‘For the old days” sake Emman and me decided to do the 152 again. We met a Chuo 6:00 AM hit 152 from Suwa before 8:00.
152 goes along the river most of the way from Suwa.

Summer heat
The bikes – Ducati multistrada and mama Yamaha
The landslide which blocked us from doing 152 in 2010 was replaced by gravel road

It got quite hot towards noon. Couldnt stand it and had to ‘chill’ a bit
My view while chilling 
It was quite tempting to just jump in the nice cool water!
More cruising & twisties
Soba and coffee shop in the middle of almost nowhere
More cruising and more twisties!
Finally we got on to Tomei expressway and crusided back home. Nice one day ride.
