| Today, 16 July 2006, I will begin my new Honda Transalp diary, just writing down things that occured, adding pictures as available and keeping everyone posted of what's going on with my new / old bike. For the beginning just some data: Honda Transalp 400ccm Model 1992 40.ooo kilometers (yes, no mistake, but doesn't it look good?) new Bridgestone tires front and rear engine completely overhauled some (real) minor scratches which I will take care of I think (and hope) I made a good deal. Time will show! As for now I am quite pleased with it. |

| 15 July 2006 Got my Honda Transalp today. The dealer did a real good job on it! Went to the dentist, just a 35 kilometer ride, but here in Japan a longer trip. After more than 2 years without motorcycle - I DID enjoy it! And summer vacation is coming up next week, guess I will take a couple of days leave and just go somewhere. More later........... |
24 September And I got my new side-cases from Germany and put them with the rack on the bike. Pretty good deal compared with the price I would have had to pay in Japan. I mean, at least they are Hepco&Becker - one of the best producers of panniers in Germany. Took me almost 2 hours to get everything done - but it looks pretty good! |

| 16 November 2008 Almost 2 years have passed since I got my Honda TransAlp. A lot has happened, a lot of enjoyable times came up, sometimes less enjoyable ones. But my TA was with me most of the time. The number one event was of course the Hokkaido touring last year during the summer vacation. This year I couldn't go, but had a great time during shorter trips like Tottori as well as to Kazurabashi in Kochi-ken. Plans are for another Hokkaido trip next summer ... if time and money as well as health permit!! |

| And again one year is over. My Honda TA took not just me to quite some places, last was Kyushu during Golden Week in May. Today 4 July 2009 I got new handguards from ACERBIS as well as new progressive fork springs mad by the German company WIRTH. And with those new fork springs you really can tell the difference. Was my TA handling like a waterbed before - well, now it is a BIKE - no doubt!!! Here are some pictures of the hand guards: |
