[Go touring!! vol.1] Photographer BON × Bike × DANG

BON, a photographer supported by DANG, has sent us some photos and a report on the bike touring he's been into lately!

DANG sunglasses seem to be a good match for touring as well.

Please take a look!

It all started with the Little Cub

I thought I'd never ride a motorcycle.

After I acquired a Little Cub from an elderly couple and serviced it myself, my first trip began with a round trip from Okayama to Tsuyama on the scooter.

The Little Cub has become a reliable companion not only on holidays but also during commuting.

A new bike and mid-distance touring

A motorcyclist friend invited me on a second tour to the sea near my home.

With the addition of a new bike, this was my first medium-distance tour.

Drip coffee while on a motorcycle tour - something I've always dreamed of.

The original route was planned to be 150km round trip, but we decided to stretch our legs and head north on the return journey from the west.

With a motorcycle you can easily stop by places that you might have passed by in your car.

On my third trip, I experienced such fun and covered 250km in one day.

While looking out at the Seto Inland Sea

For my fourth trip, I wanted to take a leisurely ride along the coast, so I chose a route with a view of the Seto Inland Sea.

A spectacular view point overlooking Mt. Daisen

Originally, I started riding the bike to get to work, but I've gradually customized it to the point where I can now enjoy riding it for medium distances.

The fifth touring trip was to Kagikake Pass, where you can see Mt. Oyama, which is 260km round trip from my house. A helmet is indispensable for motorcycles, and DANGSHADES is set for any weather. DANGSHADES, which even has night lenses that are perfect for night touring, is an essential item just like a helmet.

Six months have passed since I started riding motorcycles. Having survived one winter, I can now not only commute to work, but also live my daily life with these two small motorcycles and DANGSHADES.
