Dave's Cycle

Japanese dog as you can hear the dog sound exactly the same in Japan as they do in the UK the dogs do not speak Japanese, fact of the day, I'm here all week this is the essential thing woohoo, tea bags what you got there? I've got milky, what is it? I think it might be milk, I'm not sure, she looks very happy try it's oh is she so Dave can you explain why we've nicknamed this the 7-Eleven Tour of Japan? because every 10 minutes we stop at 7-Eleven to get a refuel of water and lots of cheap food and onigiri which are little rice balls and they're the nuts, they're so good they've also got free wi-fi so you can check your route, they've got toilets which you can unplug if you want and you can charge your phone from them, very reasonable it's actually cheaper than the UK to eat here I think even though we do spend quite a lot of money in them but from a certain point wherever it was, where was it? where were we in Izu? no the other one, when the 7-Eleven stopped oh that was after shizuoka? there's been no 7-Eleven since shizuoka which is for about 200k and we've both been quite sad about it but there is Family Mart and Lawson's which is pretty much exactly the same, and circle K but they don't have free wi-fi so if you are going tour Japan make sure you make the most of 7-Eleven free wi-fi, download all your maps for your iPhone before and basically perfect touring bike, still frame, disc brakes and obviously if you've got that much weight on check it out, ready? you think something's going to stop you? probably going to need to change the pads pretty soon but awesome machine, gear insides perfect for me going up hills, down hills what else have I got? two water bottles, it's absolutely boiling here and we're drinking about two litres maybe even three of water a day each, 10 from the catalon, awesome, not sure which one it is, it's the Haikou Ultra light, it's only two Kidos and I've been the donkey so I'm carrying it, Brooks Paniers, thank you Brooks, awesome really good, can you get a crap load of stuff in there? so what have you got inside? I've got everything, sleeping bag, a thermarest which is an elastic inner tube thing, an inner tube, it's wicked, you can tie things to your bike with it, a little nog lock, it's
