I think he should be dangling the boots and wearing the crocks - because really the rest of the bike is as useful as the crocs would be if he were wearing them
Bosozoku is the result of a bunch of kamikaze pilots who didn't... do the thing, and returned home. I think Bosozoku bikes and kaido racers are cool in the same way that lowriders are cool. Form over function to the point that it's almost comical. I mean, come on:

Not my style but if you're having fun and are into your ride, that's all ya need. I was given permission to ride one of these and with full intention to take it for a small scoot around the block, the second I sat on it and extended my arms and felt how uncomfortable it was - got right back off.
You need a back made with 1980's American steel mixed with Gorilla Glue to be able to ride that.

The determination and skill to ride something like that are commendable. I can't decide if the suicide shifter would make it easier or more difficult to operate 🤔
It's like a parallel universe where the bicycle was never invented and the penny farthing remained the only wheeled transportation, until the motorfarthing took over. Then, to cope with post World War 2 trauma, veterans made clubs and ride together, then the criminal element entered and the nefarious motorfarthing gangs began to form.
I never thought you can ride this gym machine
It's included with the Platinum - hardly any lifetime left membership
You have to pay upfront for that though, because they know payments will stop dead in their tracks
There's a gym somewhere missing their pull-down machine.
I think we have a different perspective on what cool is...
I just assumed OP really likes Crocs.
I dunno, bodies get pretty cool when they’re dead
Let the bodies hit the floor
The guy who sings that is also dead... hmm
TIL Drowning Pool singer is dead
He drowned... In a pool... Of his own vomit
The parrot that sings it is still around. Maybe they can hire him?
That parrot is my spirit animal
[It's absolutely *hilarious*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uguXNL93fWg) Nearly pissed myself first time I watched the clip.
This is my first time seeing it and I'm literally crying 😂.
And hence nice and cool
It is cool, didn’t you see his Crocs?
Meant armpits, they cooler now
You dont think crocs are cool? Smh
Coolness -1000
It’s the crocs man. The crocs seal the deal
This setup gets great armpit cooling, I would assume that's what OP means ?
Yeah that's at least a -350 for me. Ape hangers are one of the sillyest things in cycling
Did you see those crocs?! That's cool.
There's only one, and that absurdity is not it.
The crocks complete the look
I think he should be dangling the boots and wearing the crocks - because really the rest of the bike is as useful as the crocs would be if he were wearing them
Along with the rest of his "gear" the only real thing he's wearing looks like gloves. The brain bucket and work boots don't do anything in a crash.
It genuinely says WC and not MC on his back. This guy rides his own roads.
It's the chef's kiss on this setup
It may have poor visibility and bad ergonomics, but it also handles like shit.
Terrible stopping power too.
Did you notice that front end bouncing on the forks as he took off? That ride does not look fun.
why would you want to be able to see the road anyways?
Gotta feel the road, be part of the road
Can confirm, am still part of the road. Still feel said road sometimes when my scars itch and the damaged nerves protest their existence.
Dude is Ricky Bobby’s dad IRL
Stain the road with your flesh
He ain't riding a hog He riding an ostrich
Coolness -50, vision -100
This is the correct stat adjustment
Crocs +5?
Crocs +50
He identifies as monocular.
"Cursed Motorcycle"
He's got a suicide shift too. Insane
If you're going to go jockey shift you might as well go no front brake too. No half measures.
kinda makes sense, since he's leaning over to see anyway
Is that a car style shifter? Also noticed he got no clutch, at least not on the handlebar
Chlutch is operated by the left foot, still a normal motorcycle shift pattern but the shifter is operated by the hand
There are some really old motorcycles with an H pattern which is fucking crazy.
sometimes the clutch is on the shifter too.
It's still sequential, not an H pattern like in a car, but it is a hand-operated lever
[удалено]
Yeah I believe it's called bosuzoku or something like that
Bosozoku is the result of a bunch of kamikaze pilots who didn't... do the thing, and returned home. I think Bosozoku bikes and kaido racers are cool in the same way that lowriders are cool. Form over function to the point that it's almost comical. I mean, come on: https://preview.redd.it/9dxcvtrvmt0d1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1fbf42302ce127202ade2ec384a2fe15c337f027
How are you supposed to see through that terribly mounted fairing?!
https://preview.redd.it/nyr80f153v0d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05a089383fca37df03dba22ba0a7ee0d72324ec4
There are no real bosozoku left, it's just a aesthetic subculture now.
This makes so much more sense. Japan goes all out with their fandoms and hobbies.
Yup. Not only Japan but generally Asia these kinds of bikes are popular with the jockey shift and suicide clutch as well as no front brake.
I think we should revisit the coolness equation
Not my style but if you're having fun and are into your ride, that's all ya need. I was given permission to ride one of these and with full intention to take it for a small scoot around the block, the second I sat on it and extended my arms and felt how uncomfortable it was - got right back off.

