First. To join the trip a Bike is needed.
Rent it from Fukuda Motors:

Let's see if I move my bicycle... Hei! It fits well behind the car. (Mhhhhh  -> gives me ideas ! )   :-)

Appointment at 7am. Then let's hit the road and head to the meeting point.

Meeting the others at resting place on highway, now we are 10.

A well known fact is that an Engine has two connection rods and one crank (Harley Davidson).

In the edge of valve cover there is a "kaatumarauta", not that screw, 10cm right, the metal peace to be sacrificed in case the bike fells down.
"Kaatumarauta" was much bigger in the old Guzzi GT850.

GPS kept track..

Of course this is another photo of Guzzi, yet good to have also some people to decorate the photo.

Then some shots on the way...

Lunch was next to lake Chuzenjiko at road 120.
190 km from home.

Oh yes, all the white stuff behind is really snow...

... but soon it got warmer.

This was the point I gave up and headed back home.
The others had still a long way to go, hot bath and another ride next day.

BYE. See you...  ...next year?

I hope we can add here a link to one of the guys' homepage to see what was there behind that corner...

There was and old Guzzi GT850 on my way home.

Story: I feel like being one of very few who likes moderate, original Guzzi sound. This bike is complete excluding the silencers: they come from Triumph, because the sound of original was too silent for the owner.

And finally it was cold. Highway speed was too cooling.

Returning the bike to Fukuda Motors. 405 km since leaving home in the morning.
