A day at the races, Keirin style

u won 8000yen, nice :D

We accidentally both bet on the same pair and both won the same! Bet on riders in their early to mid 30s. A balance of relative youth and experience(?)

i dream of one day getting it on with a "slightly glamorous woman"

Very
Nice!

What Camera did you use?

There is a video I made here - let's see if this link works

I bow before I get on my bike too!

Thanks, Panasonic DMC LX2, couple of years old but still highly recommended.

Ok, I'm impressed with the lovely strong colours.
Thanks.

Awesome, I wonder if pro tracks like that one have open days.. Looks like an amazing surface

They do I believe.

Cool thread, great pics, nice anchor!

Aren't Anchors shit? I Bridgestones and Anchors are always quite cheap when you see them listed on the blogspot sites. I do, however, like the idea that you can get one custom made if you want.

^^ are they wearing some sort of body armour/padding under their jerseys?

Yeah.. lots of crashing :S

Anchors aren't shit.There's loads of them and quite easy to get hence them being cheaper. As there is also lots of them about it would also indicate that they are very popular, therefore being reputable

Here is something I just found whilst packing for a move. I picked it up when I went to the New Years' Keirin Races in Tokyo this past winter. I just scanned it in for you all.

i love it!

Haha, cool

Once I unpack at my new address I'll scan in some of the other stuff I picked up. There is really detailed info about the riders, such as what gear ratio they are riding.

their age, weight, gear ratio.... yeh, they love all that info!

and if they are really good they can get a star next to their name, or double circle :)

awesome thread - well done motoko
