Bosozoku lifestyle: Yamanashi police vs bosozoku
During my seek for bosozoku lifestyle videos I came across someone posting a series of videos about the police versus bosozoku. Apparently the problems were that big that it got big media attention and it even got its own tv show in 1992!
It is funny to see it from both sides: police getting prepared to stop the bosozoku and the bosozoku getting prepared to either mock the police or to bypass the roadblock.

Eventhough the bosozoku lifestyle should be very rough according to its image there may still be some softness in the bosozoku car stylers. During springtime half of Japan goes crazy for cherry blossoms since it marks the end of the winter and the start of a cycle. Then take for example this zokusha Toyota Mark II RX30 with cherry blossoms at the background:

I can only conclude some bosozoku car stylers still have soft spots. 😉

Bosozoku lifestyle: Motorcycle gangs in Tokyo
As promised in our poll: we’re trying to get in depth on the bosozoku lifestyle! 🙂
The only problem is that the subject is very wide, the bosozoku designation is dating back to the 50s and where should we start??
Well, I think we will start with this video I found on Youtube some time ago. It shows the golden era of the bosozoku gangs in Tokyo during the 80s and 90s with a nice ballad on the background:
Last weeks poll results
Almost unanimously was decided that we should add more in depth info on the bosozoku lifestyle! I already commented to Banpei it would be a tough job since it is a very wide topic! But surely we will see what will become of it! 😉
This week we return to the more simpler polls: Wings, Inside out or double handed? In other words: which exhaust of the week is your favorite?
Exhausts on this Crown look like wings
I really wonder which of these three will be the most popular… My personal favorite is the winged exhaust!
