Some one's 45 dreams are coming true at CYLA Motorcycle Dept. in Gifu Japan, or they were October 2012.  I think this bike is on the road now.  Hope to see it at Joints this year.

A.G. in Gifu prefecture on the way to the beach races in Ishigawa, 08-27-12

August 26, 2012.  A.G. does not sleep much because he delivers papers in the early morning.  This does not stop him from going for rides in the actual morning when the sun comes up (after work for him).  Lucky for us, Yuka's motorbike was in the shop and she was driving=we get a ride to the beach races in Chirihara.  When A.G. gets tired though, he takes the wheel of the car, cranks the AC up and subjects my wife and I to the dangers of a sleepless driver...  and Yuka gives the old Kneebreaker a go.  The only stipulation is that A.G. has to get the it started.  (Note the left foot kick!)

A.G. and the Knee Breaker
