I made my way up here last night, it is a 360km ride north of Tokyo.   
On my way up here I ended up following or chasing a car, and before I  
knew it I had run out of gas!!!!   No there are only gas stations  
every 50km on the highway, but I happened to run out about 500 meters  
before the next one. So it was not too hard to push it over and fill  
it up, thank god for that. I guess that I was just hbimg too much fun  
to look at the meter, at least now I know the range of the bike! Today  
I am doing some promotional work for the race at the local tv station  
in Sendai.
