Starting in Osaka, then Yokohama and finally resting for a day in Tokyo.
Mooneyes this year was titled, "Be Calm, Not Loud". This came from the fact that for this year, and I am guessing moving forward, due to complaints from local residents and hotels, the "car/bike park" was closed. This was a major feature in previous years, I have heard guys say that the car park was almost better than the show. Normally we'd go on the Saturday, check everything out during set up, so that when Sunday came along, you could spend the day outside watching all the bikes ride in.
To be honest with you, I spent a good part of Saturday (the rest of the day I went shopping) at setup and only about an hour or so on Sunday morning at Mooneyes. I did miss seeing all the bikes come in on Sunday, loved sitting in the sun, taking photos of them all rollup. I also loved being able to people watch.
These are my photos from the Saturday set up. As you can see I simply love shooting guys pushing their bikes about.
