spotted - Out and about
« on: November 02, 2016, 02:41 PM »
Saw a fella commuting on a Chrome 26" Champion the other night in Catford.

Tried to whip out the camera phone but it was too dark and I didn't have enough time to keep my phone still.



Pretty cool ride for rush hour.
Gertcha!

Not sure if you meant this as a one-off, but I like the idea of having a BMX Spotted Out and About thread to match the two on classic cars and bikes in the Rad Lounge! So apologies if I'm hijacking here but I went to Osaka the other weekend and although I didn't spot a Kuwahara, I did see this mid-school GT. Don't know much about these, but still a cool-looking ride for downtown Osaka! Likewise the two-wheeled contraption that follows it, even though it's non-bmx! :daumenhoch:

So I didn't see a Kuwahara in Osaka (the home of Kuwahara) but I did see one literally 1 minute from my home (in Kawasaki) on Saturday!! Even though it was only one of the modern repops, it was still cool to see so close to home! :daumenhoch:

Back to GT for my latest sighting! Saw this mid-school Speed Series at Midoriyama race track last Sunday. Not sure if it was being raced, but it was cool to see something "older". :daumenhoch:

A couple more sightings, spotted whilst out and about. First up, another repop Kuwi, this time in ET colours, then a cool-looking 'goose!  :coolsmiley:

Hadn't noticed that! ;D I spoke to the owner as well - wasn't like he was a Spen vertically-challenged or anything, though I didn't see his wrists!! :chin:

This is a country where drivers leave cars running whilst they pop into a shop!! One of the reasons why I like living here. :daumenhoch:

Saw this Blue Max in Tokyo last week. Had actually spotted this bike before, but thought it was worth a second viewing! :daumenhoch:

A few more sightings whilst out and about. Not old school but what the hell, it's all good! First up, a GT in Tokyo:-



Next, this cool S&M Challenger being raced at Midoriyama:-



Then this week I saw this nicely-parked Fit:-



& finally, with apologies that this is not BMX but I spotted these literally just round the corner from my house today, thrown out ready for the bin men on Monday morning:-



 - not really my thing but kinda cool!

It's still there if you want it! :daumenhoch:

Forgot to post these 2 bikes! First is an in-house, retro-styled complete that's sold by one of the Tokyo bike shops. Have seen quite a few of them about during my time here. Next up is what I think is a Mongoose Kos Kruiser, and very nice it was too!

Still cool though! Unlike Photofookingbucket, having just noticed that all my photos have gone for a Burton! Thumbs down

Will go through and re-load them as and when. :daumenhoch:

Saw this on Saturday evening parked outside a restaurant. The owner came out with a stern look on his face, so I quickly snapped this and left. :daumenhoch:

Popped into central Tokyo on Monday and had a quick wander around trendy Harajuku, which always has cool bikes around and about the place. Here's a selection:-

A few more recent sightings out and about on the mean streets of Japan! I don't normally bother snapping new school street bmx but loved the bars on this one! :daumenhoch:

A couple more bikes spotted in Tokyo over the weekend. I missed it to begin with but the first one is a Boss, and the second one of the new Kuwi cruisers.
