以前、Tankのブログで大型二輪免許証取得とありましたが、4名が教習所に通い、3名が大型を取得し、1名が奮闘中です。その3名もそれぞれバイクを購入し、乗り廻すようになって来ました。
広告のManager、MOONEYES Mail Magazine Editorであり、カタログ等を作っているTankこと大津君は、Brat Styleに依頼していたSR Chopperが先週末完成しました。
営業のManagerのMapこと松浦君も、Bullのヨネ君を手こずらせながらも1969年のTriumph Chopperを手に入れました。70s丸出しのChopperです。彼はこのバイクで相模大野から、いつでも渋滞している16号・保土ヶ谷バイパスで通勤するつもりのようです。今までは車通勤でしたから何とか遅刻しても
たどり着けましたが、このChopperでは途中で故障の為「欠勤」なんて事もありそうです。今後の彼の社会人人生を左右する一台になるかもしれません。
仕入れ関係のManagerのOチャン角谷君は、Deluxieから1947年Triumphを購入。先日はお台場で開催されたトラックマスターズに参加したのですが、帰り道飛ばしすぎてバイクの調子が悪くなったようです。
さて、最後にいまだ免許取得に奮闘中の松井君は事故で潰れたHot Rodを直すか、Harleyを購入するか、どっちか一つにしないと厳しい現実になるかもしれません。
と言う事で、この3台、週末のショーに展示します。
最後にリアルバイカーのMasaとHiro佐藤は毎日バイクで通っています。これからは寒いので、暖かくなったら本牧山頂公園へツーリングです。
さて、進行中のPorjectはMax君に依頼していたScoopの延長も完成し、Currie製Ford 9インチデフに4.10を組み、Tractionbarも装着しました。
Previously “Tank” has mentioned in his blog that He was getting his driver license for unlimited size motorcycle but 4 of employee went to the Driving School and three achieved license and one is still taking class. That Three bought bike and started to ride around.
MOON Space Agency(Advertisement) manager, MOONEYES Mail Magazine Editor and Catalog Producer, Ohtsu who is called “TANK” has received his custom buit Yamaha SR 400 Chopper from Brat Style last week. As might have expected Brat Style made it with beautiful finish.
The Sales Manager “MAP” Matsuura managed to have 1969 650cc Triumph Chopper with much favor from Yone from Bull Original. It’s very 70s Choppers. He thinks he can use as commuter from Sagamiono through major traffic jam of route 16 and Hodogaya Bypass. He has been commuting with car so he was able to reach even though he was late but with this Chopper he may not be able to reach to office as it may break down in some where. This may be the one bike that makes change to his career.
The purchasing Manager “O-chan”, Sumiya has bout 1947 Triumph from Deluxie Customs. He went to Truck Masters last weekend at Odaiba in Tokyo by highway, too much speeding on way back and its running rough now.
Then lastly Matsui who used to be called “Kid Rocker” is still going to class and has to decide if he will fix his Hot Rod or buy Harley, must to choose one to afford.
So these three bikes will be on display at Show on this weekend.
And REAL biker MASA and HIRO SATO are commuting with motorcycle everyday.
Now its getting cold so when it gets warm we will go for ridding to Honmoku Sanchou Park, it’s few miles away from us.
So the project in progress has completed scoop extension by Max-kun and Currie Ford 9 inch rear end with 4.10, traction bars and sub frame connector are added too.

