Why did you choose this picture as the cover page of your homepage?
When I did part time job at the cafe shop,the shop was also fishing tools shop of fish bass.
One morning I met a guy who rides on a Sportster almost same looking my Sporty, stopping at the signal,
Sportsters were not popular at that time, It was rare to see, but one Sporty was stopping in front of me.
In addition he had a fishing rod
He was riding a Sportster with a fishing rod on his bike.
You met him,coincidentally?
I thought this was big chance and I talked to him from his behind.
I said "If you have a time, let's drink coffee or somefhing? I know good caffee"
Oh,it's hitting on !
Then I begun Sportster meeting with him.
This picture expresses the situation at that time.
Awesome!
The beginning was ...like two of us, if we could get together Sportster lovers, it will be fun! Even if Sportsters were not popular in Japan.
So we decided start the meet and begun calling to join the meet.
Did they often hold bike meets in those days?
In those days , usually meetings were held by motor company.
But they were so stereotypes or typical types meets of "HARLEY-DAVIDSON"
We are just ordinary people, we like motorcycles, and we just like Sportsters.
I wanted make a meeting for riders like me.
Now let's take a look this picture of CCM 1st.
In 1999.
Old atmosphere. Picture of 1999.
Digital cameras were not popular.
There is no SNS at that time.
I sent letters to bike magazines
"Sportster riders join us!"in small article.
Then they found it,small article. About 20 Sportsters came here from Kansai region.

It has grown too big so we need a lot of people's help
Many people are cooperating as staff.
Well,this is what happened.
Two of staff are dating secretly ,
Suddenly they said they would get married.
Oh,also I have been joining as a staff.
I don't have any experience like that. Disappointing!