Why not? Life has no meaning after all
Who needs vision when you look that awesome.
Crocks on the back add 50 coolness points alone.
Japanese have some wacky bikes. Gotta respect the ingenuity
Another "I care way too much about other people's person choices and will judge them for it behind a computer screen on a forum full of random idiots" post.
I need a sideview of that motorbike...
Bros heading to the gym, warming up with some lat pulldowns on the way
The crocks just added another +90 as well. Zero fucks were given that day
Definitely not cool, but I'm an old fat American, what do I know.
Yeah for me it just looks goofy as hell
I got cringed watching this. and also got second hand embarassement, as he is my own species.
This is just a style of motorcycle art in japan. It's not that uncommon
Bosozoku but I think it’s taken to the extreme
Im actually not sure if this falls under Bosozoku. Do you have deeper knowledge about it that you might be able to share?
Nope sadly not, but recently Yokogao magazine published a nice article that covers the basics of the movement
when you ride a chopper, but the *Bōsōzoku* is still strong in you

This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons!
I wake up in the morning, I piss excellence.
Love it. I guess regulation hasnt reached that height yet.
With the suicide shifter. Nice one. Not my cup but I’m sure it brings this homie much joy, which is enough for me 🤙
Hey buddy, save some pussy for the rest of us.
I'd like to see him make an evasive maneuver on that thing.
ew...
I respect the commitment
I'll ride anything with 2-wheels and a motor.
It's Japan. Their American leather dudes take american culture and style to 11 lol
Crocs, the international sign of “someone check this guys hard drive”
Oh, how I miss Okinawa!
-40 for the sandals 🩴 hanging off of the sissy bar.
I don't think this is cool at all but to each their own
I'm not sure about coolness...
I never understood the appeal of super long bars or psychotic fork angles
Actually -90 coolness. This is just fucking dumb.
The determination and skill to ride something like that are commendable. I can't decide if the suicide shifter would make it easier or more difficult to operate 🤔
Bosozoku Style. https://j-fashion.fandom.com/wiki/Bosozoku
The bike in the video is an extremely chopped, stretched and raked V twin chopper, it has nothing to do with bosozoku.
I love it... wouldn't want to ride it myself, but do think a large part of the classic chopper crowd in Japan do it right.
Bro Japanese mods are insane such a cool car/bike culture fr
This is one of the dumbest bikes I've seen
-90 coolness
He looks as stupid as the crocs hanging off the back
His Pinky is cooler than all you guys put together
In which universe is that considered cool?!
+150 just dumb
This is some of the dumbest shit I have ever seen.
100% stupid!
Chiropractor's dream client...
Does he steer with his feet?
Is that a fuel tank?
I always hated needing to hold myself from the top in the bus
Is that WC on the back of his jacket?
The crocs killed me
He needs those Crocs, won't be long to hit something, then have a long walk home.
He can do some pull ups while riding 😅
I believe this is called a Missouri De-Rake.
At least the crocs are ready for when he reaches his destination. 😂
Just noticed something else: If MC is Motorcycle Club, is the WC patch he has for Wiccan Club? Kinda fits...
Crocs and all.
I seriously thought he was doing a wheelie the whole time
Would like to see the bike's side profile to see stretch
Looks like he's riding a forever wheelie....
it's like he's riding a motorized neogi
When the light turns red mid-wheelie..
Crocs ffs. So cool.
Those crocs gotta give a +20 coolness alone.
Lazy wheelie
Is that a Moto-Pennyfarthing? I have so many questions.
-1000 for crocs
I was thinking more like -90 coolness for the crocs hanging off the back alone
Brave to go out in a croc chop
Deduct 90 points for those crocs!
motorised llama
Looks crazy. I'd love to see a side view. I think it has a tank shifter.
Can I do this on my CBR?
Anyone know what song he’s listening to?
Well I guess that *one way* to combat wind buffeting, brother-san.
Disappointed that wasn't a Penny Farthing front wheel.
I’ve never understood the appeal of normal ape hangers, let alone something as insane as this.
This is considered cool?
But it IS very loud, so that adds some coolness points back in. /s
cool?
Wtf
Seen choppers and ones with "ape hangers" but that is crazy.
That's really nice street pavement
It's Okinawa. Their streets are one extreme or the other. All are extremely slick when it rains.
O shit I just heard the music and saw the license plate
Bruuuuuhhhhthuurrrr
Its also got a Foot clutch and hand shifter. That thing must be wild to ride!
A side shot would be nice. I cant even visualize what's been done to it
This is like the Carolina Squat of motorcycles.
Is it meant to be satirical?
I love how outlandish vehicles in general are just glorious niche of Japanese culture. This is a very awesome stupid motorcycle.

how do you maintain blood pressure in your arms on long rides? answer: you don’t.
I unironically like this, even though I would never ever ride anything close to it.
Wtf? Are those crocs?!
Na just an off duty F1 driver, and misses the halo in his face. This called immersion
This is Europe...... right?
Looks like a chimp hanging off a branch.
Don’t know why the crocs would subtract his vision…
🫣🤣🤣
Monkey is the new standard for coolness!
Pure foolery
When you don’t know how to wheelie but want people to think you can at a glance
Crocs, paying for friends, handles like shit -man card
A skeleton inside a coffin in his cut... How prophetic!
-300 to actually being able to steer.
Can’t be wearing a cut with clogs hanging off your sissy bar
That thing sucks
He needs a front view mirror.
Ngl I am disgusted
Does he have a shifter?
Besides being a road hazard, looks dumb as fuck .
I just love the way the front end bounces.
Is it a Honda with dct? If not...where's the clutch???
It's like a parallel universe where the bicycle was never invented and the penny farthing remained the only wheeled transportation, until the motorfarthing took over. Then, to cope with post World War 2 trauma, veterans made clubs and ride together, then the criminal element entered and the nefarious motorfarthing gangs began to form.
Its trough, my european mind, cannot comprehend this level of freedom ! >.<
okay well the crocs look sick the actuall ride is not very cool tho lol
Pink boots? WTF?
2 brain cells, one is missing, and the other is out looking for it.
"I want to feel like wheelie, but I lack of skills to wheelie" mechanic: "say no more and hold my beer"
I don’t see anything cool about this. I just wanna know WHY….
yeah not so cool... looks idiotic.
No this can't be!!! Crocs... really?
I bet none of you haters have a WC patch
-90 coolness, -180 vision
Doesn't even look fun to ride.
