Tokyo road fauna

Specimen 1: Heck's Angels

These are groups of yuppie youths who tool around Tokyo suburbia on their totally tricked out hogs, except their hogs are scooters. You always know when they're in town, because they've modified their mufflers to give their beasts (scooters) a loud, deep, throaty growl. Or, at least, add a throaty touch to the machine's (i.e. the scooter's) naturally high-pitched, somewhat tinny hum. After a hard night (afternoon to mid-evening) of terrorizing the normals, they retire to the local coffee shop and get utterly sloshed on hazelnut soy cream lattes (it takes a hard man to deal with lactose intolerance).

And their anthem? That road warrior classic, "Bad, or at Least Not Quite as Straight Laced as our Parents Want us to be, to the Bone".

Specimen 2: Snow White van

Pure white paint job. Neon green body lighting. Neon blue underlighting. Neon pink illuminated license plate. Bigger-than-life portrait of the Seven Dwarfs airbrushed onto the rear.

Brain left hurting. Jaw dropped wide open.
