We're a couple of suburban American boys who came to Japan and became bikers.
Been here well over a decade now and still
lovin' it.
Together we've crisscrossed most of this
country and are convinced that these are
some of the best roads in the world, and
that it would be selfish of us not to tell
anyone about it.
