Riding in Sado, Japan on a Vmax
« on: June 16, 2009, 06:20:18 PM »
Last weekend I took a trip with my riding friend Yuri (with Vmax) and we rode 300 km from Tokyo to Niigata and then took the ferry over to Sado go shima

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sado,_Niigata

Once off the ferry we headed for Osado Skyline drive...here are a coupleof videos as an example of what it was like...first one going up second one coming down....


coming down..


on the other side of the Island riding along the coast..


Some interesting roads in Sado...



Viewed from here...



And end to a great day...



cheers
Andy
