Got thrown out of a shop for taking pictures but they let me have brochures of
the same bikes. odd culture.
I have about a minute of video before I was asked to leave.

Nothing is worse than the gear that Jacky Vimond wore.

I wish I could find some pictures of the Bear Gear. This shit was super-dorky but in Japan "cute" rules.

The other huge shop is RS Taichi in Osaka who made the Taichi gear. http://www.rs-taichi.com/main/index.html

Also, that shop above Corin, went out of business and Ueno bike town is basically gone.

That sucks, those little sidestreets full of specialty shops were cool. If I remember right there was a shop that sold helmets, nothing else, just helmets.

Yeah... The Corin guys are pretty sketchy and really anal. It's like the Yakuza - just don't look at them straight in they eyes. Other than that it's like a Toys R Us for bikers!

Yea, Japanese not allowed to take pictures. I've never heard of that. Must feel like prison to them.
