Sometimes the most unexpected of nights....

.....turn into the best!
Having finished work and had some dinner I decided to pop 'into town' for a quick beer.
As is normal I took my bike, it makes me feel a little bit healthy before having a beer!
As I cut through, and emerged, from Nishikigoi no Sato's car park a large group approached from my left. The first face a recognised emerging from the darkness was Kenji Tani, then Mitsunori Isa, then Futoshi Mano (Dainichi), then Hisashi Hirasawa (Marudo). Within seconds my bike had been swept beneath me by Yoshiyuki Hirasawa (Marusei) who I'd been with just a few hours before and he proceeded to cycle up the hill.
In the tidal wave I was suddenly going the completely opposite direction with the breeders and a group of Malaysians who were with Tani san.
Having been in Malaysia just a few months ago, follow this link for all the posts from Malaysia - http://www.niigata-nishikigoi.com/search/node/malaysia - it was very interesting to meet up with some more dealers from that country.
A couple of hours of rather drunken karaoke ensued but it was, as ever, fun for sure and far from the quiet Monday night I'd anticipated.
