Yup, you read that right. We are not just all about mph and Easter Standard Time anymore. Kilometers, the metric system, driving on the left side of the road and the Hiroshima Toyo Carp will be common conversation now. The Motor Club has spawn across the globe. Junji Nadano joins The Motor Club from Hiroshima, Japan. We are very excited to have him as part of our Club. Brian and I know Junji-san from his 3 year work venture in the United States at our sister company, Nishikawa Engineering of America. While he was here in the States he did not ride bikes. But within the past 2 years in Japan he has become obsessed with building his own bikes and riding them like crazy. Here is a picture of Junji-san after a 200km ride near Hiroshima. (check out the Stans Alpha wheelset!)
His other bikes include a custom built Kona hardtail that he likes to use for Trails:

Here is an old picture of Junji-san when he was here in the states....living LARGE!
And another picture of him having a Brew with the Diesel:
Again, we love the idea of having Junji-san in The Motor Club and look forward to hearing all about his adventures from the other side of the Earth!! Welcome to The Motor Club Junji-san!!!!!!
((Junji-san after group ride with a few other fellow Nishikawa Rubber employees who Brian and I have worked along side, Spike-san is second from left in the Wheels-in-Motion jersey, Junji-san is in the middle and Matsuura-san is second from right.
