Good morning!
Lovely day, isn't today? I am Tomochin!

Where's the fashionable bikers...?

Soon, Tomochin found a young stylish guy who just got brand-new XL1200L yesterday.

Wow! really brand-new !
Beautiful indeed !

Hey, let me check your fashion.
I love your hairstyle, I think this is cute.

Well, what is the main point of your fashion, today?

Point?
Just...I chose tight-fitting fashion.

I also value "tight-fitting" in fashion,
Look, this leather wear just fits him. Cool.
Black wear and black bike, going together well.

Wooow! What a nice couple!

This couple did second meeting participation.
The husband's FLHR and the wife's XL1200S, she keeps owning it for a decade.

Could you tell me the main of your fashion?

This Ramones "Rabbits" T-shirt
Look! This is real signature! The Ramones!

Is this real? The signature of the Ramones?

Yes!

May I lick this with my tongue?

Don't do that!

This is very cute, studs on your belt.

Oh, good jacket you are wearing.

Good color...
It's difficult to wear clothes with such color.

I think so.

Both of you have good sense of fashion.

It's wonderful to come to such place by a date.
I envy you. I would like to be married couple like you.

I usually never see such many Sportsters....
I am very impressed....

This couple came here riding in tandem.

This is good, the white seat is suitable for the color of the body.

Ragged old bike...

No, It has a warm feeling.

I would like to check your fashion,
This black leather casket, black boots and black belt, they are nice coordinated.

Thank you.

Do you ride a bike?

No. I am on the backseat every time.

Oh, you are very close....
I'm jealous!


Next couple, they said that they were classmates in junior high school.

Does your bike have a special point?

Well, my bike is still almost stock...
So...Oh, this thing is twin to my girl's one.

Hey, do you try to make me envy it?
Give me a break!

My bike has no windshield like this.
How does it work?

It works well, small stones and others never hit me.

Yeah, sometime you face a difficult situation when you ride without it.

The same way as my boyfriend does, I put three headlights on my bike.

Indeed...cool...

What is the point of your fashion, today?

This shirt looks like old clothes. I like this.

It's difficult to make a flannel shirt fit for girls.

You devised well.

I did.

Cute.

Your shoes are very suitable for the color of the clothes.

And other things, bandanas.

Both of you arranged the same bandanas. It must be nice.


Hope their fashion help you.

I am very glad because I could see such a lot of Sportster friends.

"Like a Wind !!!"

KOBE Sportster meeting was a huge success!

[Caption]

The highest number ever, the total exceeded 700!


[Body text]

For Sportster owners, CAN COFFEE MEETING (known as CCM!) has become routine events. CCM!s are now held in many parts of Japan, and here Kobe is the birthplace of the CCM!s. Surprisingly,Kobe CCM! faced the 12th times this year.

This year, the place of meeting returned to "Kobe wine castle" where is familiar to most Sportster owners. Participants came from, to say nothing of the Kansai area, Kyushu, Tyubu, and finally Tohoku area. They showed their enthusiasm for

Kobe CCM!.

This time, Charles-san who organizes the Sportster meeting in the Netherlands and his wife Monique-san visited to Japan for participation, as a special guest. Then,the number of participation on this day was 709 motorcycles that was the

highest ever. This gave us a realization of that this event was reaching the world scale.

Best of all,smiles of all participants were impressive. Not only participants,but also the management staff enjoyed the meeting. Such their activity seems to make Harley-Davidson riders more energetic.

I have decided to come again. With my XL1200R ,of course.


①
Charles-san was presented from organizer Jonny with a gift who has come all the way from Holand to Kobe.
It was one of the highest points of the meeting.

②
"VIRGIN HARLEY" stickers are offered to sell as a way of supporting the charity of Foundation for Orphans from Automobile Accidents. Normally, they are given out free of charge, but It's nice if it could be of some help.

③
Taking a pictures of the group photo was an exciting time. Check this out a great number of Harley riders. Why dont't you come to CCM!s of every part.

④
To Nana who came here riding on her 883, Jonny presented award of merit (this is it on her back shouldering. Sentences are written by Kansai dialect.).

KOBE Sportster meeting is just around the corner !

KOBE Sportster meeting, is also called KOBE CCM (Can coffee meeting) will be held October 11th.
I hope it will be sunny day.
