Tokyo Motorcycle Rides Episode 4 | The Mask and The Lockdown

Tokyo's 'soft lockdown' has completed it's first full week. Anybody else stir crazy yet? We Ride! Today we are riding the Vespa into the normally bustling neighborhood of Ikebukuro for a little fresh air and a coffee to go! We'll get into a little discussion about the state of affairs here in Tokyo including the contested topic of Masks and the lockdown. Hop on!
While we as a global whole are still trying to make sense of what's unfolding and getting used to a new normal, I hope you too are finding more about yourself and and what it means to have family and great friends in these tough times!
Ikebukuro is a one stop megahood for great food, shopping, entertainment (Kids and Adults; ahem) the Pokémon store and so much more.

Just a little clarification regarding the masks. They are not designed to protect you from the virus. Unless your using a specific type of mask that’s been specifically designed and fitted to your face, like what we use in the medical field, they are no good in keeping the virus out. These masks are to contain your sneezes, coughs and thus creating less fomites (vectors that the virus lives on, like sneezing on a hand rail and thus contaminating it). Any type of mask and mask material, including cotton, will help with this. Wearing a mask protects others from you, not the other way around :)

[@creativecooktravely886]

Thanks pvg from bike pov its interesting to see

[@BrusselsDude]

9:17 The B Ikebukuro is the hotel I stayed in last May. Ikebukuro is a cool part of Tokyo with lots of shops and restaurants. It's also easy to get anywhere from there because it's on the Yamanote line.

[@annmark9150]

Thanks for the ride!

[@rendi8529]

I !like to see more vids of you talking to yourself and riding your machine. Did not know you Can cook anything at all, lol and how do we know you went shopping? We saw no store!

[@antoinep9733]

Tokyo in lockdown looks like Auckland on a busy day 😂. ATM with our strict lockdown rules you could longboard down the motorway, it’s almost empty.

[@adlibao76]

Corona VIP entrance haha

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

I like that bus at 1:15, very cute

[@GeckoOnTheWall]

Man I wish I could go out for coffee...

[@trevorrandom]

[@Slot1Gamer]

I have 6 brothers and am glad we are all grown up now

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Slot1Gamer phew! Yeah my mom had 8!

[@Tastychronicles]

By the way, I do enjoy people watching in Tokyo through your Peter von Gomm JAPAN and Peter von Gomm Live channels. Keep up the good work PvG.

[@sixtiesfreak4858]

The good news is that the virus hotspots are cooling off so to speak. Flattening the curve. I'm in Louisiana and it is pretty much like Tokyo. We can come and go but most are out of work and takeout only. Love your vids btw.

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Sixtiesfreak thank you!

[@astroboy3507]

So true I'm not into masks but they fit good and properly the black ones look cool too!!!! 😎 Sorry Peter but your mates mad!!!! 6 kids!!!!! 😛

[@mickyv6273]

....to Bee or Not to Bee Centered...

[@51941028]

We miss Japan so much but thanks to you we are vicariously traveling the streets of Tokyo. Thanks for the ride!

[@peterwells5424]

Thanks Peter. Great perspective for me to be able to see Tokyo from your bike. I’m in Nagoya and the soft lockdown condition is similar. I’m still working so get to ride my bike a little. I always enjoy your work.

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Peter Wells cheers Pete! Yeah you know the sitch. 😀

[@Tastychronicles]

Hey PvG, I've heard the same thing about parenting, being a home school teacher, and teleworking. You are not alone.

[@jason_from_canada]

I find myself more centered and relaxed riding along with you on Black Beauty or the Speed Triple. Serenity Now!! 😜 Thanks as always PvG! 😎👍🛵🏍

[@BronsonWally]

Cool, cheers from Canada !!

[@briannotbryan3888]

Nice ride around Ikebukero on a beautiful day. I guess these days you are a true Kamen Rider 😷 🏍️. And I'm suppose Josh calls it Blue "tama"😅.

