Video! Dio SP on backroads in Japan

Post by ItchyKneeSon »

I have a YouTube channel (ItchyKneeSon) that I try to keep up with regularly.
My most recent upload is a short video in which I take my Dio down some roads in Japan.
Feel free to check out my other videos and subscribe.

Get yourself a helmet cam and a wind sock.

Thanks, I don't think I'd ever be riding a scooter on the backroads of Japan. Also, nice work volunteering to teach 5th graders English.

You need to read the book Eats Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss. lol
Sounds like you could make some cheese.
I hope you enjoy your time here. :)

Yea, it's a bit windy. I thought it was better than dubbing over the sound with a poor-quality pop song. I think annoying wind sounds better than pop music anyhow. :P

Why would a need a wind sock? I know that the wind will be blowing from my front to back when I'm riding... :naughty:

Think happy thoughts and anything can happen!
And thank you, I really enjoy working with kids. It's fun and rewarding.
Hopefully, my visa will go through quickly so I can stay...

Cool video man!
Thank you.
I actually needed a "this thread sucks" to satisfy my ego. ahhhhh


There should be more riding videos to come, soon.
I'll probably post them on this thread.

I like the idea of the water bottle holder in the foot well.

heh, thanks. It would be MUCH more useful if I didn't have a full-face helmet...
It's good for keeping a drink cold until I get to my destination.
I just found the bottle holder laying in the driveway, popped the screw off, and put it back on. It gets in the way slightly when I fill up the fuel tank. I can live with it, though.
