John’s been taking a lot of hits and heat here for dropping the bike. A little backstory. He busted his a$$ to get a motorcycle license barely in time for this trip and had ZERO practice before we left. Ballz of steel to get on the streets and ride at speed with traffic. It can be intimidating. ALL riders drop bikes- new and experienced. You put your foot down on gravel or a slick surface and buhbye. You are at a stop light and lean over just enough off balance, sayonara. Bikes are heavy and once you’re off-balance even slightly it’s all over. New riders tend to grab the front brake when they are at slow speeds turning. BUH BYE. After a few hard knocks he got the hang of it and was smilin’ for the majority of the trip. #ballzofsteel 😀👍

@noseboop4354 11 ай бұрын

Isn't it kind of dangerous and irrisponsable to suddenly take a huge trip like this in a foreign country after barely getting your motorcycle license? There's a reason why the fatality rate for motorcycle accidents is ten times higher than automobile accidents.

@ramsessilent 11 ай бұрын

@@noseboop4354 no its not and thy have both lived there over 15 years. John just had a few problems balancing the bike when it stopped a the first 2 times. its common for new riders or when on a new bike you are not use to. there was no danger other then the bike falling over.

Nice trip guys! Peter asked about glass blowing in Otaru. It's a remnant of the days when fisherman used glass floats for their nets. Once they converted to plastic floats, the glass blowing industry here in Otaru needed to evolve to survive. They eventually converted to fine glassware and that's what you see today in town. It's a wonderful place to live and we certainly enjoy our time here in this historic town. 🙏🇯🇵😊

I don't know if it would make good economic sense, but if you combined these two versions with extra content you left out (and maybe from live-streams) and made a blu-ray, I would certainly buy it.

@onlyinjapan 11 ай бұрын

The cost to make 1000 blurays, anything less makes no financial sense - wouldn't make much sense in 2023. I might burn a few copies - I dunno - but the bleary I made for my 2017 hitchhiking trip was super challenging. The only company that made them in Japan went out of business and I had to order them in the USA. It's always an option and if we do another kickstarter, I will reassess how the best way forward is for everyone. Peter did an amazing job with the post-production as well. Good team work on this.

Road trips are the best way to meet people, hear their stories and integrate them into your memory. The preservation of personal history is as important as national or regional history. There was a project here that recorded old timers stories as part of a national archive, maybe John could do the same. It's often easier to tell a foreigner a story because they can't judge you. I relish hearing that openness.

I liked it all, but my favorite part was the Ainu People. I was thinking how much like Native Americans they were right before Peter said it. I agree with the people that say they were part of a migration of people traveling. They got to Hokkaido and decided to stay while others kept going. The migration brought people all the way into South America, a VERY long time ago.

@onlyinjapan 11 ай бұрын

For us, it was critical to add learning experiences and for Hokkaido, none are more worthwhile that the Ainu people. The museum is somewhat controversial, it doesn’t talk about the modern history, but it does teach about the culture and it’s much improved since the last time I went in 2017 when it was kind of a disaster as you. And see in a live stream I did back them on my GO channel
