My friend is an adventurer.

My friend Mr. S is a hitchhiker, who has been a lot of places in Japan.

Several days ago, his friend who lived in Hiroshima approached him with the offering to handover of motorcycle. So, he went to see his friend by thumb. Now he is riding motorbike for Tokyo. He has to arrive at Tokyo until October 2 because he will receive job offers. After that, he will return home by motorcycle for his plan.

I think there are two problems in his plan. One is long distance and the other is lack of riding experience. We live in Sendai. Hiroshima is about 700 miles away from Sendai. And he just received his rider’s license last month.

Anyway, it’s okay! I believe he can do that :)

Accident on the road

I had a trivial motorcycle accident on the way to the bus stop. I'm sorry, the accident came of my carelessness.
At that time, I rode my motorcycle on the left lane of a three-lane section. Traffic of middle lane was slow. I was in a hurry and did not see the car which was turning right from opposite lane. When I saw the car come across the intersection, I braked hard my bike. But I toppled over because of rain-slicked road.
Fortunately, everyone was okay. But my motorcycle was broken. It could have been worse. If I took one wrong step, it would turn catastrophic accident.
I should have been more in control. And I regret I made such a mistake.
I'll take time out to get a grip on myself tonight.
