went to japan for couple days, saw some neat bikes, my fav's the ones i would call original choppers, singles stripped down and low budgeted custom/modded. prolly call the rat bikes now. lots of big scooters, different makes. the riding style is spread your knees as far out as u can when riding a scooter. saw a few harley sportys, all were full on customs, and about 3 o 4 motards, no huskys tho. this bike was parked so got a pic, notice the supertrapp, which due o their abundence i would say is the official can of tokyo.
That's an interesting mix of parts! I read quite a few motorcycle blogs and there are some very original special builders in Japan. Notice that the bicycle next to the Yam has it's forks on backwards... Sounds like you had a good time over there - I'd love to go, especially to bring back a suitcase full of special parts for my Japanese-spec Kawasaki!
they are expert bicycle riders, they ride on the sidewalk or the street. all the motorbikes are loud.
i did too, so i went. got permission from 'the one who must be obeyed' on the phone at lunchtime thursday and left friday morning. actually went to see this band
When i had a TW200 i did a search for some stuff and found tons of crazy Japanese customer jobs, those guys go big. "custom TW200 japan" in google brings piles of those crazy things...
the band is 'the let's go's', they opened for 'the milkies'. i think the guys were there for the lets go's and the gals were there for the milkies the 5,6,7,8's been around for awhile, at least..hahha
