Yamaguchi Koffee Racer

  There are things that, no matter how they are presented, remind me of very specific items.  This build from Yamaguchi Ringyou is painted in a shade that instantly says “1950’s automobiles” to my brain, and I start hearing “50’s rock-n-roll in my head just looking at it.  Park this baby next to a ‘55 Chevy and they would complement each other to the nth degree.  She’s a very simple, solid build, the kind that looks easy to pull off, but requires a lot of hard work and dedication to bring to fruition.  Another great build from Japan!

Dan's Shovel N Dirt

  When I first saw this bike, I wasn’t that impressed.  It seemed a hodge podge of ideas, assembled with little regard to the overall package.  It wasn’t until I saw a photo in black and white that the true beauty became apparent to me.  The awful color choices mask the basic goodness, and draw your eyes in a haphazard pattern over the bike.  It just goes to show how important color can be.  I almost didn’t appreciate this build, just because of the crazy paint job!

  There are rat bikes that are the way they are just for the look, and then there are bikes like this, that have a bit of the rat look not because it’s a sought after style, but because it’s a pure expression of function over form.  Everything is the way it is because it works, not because it fits some style objective.  The fact that it looks kick ass is secondary to the smile it puts on the rider’s face as they hurtle down a twisty two lane.  This bike screams “Ride Me!”, and that’s the way it should be.
