Haha. Like musical instruments. Carburation makes for instant throttle response. No way you could play a tune on my lumpy v-twin.

I see more than my fair share of guys using their Harley exhaust as a horn while lane splitting.
This is just next level stuff.

Until I can fix the broken wire to the horn on my XR650L, that's that I have to do up in the hills too. Some people on dirt roads are totally unaware that there might be something faster stuck behind them as they slowly bounce over the rocks and stuff. And they always seem to go right down the middle, making it kind of tricky to squeeze by on one side.

What's up with all the masks?

The Japanese are a very astute society, they wear masks to either protect others from getting sick or preventing themselves from getting sick. I assume in this video most of them are wearing it to put a barrier between themselves and all the exhaust fumes spitting out from the melodic revs.

It is not uncommon for Japanese to wear masks in the subway, restaurants, etc in daily life (aside from Covid-19).

Weird how the two guys with disc brakes couldn't get it to work.

No judges comments or scores. How do we know who won.

I saw similar talents in the campground at the Magny Cours WSBK race in 2018. More heavy metal style though!

In this case, its a fashion statement as well as covering their identities

 

[Blankpage]

You'd think that custom style would have caught on with a small fraction of riders in NA. It looks hideous but so do rat bikes.

I choose the black bike.

Their custom culture is super interesting and unique.

They have a close cousin of the sport bike variety.
