Default Oh No! We're All in for it!!!!!!

It seems the "Rice" style adopted from Japan's auto salons has infested North America in all parts, but a whole new style is coming out and I, just can't stomach it anymore. Here is a preview at the Japan car shows this month.

Default That's some of the funniest **** I've seen in a long time....

I love the mid 80's Supra with the running boards and snow plough. I wonder if it also comes with Tommy guns????

Default That's not the half of it. I spent a couple weeks there last year and laughed myself silly. >

But it's what they do to motor bikes that really cracked me up. Big V-twins with un-silenced megaphone outlets. Quite possibly the loudest thing I've ever heard. Actually no, Nitro funny cars are louder, but it's close.

Then you should see what they do to the chassis'. They extend the rear swing arm out so that the chain is around 12' long and the rear wheel is 5 feet back from where the rider is sitting. Absolute madness, but **** funny at the same time.

Riding these monstrosities are Japanese punks, wearing German WWII helmets. It's cereal....
