Oh hai! We has Sars. And other Japanese motorcycle oddities

GrandJDM covers the wacky world of Japanese automotive modifications. And apparently those wacky tastes are also making the move into motorcycles. My favorite part of the above photo is that they are wearing masks to protect their lungs from pollution… yet are wearing short sleeves and no helmet. Apparently this trend is called bosozoku, a subculture/gang (lol) of motorcycle riders that modify their bikes illegally, by (gasp!) removing the mufflers. Watch out Hell’s Angels… here come the boso boys!