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Brian notBryan Ha! Close!!

[@ellobo4211]

Ah awesome .these videos are relaxing to watch..

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Peter great vlog as always sir !

[@mathcad1985]

vespa envy lol

[@SpookyVonSweets1]

I've always wanted a Vespa.

[@angelr8910]

Hey PVG, Great video as always. Love the ride around on the bike. Omg I would hang myself with six kids at home. Rosie is enough and she is just one three yr old. Thanks again!!! I pray u and your family stays safe!!!

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Angel R right? 6 kids! Phew.

[@rosienakanishi5887]

Hi Peter, my husband and I have enjoyed watching your stream!!! We have family in Fussa City Tokyo, they have a bike shop there for over 55 years. They are so knowledgeable in motocross, repairs and painting bikes and paint customizing helmets ... It would be great if maybe you can do a clip on their shop. Let know if you would like their information... I’m sure they will welcome you with open arms...

[@forestsnowfall]

This is a great series. I was supposed to be on vacation in Tokyo as I'm typing this but regrettably the trip had to be canceled. I was going to stay at a hotel near Otsuka station for a while and then a ryokan for a couple days. Was really looking forward to experiencing the ryokan, but I'll try again late this year. Seeing the streets of Tokyo from a driver's POV at least helps me feel like I'm there in some small way. Also, your background music choices are top-tier.

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

CharlesS Thanks Charles! Sorry to hear about your trip! Get in line, loads of us had to bag travel plans sadly. But we’ll still be here for your next trip!

[@gregorylawson5827]

Gonna be riding the Vespa or the Triple? The matte black color looks awesome on thew Vespa!

[@ramsessilent]

he will be on the vespa and i agree the black is awesome.

[@kreature6618]

It's all the tit-bits of your videos that really make them special - cheers Mr von Gomm.

[@maryclairekalamafoni9524]

Six kids! Six kids! He's not a Mormon! My husband was the14th of15 kids and I r Dee esr

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Maryclaire Kalamafoni WOWZERS!

[@ellobo4211]

You can do a cooking show with wife and your son..

[@callielynn6179]

That seems scary driving with a bike on those streets. You are brave for sure‼️ Do you think we will peak again with the Covid? And by the way, did you see John‘s new food video?

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Callie Trujillo I’m no expert on Covid but I hope it doesn’t peak and repeak!

[@callielynn6179]

Peter von Gomm JAPAN, Here in Washington state we are still on lockdown. We got a stimulus of $1200 each adult. If we’re closed another month same thing. For each child it is $500. I’m still working because I work in the ER. 😁✌🏽

[@dgratale]

I know you have a Triumph Speed Triple, but what was the bike ahead of your scooter?

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

Dom Gratale The black bike? A Harley

[@STEPUUUHHH]

Nice color by the way. Did you grade that or straight from camera? All the best Peter.

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

STEVEN PURBA thanks Steve! Glad you noticed.😀 I tweaked the color a bit in post. I use final cut. It makes viewing these videos a lot more enjoyable wouldn’t you agree?

[@STEPUUUHHH]

Peter von Gomm JAPAN yes ! very enjoyable! 👍 Looking forward for the next ride, Stay stafe!

[@themontephone875]

On your shield Did you lose a silver bolt

[@PetervonGommJAPAN]

The Monte Phone Thanks for heads up, let me check!! 😅

[@gaiazero598]

Are you the voice of Grey in MMZX Advent?

[@OntarioAndrews415]

[ Like ] :)

[@themontephone875]

Are you talking from your helmet Wait how did you respond so quick on livechat

[@jason_from_canada]

This was an edited video. Peter wasn't live on video, he was in the live chat for the premiere.

[@DJ-nn6vg]

PVG can’t you tell potential customers that you have a state of the art studio in your home that you can record remotely? Seems like you could be getting work from around the world.
