I took a friend and budding lady motorcyclist to the Tokyo Motorcycle Show last Friday. Not too much of interest for a vintage UJM guy, but I took lots of pictures anyway. Especialy of the various "campaign girls." For the ladies here, I noticed there was a big push to involve women in our world. A lot of the helmet/gear manufacturers had women-specific items on display. There was even one large section called the "Ladies' Support Center" which was full of gear and motorcycles which manufacturers thought would be good choices for ladies.
Other than a mint CB750K at the Honda display, didn't see much else of interest for the SOHC community.
As usual, a few teasers here with a link to my PhotoBucket album.

of all the beautiful "can-gals" at the show, my freind and I both felt this gal was the hottest.
If you think you can grit your teeth past all the Kawasaki photos, here's the link to my photo album. Lots of "can-gal" pictures!