遂にShow CarとShow Bikeの引き上げも無事に終わり倉庫で保管中です。こうしてクルマやバイクが到着すると緊張してきます。
そう言えば、DicE Magazineは会場でこの記念Tシャツを販売するそうです。若者には似合いそうなカラーですが、僕はもう少し待てば嫌でも誰かがこのカラーのシャツ等をくれるでしょうから、それまで待つことにします。
MOONEYESで進行中の企画も着々と進行中ですが、何とキャブレターがスクープの中に納まりきらず、Max君に急遽、スクープの延長をお願いした所です。 ショーまであと1週間！ Finally the Show Car and Show Bike has been pulled out safely and Kept in our ware house. Arrival of the show cars and bikes makes me nervous. By the way the DicE Magazine will be selling this T-shirts at Show. This color looks good on young people, I might get some from some people in couple days so I will wait and see. MOONEYES hosting plan is coming along too. But carburetor hit the scoop on hood and had asked Max-kun to extend the scoop. 1 week left to the show! 16回目のヨコハマ ホット ロッド・カスタム ショーまで後11日、あまり時間ありませんね。今日のMeetingで詳細が決定しGO！です。Long Beachからのコンテナも無事横浜港に到着し、MOONEYES USAで製作を続けてきたクルマも無事に到着です。細かいところはこれから仕上げることになりそうです。 16th YOKOHAMA HOT ROD・Custom Showまで遂に2週間とちょっと。舞台裏ではまだ進行内容もハッキリ決まっていません。そんな状況とは裏腹に、時間だけはどんどん過ぎてゆきます。 This will be the 16th annual and we are getting more attention and attendance from all over world, as we know of there will be 100 people from all over the world including USA, Australia, England, France, Italy, German, Sweden, Finland, Holland, Korea and Hong Kong. The expectation of great show and yet the fact that main plan is only made makes more worries .To be honest that as of 15th today, the layout is not finalized yet and the entry acceptance letter is not mailed out yet. On Saturday 17th when this Blog is released the final meeting will be over and “what shall we do?” should be decided as “What we will do”. This time from MOONEYES, Mail Magazine Editor “TANK” Ohtsu, “MAP” Matsura and “Occhan” Sumiya has managed to get motorcycle license and making entry with own motorcycles. Please look forward to it. MOONEYES is thinking about displaying this kind of cars. No doubt it will be loaded and 16th YOKOHAMA HOT ROD Custom Show will be hosted on Sunday December 2nd. Just 16 days left.
Many Left Hand Drive ROWN came with floor shift even with bench seat as left side wheeling probably caused problem for structure and linkage. Since most people who want to own CROWN in Japan prefer column shift, this one was equipped with AT on COLUMN with power steering. As motor is design with exhaust and intake on left side, having all extra component like power steering pump and column shift bracket was questionable and was a real task but managed to fit all in and looked like originally equipped. The domestic A/C unit for left side steering was used this time. This first Left Hand Drive CROWN is completed and made it clear that imported CROWN can be also made in to comfortable driver. Now we have Right Hand Drive 1969 Crown Stationwagon is under process. The left hand drive wagon MS53(for sale) is on the way after that. Now we can still make this left hand drive wagon MS53 to desired specs, so please feel free to ask CROWN Classics about it if you have interest. 先週Pomonaで開催されたNHRA最終戦、自由席スタンドに陣取り、猛スピードで走るFunny Carを撮っていましたが、スピードが速すぎます。ゴール付近では300マイル以上、約480キロは出ているので素人ではとても追いつきませんでした。 King of Budweiser, Kenny Bernstein’s Monster Energy Car, this picture was the only one was successful among the many shot I took. Shot of DHL car was not shaking but Nose was out of frame. That’s pity. Someone’s head gets in picture when taking pictures from stand. And sometimes there are people who just stands up. Man! I was so depressed to see this shot as it was the only one with two Funny Cars in frame without shaking. This shot of Torco Car was good too. Skoal Car was too fast to take a picture and passed by. The taking good picture is like a miracle for amateur so Amateur should be happy with this much of pictures. Lucas/Jim Dunn Racing which we got to sponsor with their help, their Funny Car was out of focus like this. The speed in these days were fast enough but I don’t think it was like over 300 miles. 朝5時に起きて出発の準備をしていたら「ひょっとして今日11月4日はサマータイムからスタンダードタイムに変わる日？」と頭をかすめたのでInternetで調べてみるとやっぱりその通り。今6時って事は、つまり4時に起きてしまった事になる。損したような得したような、でもこの逆のサマータイムの始まりは今日とは違い1時間、時間を進める事になるので、うっかり忘れると大変なことになってしまいます。 と言う事で、思いがけず時間が1時間余計にあるのでブログを書く事にしました。「Who’s Who？」、誰が誰？ってこの3台、テールレンズが似ていると思いませんか？
