Ritmo Sereno in Japan

[JJ Cerilli]

Here are few photos from a shop about 1.5 hours outside of Tokyo, Japan. I stopped there briefly last week in between customer visits.

Unfortunately, "Ritmo" was not there, and his mechanic spoke limited English.

They are billed as a "Euro Motorcycle Shop" and basically restore cafe Beemer's and Guzzi's. They get their parts and donor bikes from the LA area.

He has 4 mechanics and also serves Lily coffee! Some really nice work as you can see by the photos! Who knew there was a market for a shop like this in Japan!

They seem to have beautiful stuff. I was interested in an exhaust for my G/S and tried emailing, but never got an answer. Language barrier I guess :cry
