Some old Shozo Cafe photos

Shozo are great cafes in Nasu and Kuroiso, Tochigi Prefecture. There are 3 of them! It’s hard to choose a favourite – but probably Nasu Shoza Cafe or Mountain Drive, depending on the mood.
Check out their website – but be warned there is a really irritating (for me) sound track!

Ready for the rainy season (tsuyu 梅雨)!!

Bought these mudguards (Planet Bike) recently, I wanted to buy SKS Adventure mudguards as they are much better looking, but they don’t fit suspension forks.
