So much to take in at the Yokohama show. I spent too long looking at the rides and missed out on the artists and vendors. Here are 3 guys that many of you will recognize. I love their artwork.

Met alot of people at the show, everyone was great. Here are some random shots, didn't want to get into anyones face so just some side views and some of Grant in action, he wasn't shy with his camera, check out where he positioned himself for the ride in!
Mochi kicked his bike over so I could hear the motor running. This bike has gone through some very cool changes. I like where it has ended up. Mochi, good to see you again.
I didn't have a chance to speak directly with Gak from Hawgholic, but did manage to snap a pic of him and then lost site of him. I'm a big fan of the bikes he puts together. Check out this Knuckle, awesome. More Hawgholic pics to come later.
On the way to Yokohama, my brother and passed through the Tokyo Station and stopped at this stand up sushi bar. Yes, you stand while you order and eat. Good fun and good food.
In between taking photos I tried to stop by and connect with as many people as possible, no where near enough time though. Here's a few shoots of Tom and his Junk-Motor parts. Tom, great to meet with you!
This is my best imitation of Sparetime.jp. I've always been inspired by the photos I've seen there. I hope to share what I have shot with everyone as well, here are a few bikes. I'm going to post a lot more when I get back to Toronto next week.
Here are some more photos from the preparation area. It was awesome to look into the crowd as the large Exhibition Hall doors were opened and closed by Mooneyes staff as each guest rolled into the hall. What a rush it must have been for each of the guests.
