I'm planning to have a long motorbike ride next summer. A friend of mine, who is a computer programmar, is going with me. We sometimes got together and went touring by motorbike. This time, the destination is Aomori Prefecture, which is in the north of Japan, and a little south of Hokkaido. We will bring all the necessities; tent, clothes, cooking tools, maps, PCs for internet access, walkie-talkies etc. We are exchanging e-mails for the preparations and enjoying the preparation itself.
I'm happy to meet you here. I went around Ueno area and dropped in at a bike shop that maybe you are talking about.
By the way, what is Holland like? There is a theme park about Holland in Japan. Do you know Nagasaki Huistenbosch? http://english.huistenbosch.co.jp/index.html It's a very beautiful park that reminds me of the scenery and history of Holland. If you have another chance to come back Japan, be sure to visit the park please.
Sincerely
KUMO (I wrote my real name in the e-mail to you.)

Hi
As you looked aroud in Ueno,maybe you can help me to refresh my memory.
I was in Ueno in 1970 1980 and 1991. I bought bike parts in a shop with several floors. They had a couple of shops with the same name. Do you know what I,m talking about. One of the shops was a the opposite side of the mainroad (seen from the station)
I realize its not to clear, but maybe..
Regards from Holland

Thanks for your comments!
You came from Australia!?
Australia is one of the countries where I'd like to visit. And you love motorcycles? Let me know a little more about you if you don't mind. My youngest daughter is going to visit your country as one of school activities for 2 weeks in March. Where are you from in Australia?
