Tokyo Garage #4: Spice Motorcycles


















www.spice-mc.com/

Ok, now these rockers are out of this world! This bunch of cool dudes, combine their passion, and build insane choppers. How often do you see a bunch of Knuckles, Pans, and other Harley's with insane parts standing on the street in front of a shop? Don't mind the rain: a little patina doesn't damage the bike and these bikes are build to ride anyway! And again: such friendly guys are working here, taking their time to show us their wok and amaze us with their inspiring builds. Thank all of you guys so much and I hope to see your shop again soon. Rock on!

Tokyo Garage #3: Animal Boat Customcycles

Old Honda's are supercool and Animal Boat Customcycles proves it! Here you'll find a bunch of nice Dreams and Bombers, racers and customs. I just didn't know where to look, because between the Honda's you'll find a Harley KH engine, vintage Fender guitars, old pinball machines and lots of atmosphere. And on the corner you'll find a tiny custom paint booth from a friend. This for sure will make all Honda-lovers go wild! Thanks for showing your shop!

If you're into Triumphs and British bikes, you'll find your Valhalla in Docklands Speed Shop. The superfriendly owner spend a few years in Brittain and is heavily involved in racing. I hope there will be a time that I can have him tune my engine! I hope to see you again and have more time to spend! Thanks for the good time!

Tokyo Garage #1: Little Wing Engineering

Specialized in Indian and Harley, the friendly and charismatic owner Yoshihiro Ohira is a legend. Stepping into his shop is like entering a time-capsule: even the air tastes nostalgic. It's a shame we only had little time to spend, because I only had to hear a fraction of his stories. Gonz bought his Panhead from him 12 years ago and learned a lot of tips and tricks from this place, and I can imagine why. Yoshihiro-san, thanks for showing your beautiful shop and for the souvenirs!
