Recommended Posts

Very new in japan and I would like to purchase a push bike for my own transport to get around osaka as I wont be buying a car EVEN THOUGH its really cheap cos Im going back home after 3 months

My question is where can I buy a 2nd hand bike in Osaka area as I dont really wanna buy a new bike (no point) as im leaving it anyway.

Had a look at the local kansai paper no bike available for sale

Cheers!

There are THOUSANDS of bike shops all with 2nd hand bikes for sale 5 -6,000 yen for re-built ones. Just walk around a few blocks and you'll find one for sure.

Alterantively, you could "find" an unlocked (read: unloved) one on Saturday night/Sunday morning after a night on the grog...

You don't wanna do that especially when your a foreigner.

Justin, I have a little story about that, not sure if I told you. A mate of mine did just that and the cops were waiting at the train station for him that night he returned from work. Never think no one is watching. When a bike goes missing and you suddenly appear riding a newly sprayed bike, unfortunately they always suspect the foreigners first.

Bwahahahaha! Why didn't I get caught... wow in the first year I was here I must've stolen about 10 bicycles (after a long night out in Shinsaibashi) ALL of which ended up being thrown into the Yodogawa!! ;)

B-b-b-b-b-baaaaaad to tha bone...

cant you get a car for about 200,000 yen or less with about a few months of shaken left? thats what i would do and just junk it afterwards or sell it

we use to do the bike thing before, just ride it from the train station to close where i live then just leave it over there. this was back when i wasnt in the airforce yet.

    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
    • I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium
    • It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:
