"SAYONARA SPEED TRIBES" . . . . FROM WAY BEFORE THE JAPANESE CHOPPY SCENE.
I really know relatively little about them other than they were once upon a time legit crazy bastards, the bikes, the mass rides, constant blues with the fuzz, they were fightin, fartin and fucking their way across Japan's major urban centres, I think a bunch of whities in the U.K, Europe, the Staes and Australia thought they were just soft boys playing dress ups . . . . how wrong could you be, don't go mistaking the Boso Boyos for New Romantics, they were their very own real deal and definitely not to be fucked with, that much I do know. Anyhoo, check this shit out and then go buy the entire movie when the One World Studio dudes release the sucker a bit later on . . . . hot in the city tonight !!!!

When I was in Japan as a kid in the 50's I think I only remember ever seeing only cops on motorcycles. Only heard about these gangs from what I've seen online...recently at Shinya's they mentioned 'Bozozoku style' bikes. Had to Google it. Yeah, I guess a lot has been going on in the last 50 some odd years since I was last in the land of the rising sun...hahaha....
ReplyDeleteLaz, I only found out about the Bozo thang care of the Pommie music/fashion mag 'The Face' in the early eighties, there wasn't anything like it then or now, crazy folk those J-models.
