Bosozoku lifestyle: style your bicycle
Now this is hardcore bosozoku style! When you are too young to drive a zokusha or motorcycle you can always style your bicycle:
Zokuchari (bosozoku styled bicycle)
Some may already have guessed: chari is slang for bicycle. So merging zoku and chari together like zoku and sha creates the word zokuchari. 😉
What I really like about this bike is the godfather like horn mounted on the back of the bike!
btw: the official word for bicycle is jitensha

Airbrush of Aikawa Sho on a bosozoku van
Speedhunter Dino Dalle Carbonare posted this nice bosozoku van on Speedhunters yesterday!
The guy airbrushed on the back of the van is Aikawa Sho which is a famous actor. In contrary of the painting he generally acts yakuza roles. 😉
There is not much to say about this van, except that it was on the MSC Challenge round 12 held at Mobara.

After last weeks documentary on the Transfer Matyrs gang we have another documentary uploaded by 7000abcdefg.
This time the documentary is about the Gokuaku group and shot in their hideout during somewhere the 70s. What is great about this documentary is that 7000abcdefg used annotations to translate and explain everything about ranks, rules and backgrounds so you really get a good insight on the gang life.
There are some other really interesting documentaries on 7000abcdefg‘s page, but they have realy crappy sound. Either turn down your sound volume or just turn off your sound. 😉

I found this late 70s documentary about the Transfer Matyrs bosozoku gang on Youtube. It contains six parts and most of the documentary is about the life of the gang members!
Part 1:
Part 2:
Part 3:
Part 4:
Part 5:
Part 6:
The most striking thing was that I realized they are still driving the same old zokushas (Skyline C110 and C210, Laurel C130). The only difference is that nowadays those zokushas have a lot of FRP on it. 😉

Found some more back issues of Champ Road:
Back issues of Champ Road
These four back issues show a promising Soarer, Skyline Japan, Celica XX and a Mark II on its covers!
And on the inside: Iwahashi Kenitirou!
Back issues of Champ Road
A Champ Road without Iwahashi Kenitirou is like a Macchiato without the milk! 😉
