details, are you kidding me!?
ok so if your looking at this blog, you PROBABLY have seen brat style bikes..
anyway this is takami's xs (owner of brat style) I took this last year but figured its about time to post it up. I know some of you are tired of looking at the little ass pics on the web site. enjoy!
im don't want to blow ups dudes spot, but there are alot of "secret" parts on this thing. i have picked this bike apart in person, and believe me I did more than one double take. (21" honda trials front wheel, and brake, on a ceriani road race forks, internal throttle with a cable pull brake lever (that was cut down and re-welded on so clean that you cant even tell) then brazed on to the apes with the cable routed proper. thats pushing a remote reservoir for the disc.... peep the controls! its all the little details that makes bikes like this so dope.
this is shisha dog god of okinawa. (where takami is from) thats okinawa HOMETOWN PRIDE in the chiba area.
the little toggle switch on the shifter... NOS 100 shot!!........just kidding!

post with no pics....
todays post comes with no pictures...
why, you ask!? well i want it to represent what i got accomplished today.
NOTHING!
i went to the DMV at around 12:30 to straighten out more legal issues with registration on 2 of my bikes... "take a number" i was D-172 they were on d-23... after i waited and waited and waited, they told me "oh you need to go upstairs" to the other line... so i did, and i waited and waited. around 4:30, i said "FUCK THIS!!!!", and walked out.
did not even get done what i went there for in the first place.
trust me NEVER go to the dmv on an empty stomach it only makes things worse.
***** feel free to post comments on this post, as well as others. i like the feedback!******

my xs650 street tracker.
since this was taken Ive taken the tag, mirror and light off. I'm going to race the bike this season as is, keeping the internals of the motor stock. its got an ignition pipes and new carbs on it.
ill put 19's on it for the track. but other than that its done.
i figure its my first season, im racing against dudes who have been racing for years, and im on a tiny short track. less power would be even better.
for the street im building a new bike. motor is 100% WORKED!
is going to scream! im super pumped. just collecting the last of the parts i need to get it together.
more on that one and the other projects soon.
music and 80's ladies....
some of the posters we have hanging in the garage.
at some point i guess i actually need to go through the boxes of posters and fliers i have collected over the years and do it proper.
anway a teaser...

if you dont know lip cream, you dont know shit.
this is no bootleg bullshit. this is a real lip cream crew neck sweat shirt. circa late 80's
your not going to find one of these anywhere. not even in koenji!.
this was given to me years ago by my good friend takashi sweeden. he is the bass player for "rockey, and the sweeden", fearless vampire killers (m.y.b.c.), owner of fudobrain clothing shop in tokyo, and all around awsome dude! he has more shit that you have never seen, than you could even imagine. 
burst city
I had to post this. its sooo rad. burst city is a cyber punk classic! if you like mad max, toxic avenger, class of 1984, etc.. this is for you. i havent seen it in a few years you tube is the best! . i need to go get this on dvd tomorrow. the stalin vs. the rockers sound clash to the death!

SIDEBURN
finally sideburn has landed. we have both issues, in the shop, and will be on the web shop soon.
what is side burn you ask? its a VERY well designed and put together UK magazine covering current, and vintage flattrack motorcycles, as well as hotness from around the globe. (i.e. bratstyle, dues, wrenchmonkees etc.) if you like dice, and you are into racing or SPEED, or the idea of going fast this is for you. nice photos of nice bikes, and good reads.
*look for more shop gentei/sideburn projects in the future.
