“My 80-Year-Old Father and the S2000: A Masterful Drive”
On my day off, I went for a cruise on the mountain roads with my 80-year-old father behind the wheel of his Honda S2000 (AP2).
It had been a while since I’d let my father take the wheel of the S2000. While he no longer drives with the ferocious speed of his younger days, I was amazed by his smooth handling—not a single jolt or jolt.
I’d grown accustomed to the comfort of my Lexus and thought his driving style might have softened a bit, but I was completely wrong. It was a day that left me once again in awe of the refined, effortless driving style that only a seasoned driver possesses.
Japan is a small country. This is my motorcycle garage in the middle of nowhere in Japan. Taking care of three bikes in this tiny garage and one in the carport out front—four bikes total—takes some serious ingenuity.
“Here's Johnny!” Jack Nicholson is keeping an eye on the bike thief.
On a submersible bridge in Japan. (Submersible bridge: A low bridge designed to sink into the river during heavy rain or flooding, lacking guardrails.) February in Japan marks the start of cedar pollen season, bringing troublesome times for those with hay fever.
Snow's starting to fall... On days like this, I'll immerse myself in maintenance.
I'm satisfied I got to tackle all the things I'd been meaning to do: timing belt tension adjustment, throttle cable adjustment, brake switch repair, and more.
At my favorite mountain pass.
This place is officially known as Komori Pass, but among local riders, it’s always been called "Zaike" or "Kabuto." I came here today to savor the performance of my front forks, freshly tuned by the masters at Scuderia Okumura.
Scuderia Okumura: A Legacy of Precision Scuderia Okumura was founded in 1994 by Hiroshi Okumura, a legendary former works rider for both Yamaha and Honda. It stands as Japan’s first specialized suspension shop. Online reviews are filled with high praise, with riders often describing the results as "magic" or wishing they had done it sooner. Their signature "ME Tuning" goes beyond simple maintenance, refining the suspension to resonate with each rider's personal feel—it has become a gold standard in the industry.
The Essence of "ME Tuning" The setup: a full overhaul combined with their signature ME Tuning. The moment I moved the bike in my garage, I was struck by an eerie "lightness." It felt so effortless that I found myself re-checking the assembly and torque specs over and over, worried I’d missed something.
On the road, the feel is incredibly supple, yet it possesses a firm, responsive core. "It’s like the difference between rolling over on a hard floor versus a plush bed in a luxury hotel." The way it traces the tarmac with such smoothness and feedback is simply sublime. Absolute perfection.
