Haha thats funny, they are big in so cal now. When I was back in japan, every tight jean wearing fool had a modded scooter with a highschool girl wearing her school uniform on the back. I was driving down 58 and seen lights in the palm tree's and see a pack of wannabe newer bosozoku's flying past me in modded scooters , with japanese war flags flying off the back......From what my family said they been having issues with these crazy young japanese , running americans off the road, or "bashers" smashing american guys "Y" plated cars. This has been going on a lot for the past 40 years but I guess since japan wants american ocupation off the mainland shit has been heated.
