    The idea of specifically choosing motorcycle as your Costco mode of transport is hilarious, but I suppose panniers beat lugging a bunch of bags on a train. Also, my brother did a foreign exchange program in Okinawa when he was in high school, and I’m often reminded of how he said his host-father pronounced Costco as “Co-su-tu-co”.

      That’s the japanese. They like to put foreign words into their own syllables. I call it katakana English.

      I don’t own a car and renting one for the day is stupidly expensive. I’d also have to drive a car on Tokyo streets and I’m not a fan of that at all, heh. With a bike, at least it’s not as claustrophobic.
