This young couple were enjoying a pleasant day out in the Tokyo winter sunshine.

if these two belong to a gang, it's a gang i'd like to belong to: it seems they're having the time of their life.

Hi Marlof. Thanks for looking in again. I'm very happy that you keep visiting me here! Yes, the fear of motorcycle gangs in Japan is probably founded in some truth, but is a little overdone, I think. These two were certainly very willing and co-operative photo subjects.
