[L・O・C]
LEGEND OF CLASSIC
HISTORIC MOTORCYCLE ROAD RACING SERIES
This time, it was my first time participating in a race in two years,
I was also involved in making racing suits for my teammates.
It was a particularly emotional day.

Kubota-san's sharp riding.
“Jee!!”
“Jejejee!!!”

Next, entry in a famous car
A genuine British car with a single cylinder!
Until last time, our company Kadoya ON THE RACE <Black/White>
He was wearing a racing suit,
There is also a plan to make suits for the entire team.
From this third game
I decided to wear a freshly made made-to-order suit.
The two-tone red and white colors looked beautiful on the racetrack.

This is Seita-kun.
A racing suit with colorful primary colors
I haven't lost any character.
Your sense shines.
It looked great with the machine.
This is [2 piece type]
Mr. Kubota's suit earlier is a one-piece type.
In the first place, there are some rules when it comes to matching racing suits.
No questions asked about the upper body, everyone has the same color design
[TRIDE MOTORCYCLES] logo on the front
The [KADOYA RACING] logo and each person's nickname are on the back.
The lower body (pants) has two lines on both sides.
The color of the pants is up to you...
So this is Arisama.

That's so cool~

Paddock just before taking to the race grid
Tension and excitement are high
Before the race, the atmosphere is tense.
This happy shot that you rarely see
The parent and child in the back are the Kubota family.
Hide-kun and Ruka-chan
Hide-kun is
Final inspection of coveralls? ,,not
I knew that my father would be coming over soon, so I prepared.
Luka-chan is
I'm wearing my dad's straw hat and cheering with a smile on my face.
"That's nice."
And the two-shot men are Koyama-kun and Okamoto-kun.
Okamoto-kun, Koyama-kun's local senior,
I always support Koyama-kun before the performance.
I mean
I am also indebted to Okamoto-kun.
His favorite machines are the tri-tuned Triumph and BSA Gold Star.
Although I have not participated in the race
His running is sharp, maybe someday...! !

The support members help ease my nervousness before the actual performance.
There was a calm atmosphere surrounding each machine.
Crouching down alone
What on earth am I doing? . .

Who supports Seita-kun?
Yoshi, also known as Yoshida-kun
A die-hard Torayaro who rides two Triumphs with Tried tuning.
thus
Until the last minute before the race begins
Tried's friends are running around here and there.
They fully support us.

About the starting grid
It's this smile.

on the other hand
This person has finally appeared
The arms say it all.
OLD TRIUMPH SPECIALIST
Mr. Oishi, head of TRIDE MOTORCYCLES

I just can't push the engine to start properly.
Can you see me with teary eyes?
He flew straight out of the audience seats.
Mr. Oishi pushes the machine all by himself.
Initial action in one shot...
It was helpful. . .
“It’s true, everything is perfect.”
And then, start! !





The final is 6 laps
When I start running, my head is already blank
Run through the course with ease
Time flies. . .

The race is over
The tension that had been building up until now seemed to be a lie.
With a pleasant feeling of fatigue
A sense of relief comes over me.
That should be it,
Next to me is Tride's mechanic.
Keita-kun is here
From the machine to my mentality
Because they supported me. . .
For participation in this race
Three machines other than Mr. Kubota's machine until the day before.
Worked through the night
As is
Without sleep, this whole day is for us
Let me run around...
I am truly filled with gratitude.
Seita-kun had to give up the run midway due to machine trouble.
Mr. Kubota, Mr. Koyama, and I
We were able to get on the podium in each class.
Racetracks are different from general public roads.
Because they compete at full speed,
Small problems that don't usually occur on public roads occur every time.
There are unexpected good results,
It may end up with unexpected and disappointing results.
It's unique to racing.
Although it was a little disappointing
I will try my best to make this day my goal.
As a team
Something I seriously enjoyed
Most importantly.

An email I received from Seita-kun a few days before the race.
"Let's enjoy this day to the fullest"
I was encouraged by his words, and most of all...
This is the smile of both of us.
