It looks like Genuine Scooter Company will be releasing a new scooter. I don't know what they are thinking, I mean their moto has been an all steel, manual shift scooter. Most of the people that stop by my little piece of the internet world know that I ride a scooter, it just happens to be that it iis made India and a copy of the Vespa with some much needed improvements. Scooter people, well, are different than most. Well on second thought, maybe not, but we do feel strongly about our scooters and usually take a companies word on things like their beliefs and business practices. Here's what Genuine has to say about their only product line, the Stella.

What sets Genuine Scooters apart from the rest?
We didn't call the company "Genuine" for nothin'! We're the real deal. We are real scooter people. We worked on developing and enhancing this product for almost two years. We've got more experience in the industry than most and we understand the needs of consumers. In fact, our management team is made up of people from the dealer level, the wholesale level and the consumer level.

Well it seems that times have changed. Genuine is going to be releasing a twist-n-go model as seen below. Now I am not a business man or a scooter sales guy, but what in the hell?

Here is the offical press release, let's just hope this product is not. :-)

Yuko has sent me a video of Daichi talking! I am so happy to hear him since I have been here at home while they are in Japan for about 6 weeks. Click on the link below to open the video. You might need to press pause on your video player to spool the video before it will play smoothly.

Here are some more pictures of Daichi from Japan.

Here are some new pictures of Daichi that I got from Yuko a couple of days ago.

Well, I have finally done it. I have upgraded the backend system that make Japanish.org possible. I have moved from MovebleType 1.6 to MovableType 3.2. Now I know you are wondering if this will be an improvement or not for you, the reader. I am sure it will as this new system will allow Yuko and I to do more and better things. Stay Tuned!

I am finally back! Well I found this quote of the day and it struck me funny. Or was I stuck by funny?

A man took his wife deer hunting for the first time. After he'd given her some basic instructions, they agreed to separate and rendezvous later. Before he left, he warned her if she should fell a deer to be wary of hunters who might beat her to the carcass and claim the kill. If that happened, he told her, she should fire her gun three times into the air and he would come to her aid. Shortly after they separated, he heard a single shot, followed quickly by the agreed upon signal. Running to the scene, he found his wife standing in a small clearing with a very nervous man staring down her gun barrel. "He claims this is his," she said, obviously very upset. "She can keep it, she can keep it!" the wide-eyed man replied. "I just want to get my saddle back!"
