Long Distant Riders in Japan- 1950's

Friday, November 26, 2010


Helmet and eye protection were not required to wear at the time so only serious riders wore them.

You can clearly see the thick belts were worn by them. I remember hearing that my grandfather was wearing the similar thing when he was riding his Lilac. They wore them in order to avoid getting gastroptosis. I have no idea if it was effective.
