If you were expecting a nice shiny bike.... sorry! Just came back from Japan and what really stood out was how clean everything is! The roads do not have a single piece of trash or cigarette butt anywhere (and the Japanese people smoke A LOT!) Cars are all shiny and spotless... in 6 days walking in big cities like Osaka and Kyoto, I didn't see one dirty car. And this one made my day! It was actually delivering cement to a site when I snapped the picture. I have never seen one so clean! All construction trucks are also spotlessly clean!

must be nice, I see people throw cigarette butts out the window daily, and other trash almost as often 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I know there are some very efficient truck wash stations being built in China that use a fraction the water but it still takes a lot of water to keep everything that clean.

Wow that has to be the cleanest cement truck that I ever seen. It looks brand new.

There's a local local construction co. in the area that has a lot of heavy equipment, bulldozers, backhoes and such. A single owner owns the company and is very proud of all his equipment. You can always tell it's one of his pieces of equipment cause he chromes a lot of the big pieces of the equipment. And his employees wash his stuff every single day, they are spotless between jobs. Kinda cool seeing a chrome hood on a bulldozer!

If they still do this in Japan, I imagine you will soon be seeing trucks like these there too.   Oops - I see you have left there. My bad.

Nope, haven't seen those! Wow!
Maybe they roam in the bigger cities like Tokyo?

I've seen carnival sideshows with less bling. Keeping one of those clean would be a full-time job.
