Going to Yamanashi to pick up the NSR and at the same time decided to sell the D-tracker to get a better bike for riding two up. It was a long ride, probably like 1.5 hours on the highway, since I was speeding a bit.

Got to
Apexmoto, which is who I got both the D-tracker and NSR through, and took a look at all the bikes they have lined up for sale, holding for customers, and working on as project bikes.
Got the NSR into the van by myself and went over to Autobacs to register my ETC reader and then to my buddy Pete's house to try and install my ETC. While installing it we watched the MotoGP race at Phillip Island, where Lorenzo got a bird stuck on his bike while doing the fastest lap in practice.
When I started up the bike I was pleasantly surprised to hear the dry clutch of an MC28 for the first time. Can't wait to race this sweet bike!

On a secondary exciting note, I took Pete's Kei-truck down to the pharmacy to grab him something and got to use manual transmission in Japan for the first time. I'm pretty used to driving on the left side of the road but using your left hand to switch gears is just weird~
On my departure I backed into a tiny wall at Pete's house, first day riding in the Kei-van and I've hit something for the very first time with a car. Still not a real accident, which I've also never been in, in a car.
