ACCESSIGN JAPANESE CONTENT...ALMOST.
| LOOKING FOR A SOURCE OF RABBIT ITEMS! Let's face it Rabbit stuff is scarce. Parts and accessories for the vintage scooters of Japan is kind of a rarity, unless you are in Japan. Web sites are plentyfull with Japanese content related to the Fuji Rabbit Scooters. Why can't you find them because they are all written in Japanese.  |

| Translation tools work ...well almost There is this neat little translation tool on the web that can translate web pages written in various languages. Alta Vista has had this translation engin online for quite a while already. http://babelfish.altavista.com does a good job of translating Japanese to english... almost. |

You have to understand that the Japanese language is of a whole different structure. We talk in "subject verb adjective" mode whereas the Japanese are more like "adjective subject verb" so the translated phrase structure is often reversed, some words cant be translated and others are translated all wrong. You'll find out the the Japanese word Suzuki translates to english as "Sea Bass". hmmm, "hey, you drive a fish". But considering the impossibility to read Japanese when you have no clue like me, this makes all these characters make sense. If you plan on using this tool to surf the Yahoo! Japan auctions, you can actually find what is Rabbit related, what it is, how much it's going for and how much time is left to the auction. So more power to you. |
| Yahoo! Japan - Auctions.. one of many Japanese sites The last time I went to look at the Yahoo Japan! Auctions web site, there were many Rabbit items. If you own a 1950's Rabbit, parts become very available. Junior S-82s are a find in America. Parts are unbelievably hard to find for these babies on this continent. But last I look on the Yahoo Auction on Yahoo Japan, someone was parting out a complete S82. |
