annoying when you take your helmet on and off during a ride
• Seams on inner hood too thick and can give you a headache on a long ride as pressure on your forehead
