    A lot of you guys would of heard of the Mooneyes Yokohama Hot Rod and Custom Show and the one's that havent need to look it up on youtube..

    Mooneyes also bring over for the show each year a bunch of cars and bikes from the USA, This year is no diffrent with Max Shaff, Jeff leighton, Ryan Grosman,Yanv Evan, Arie Vee and more

    The Japanese are just crazy for Old School Bikes and Rods, It amazing to see the stuff that is over there and the culture that they love and live by

    It's a event that I love to get to each year but this year Im heading back once again but Im bringing a few buddys along with our Bikes and one Hot Rod

    Aaron Neilson from Freedom Expression Co in Frankston is bringing along he newly finished Iron Head 

    Jole Syles from Albury has Revamped his famous Meteor just for the show

    Kyle Smith of Smith Concpets in Sydney has just finish this thing, Kyle is one of Aust best Custom Painters

    Andrew Paris who is the promoter of Melbournes Bikes on the Hill Show has just completed this one

    Ive just finished my latest Bobber and Im also taking over my Shovel

    ]

    There is one more Bike that belongs to Billy Ayres from Eval Cyles in Traralgon that is almost readybut i dont have any photos at this stage and Ben Foster from Perth has Build a V12 Lincon Powered 28 Hot Rod but he is showing anyone untill it gets to Japan.

    It is the fist time that anyone from Aust has taken any Bikes or Cars to the Show so we are all looking forward to getting there and flying the Flag

    Has Andrew forgotten to put footpegs on his or does he figure that the exhausts will burn your feet off quick smart and you wont need footpegs anymore.

    Maybe I am missing something here?

    Neighbors were complaining about all the bikes arriving at Mooneyes and the noise. The carpark was more interesting then the show hehe. Management said they might have to make it smaller or stop people arriving on the old Harleys etc. Was just wondering if there was any developments to this.Theres videos of the car park on Utube showing all the cars and bikes, parked and arriving.

    Ahh , yes they banded All Bikes for a 1 km radius around Pacifico were the show is held ,,, 2014 was the first year that they did it but now crowds are much bigger than ever before because the guys are now bringing there family's with them instead of just riding in with their mates.. Last year the show opened half a hour earlier just to get every one in.

    I do miss the car park, it was a show of it's own.

    The government set up sound testing equipment around the building ,, so far so good, the show go's on

    The seat was the start of the bike Billy bought it at last years show , the guy that made it collects scrap aluminium over a few months from around his nabourhood in Tokyo , once he has enough he cast this seat , fuel tanks and other Cool bike parts in his back yard as a hobby
