Tokyo customs

The iPhone doesn't take the best pictures at night, but luckily Tokyo streets are pretty much daylight bright most hours.  I see this scooter all the time near our serviced apartment, and despite looking like it sits directly on the ground it must move because it's not always there.  There is a restaurant right next to where it is always parked, so I'd assume he/she works there.

This type of scooter is super popular around here, and they almost all have at least a modified exhaust.  When they travel in packs, it's almost like there is a biker gang tearing down the street on Harleys with the way the exhaust noise reverbs off the buildings.  Most are no where near as custom as this guy though, with his purple flame over metallic silver paint, 8ft of exhaust tubing, and overstuffed vinyl seat.  The rear fender on this thing looks like it probably drags on the ground 90% of the time the bike is moving.
