Jason in Tokyo - Vlog #7 - Motorcycle Street in Ueno

[mostawesomestjes]

Akihabara! I am totally jealous! If I get to go to Japan, I have determined that I am going to buy a scooter! ^_^

[ToLokyo]

I want a bike!

BTW, Sensoji is a temple, not shrine (the "ji" means temple). There's a cute little shrine off to the side of it though, so that counts. :P

Oh and "Sunkus" is pronounced "sunks"...it's a failed Japanese attempt to say "Thanks". (not joking)

Oh, and I want a bike~!!!

[myargonauts]

cool - thanks for the info.

yeah - I knew it was a temple - I just forget all the time and say the wrong thing... I'm already having "senior" moments and I'm not even 40 yet! :P

Well, wherever I went they called the Conbini "san-kasu", but I've only been in the northeastern parts of Japan.

[EpiDemic117]

ME to damnit!!! Ill either take a V-rod a gold wing or hayabusa. OR maybe a little convenient gas sipping scooter such as the nice silver wing.

[stefmax]

Some of the bikes are so stylish and retro!

I cannot wait to own one!

Thanks for the rockin' video!

[blackberrybunny]

Hello Jason! Thanks for sharing your video. Lots of scooters and motorcycles in Tokyo, huh? Have you seen any car accidents? Do you think the people there are better drivers than they are here in America? We just had a fatal crash here 2 nights ago, around the corner... someone my husband knows slammed into a pecan tree. Of course, he was speeding though! Seems like out here in the country people think they've got the RIGHT to speed because we are rural. It's a shame!!

[WhiteMatrix2006]

I thought a couple of those bikes were pimp looking. That all white one was pretty cool looking. I wouldn't ride it, but some people might. That's pretty cool neighborhood.

cool video

[Link877]

wow I only saw like one bike in that whole bunch that looked even somewhat modern. All the rest looked straight out of the 90's, all of them looked liked their were only 250's too besides the one modern looking one. But that's understandable, supposedly getting a licenses over 250 is damn near impossible over their. But it still saddens me for japan to be the home of three major motorcycle manufacturers and to see very little sport or super sport bikes over their.

[Cronaldo02]

ack, i delayed his for 2 days.... im sorry jason forgive me?

[hitmanlineman54]

try to check out the zojoji temple it is a nice temple aswell

[PureCorrupt]

Akihabura is so awesome!!! I've been there and it is everything electronic.

[nyannyan123456]

lmao at the scooter at the end with the sport bike exhaust.

[ryokosdesire]

I can't wait to ride some mountain trails again when I get back to Washington.

[Jmask5]

Sankus is supposed to be the Japanese pronouncation of "Thanks" . Anyway Hopefully you can put up a vid of Akihabara and Shinjuku.

[myargonauts]

ahh naru hodo.. that makes sense...

[ZoahPorre]

Out of the bikes, I liked the one @ 3:47 but it being all white would be a bitch and a half to keep it that white. Also, maybe its just me, but I wouldn't want to go where tourists go. It seems like going to another continent to eat McDonald's. Maybe if you haven't had it in a few years, ok, but as a pure tourist, id be more than happy to find a packed place to go eat.

Especially one that you would probably never see ever again.

[trutopianlife]

didnt see any cool bikes

[emergencyincas]

Japan, being mountains sticking out the ocean, is ideal for motorcycles, from what I've heard. Those lovely road in your videos only help confirm this.

Awesome news, I finally get to go to Japan this summer. Spending a month in Nagoya, then a whirlwind jaunt across Honshu.

[myargonauts]

very cool - it'll be hot but I'm sure you'll have a great time

[emergencyincas]

Yeah. It's a shame I'll be a month too early for the Nagoya sumo tournament. Woulda been great to see a bit of it.

[tigerboyce]

Many bikes, still good too see the odd bicycle too!

[iTzNoko]

Haha the trash at the beginning made me laugh for some reason.

[ronlikesthecure]

haha i agree, that man in the beginning knows the secrets of the universe.
