Nice MIJ. Thanks for sharing. Those V70s are immaculate. I'm sure Japan is too, generally speaking (roads, homes, shopping areas etc.)?

Oh and by the way, that's a Honda NSX a few posts up (at least that what they're named here in the US), and the Honda engineers went as far as making the jack out of aluminum to save weight.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

I live out in Karns on Ball Camp Pike. About a 1/4 mile off Oak Ridge Highway. They are building the Schaad Road extension right behind my house. It will connect up with Lovell Road.
It would be cool to get together sometime. 8)
Here is a picture of my ride. Maybe you have seen it running down the road sometime.

We live in Fountain City, just above the duck pond. here are our rides:
