Traffic on the highway and three riders that pull up beside me one riding a busa

and the others gixxer 600

(noisy) rev real high, and then take off doing wheelies down the shoulder of the highway,,its crazy because if a car would have pulled out they would have all been done for,, because like traffic was at a stand still in all three lanes because of construction so they decided to take the shoulder while wheeling ,, wat if someone else decided to do it to? but in a cage???

spells trouble, hope they made it all the way

I live in japan. this computer isnt big enough to tell all. some of the good stuff ive seem
1 People dressed like CHiP riding around on HDs.
2 Lots of smoking while riding. Most have some sort of astry mounted. some I seen have them welded on.
3 Bozozuku. The street gangs of riders. The ussually have 250s and 400s buzz bombs. The most rediculus customization. I cant describe it. They will take over intersections and do shriner circles and tricks of sorts to disrupt traffic. This is fertile ground for Yakuza recuiting here. they will ride in packs of 100 or so.
4 some of the bozozuku like to wear Kamikaze outfits while riding. Brown overall, leather helmets, googles, and white scraves. Think red baron.
5 you are allowed to park on the sidewalks here in Japan. You are legally supposed to push it. Yeah whatever. lots of riding on sidewalks. How to get to the front at a red light in the traffic jams. Sometimes the sidewalks are very usefull.
6 The highway cameras take pictures from the front, to get the drivers face and license plate. Bike only have rear plates. Game on. High speed runs anyone?
7 I work in an Hd shop here. and the cusomization is all wrong. Ive cant describ it. Twin cam with points. Kickstarters on TC. Suicide clutch on a TC. the list is endless here.
8 On the Tokyo elevated highways there is a sign i what to steal bad. (i live in Nagoya) On the 90 degree corners they have a sign of a motorcyle with the rider kneeing down and a line through it. It would look good in my apartment on the wall. $6 to ride on the highway though.
ill have to think of more

I saw a guy and his friend pull a wheelie for 3 miles all the way to the end of highway 526. I was praying that a cop would have caught him, but no luck.

Empty road up to the light, I was at the top of the hill and I saw him already at the light, I got up next to him and he was blipping the throttle every other second.

Saw some crazy nut today show that he didn't know how to ride too well... He wound the bike up to at least the limiter, then up shifted and didn't give it any gas and lugged it, then down shifted and almost threw himself over the bars, then he up-shifted and took off like a jet, and missed the next gear, and down shifted again.

*shrugs*

I pulled into a parking lot where a bunch of kids show off their rice rockets tonight. One guy walked up to me and asked if he could try on my jacket. He said that he was looking at one and wanted to find out how hot they are. I agreed thinking that I might be able to preach the safty thing to him. So he puts it on and then grabs my helmet. Before I knew it he was running around with my helmet and jacket rubbing his chest in a suductive manner to other cars passing by. I have to admit it was really funny. I just wish that he would have said something about grabbing my helmet.

I can't remember, it was before I was heavily into bikes so I never caught a name. Probably a GSXR or CBR or other squid-killer bike.
