Break time
Mini knowledge
When the average age of Japanese was still young, a motorcycle was a symbol
of bad teenagers. Many parents were anxious that their children become
a motorcycle gang. Then the three NO campaign was arose among many highschools.
No get a bike license
No buy a bike
No ride a bike
But now, all those children at that time have been older fortunately. Already,
they don't say "don't ride a motorcycle!!" to their children,
but no wonder, because teenagers are carried away by a videogame. Because
of that, it is said that the average age of riders is 51 years. Rather
surprised! Same situation around world? Anyway, If you ride a motorcycle,
you can do the average age of riders in Japan younger. I'm sure.
Well, Japanese bike licenses are divided into three kinds. Small up to
125cc, Medium up to 400cc, Large can ride all engine displacement. Although
you can ride 50cc with a car license. But there are strict regulations
for 50cc. You have to ride the left end of the road at limited speed 30km
/ h, besides at a big intersection, You have to turn right after dividing
it twice.
125cc can ride same speed with cars under the law. But can not use an expressway.
To go touring in the distance, motorcycles of 126cc or more are nice. If
you have such a motorcycle, you can easily meet a hidden hot spring in
the province and delicious foods of special products from the region fully.
Discover something new by motorcycle, by all means!
How about it?
