Ken-san,

I really liked the RC30 video. Beautiful cinematography, especially the bike assembly part, of one of my favorite motorcycles.

I had the privilege of riding my friend Ota-san's Ducati F1 in Japan some years back. We went to Skyline Drive in Hakone and had a very good time.

Thanks for sharing; your website is very cool.

Ken-san,

That is a great photo image, your M-Paso with Fuji-yama in the background. Yes I have seen it many times when visiting Japan. On those trips I occasionally stayed at some on-sen but do not remember their names, sorry.

Also, when working for Nissan, I visited the company resort near Hakone, but I retired from Nissan Design America last year (here in San Diego), so my visits are finished for nonw.

Ota-san was a clay modeler at Nissan's Atsugi Design Center. Another colleague, Nakajima-san, is an enthusiast of Moto Guzzi. (He is a design executive, but there are several Italian motorcycle fans working for Nissan on both sides of the Pacific.)

Best regards, and please keep posting those interesting images,

Ken, You look, like Kamikaze pilot close that airplane! Looks great! Only Zero is missing...

We hope there are no more kamikazes!!!
Ciao

What do you mean?

Ken, You changed that foto to ANOTHER !!!

Please,
don`t mention the war.

It is just a MC Forum f the love of a model.

Nothing is related to Air Races and "Kamikaze".

I hate War.
I hate War Birds.
They are the destroyers, and slaughters.

And, "Kamikaze-attack" is a shameful act.
Any it doesn't cause the solution.
The dark only extends there.

Air Race is not War.
It is Sport.

They try and err to fly faster than anyone.
Convert the engine, tune it up, lighten the airframe, and cut the aerofoil tip.
Their inventiveness forms the Air Racer.

They challenge toward the limit.
The appearance is strong, fast, and beautiful.

My favorite Air Racer "Rear Bear"(race number 77) has the world record at 850 km/h!

Why do I participate in the race with Murayama-PASO?
because, I sympathize with their racing spirits.
because, I yearn to them.

persempre907, there is great Air Racer also in your country.

The world record at 709 km/h is established in 1934.
This seaplane world record has not been yet broken.

lets try to stick to the motorbikes and related subjects!
thankyou for sharing all the amazing paso and motorcycle stuff ken. really cool!
