the motorcycle trade

Tokyo, 2010.02.23
A curious thing happened today. I introduced two strangers, enabling a cross-Pacific motorcycle trade.
One friend in Toronto happened to know a guy looking for specific Japanese motorcycles. I took the details and passed it on to an avid rider I know who's been here a long time and knows a lot of guys interested in bikes. Sure enough, he knew someone who not only knew the bike that the Toronto buyer was looking for, but could source the first of the bikes that the buyer wants as soon as .. tomorrow.
It's a small and odd world.
