Another cool thread that makes you glad to be on here!
Haven't done it in a car for ages but last summer I spent two weeks in a few places in Japan (2 city areas and a rural, mountainous place). The nights were warm and dry but very humid and the locals would come out and cruise around the city in quite large numbers.
There would be youngsters in jazzed up mini vans, older guys in fast and furious type road rockets and (my favourite) people on all sort of motorbikes. In the country area all i could hear was the sound of people flying up the mountain roads. I promised myself I had to do the same when I got home.
The one thing that did it for me was the city bikers had hardly any kind of protective gear. Seeing people on bikes with a helmet, baggy t-shirts and jeans and classic adidas / nike trainers did put a smile on my face.
Now I am not advocating this behaviour for everyone but i did spend a memorable night around Cardiff and the area just mooching around on my bike and I didn't half enjoy it.
I really fancy doing it around London and the pics just above have brought back this dersire.
Probably not going to get to the capital in a while but I am DEFINITELY going to do something on the night of June 21st (longest day).
Time to get planning.
