Bosozoku! Ftw!
i return to 2 wheels in september
It is a pretty stylized lookin' crew. So uniformed, and not ******-y like some of us sportbikers.
They almost look like outlaws...Which kinda kills the facade when you find out that they might be accountants and computer engineers...
what is the brand of the white helmet with the black visor, thats pretty sick.
I thought there is an asian sport bike gang for me to join
Zoom-Zoom
I didn't know that motorcycling used to be about emulating the style of a bygone era. The people that they're emulating were the equivalent, in those days, of the twat 905'ers that show off and call each other "bro". In 40 years there will be a group of kids dressing up in brightly coloured Joe Rocket leathers and riding CBRs calling each other "bro" in a "Turn of the Century Motorcycle Club".
This is one of the reasons I don't like clubs. It's more conformity. In this case, it's conformity to a style that these guys have read about in books and magazines... It's kind of a form of play-acting... Which is cool, as long as you know what it is and don't take it too seriously, like those guys who re-enact Civil War battles.

Whatever I just typed was probably meant to be humorous with a tinge of sarcasm, so, please take it that way. It's also not intended as a personal attack, so, don't take it personally. It is afterall, just a semi-anonymous post on the internet.
When I'm riding along with my friends in cages and I get/give the wave to other bikers, they think I'm throwing up 'motorcycle gang signs'
Whats the stig doing with you guys ?
I saw the Asian guy on the right lead a motorcycle gang once.
That's the funny thing about "fashion" or style.
Disco is even bigger now than it was before. People today, appreciated the fashion flops of yesterday, and you're right, anything that was ******'y in the past, all of a sudden is the latest vintage fad.
I agree.This is one of the reasons I don't like clubs. It's more conformity. In this case, it's conformity to a style that these guys have read about in books and magazines...

That's why I ride alone. I don't really understand the idea of riding in groups. You can't socialize while you ride...Only when you're posing at the local Tim Horton's...But that's not riding. Plus, I got sick of the whole "stand around your bike, and comment on each other's modifications, while pretending like it's not lame standing in a parking lot all night, or by the side of the street."
