Ha!  Excellent.  I like the little helmet, too!
 
Goggles (or Doggles) are important, as pets can't exactly tell us when something has scratched their cornea.  I wish I'd been the guy who came up the the idea of goggles for dogs.  I might be able to afford a custom Alembic now!

Not exactly, but I know that just to license a big bike is big $$$ in that country!

Hi John, Doggles is nice word! LOL!
 
Hi Olie, Some of list prices of HD in Japan are following.  
 
XL883   SPORTSSTAR 883 ------- 927,000yen  
FXD     DYNA SUPERGLIDE ------- 1,660,000yen
VRSCDX  NIGHT ROD SPECIAL - 2,220,000yen
 
If you don't have any license now and want to get big bike license in driving school, it will cost about 120,000yen.

Hi Toshiaki, those prices are actually about the same as in the US. If I converted it correctly that XL883 comes out to about 7800 us dollars.
