The Person of CUB - Mr. Yuki Wakao part1Looking at Mr. Wakao, who is manager of Atrica 521, many people will think that, "Did I meet this person before ...?". That because Mr. Wakao was a famous private builder. He is also a member of one of the largest cub teams in Japan and has appeared in various 4 mini magazines with his unique custom. He's the one who turned his hobbies into work.
Profile of Mr. Yuki Wakao
The store opened in September 2013, the manager of Atrica 521. He was fascinated by Cubs since He was a student and also belonged to the Cubs Team called ECC, where He spent my custom days.

Anyway, He spent 4 years just customizing.
When Mr. Wakao was 18 years old, some people gave him a Cub. But it's a pink x light blue normal, anyway, a tattered Cub. At first He thought that He didn't need it, but He got it. That's how Wakao's Cubs life began.
「It was a Cub with a 6V point ignition, but I was ashamed of riding it, so I changed it to a red and black hot rod style with a haste.」
This is the latest custom car of 2019 by AToRiKA521 - "Gorotsuki Chopper"
Although he did not ride a motorcycle, he loved crafting, as well as customizing bicycles to limousine specifications, and he was interested in American culture from a young age and also loved the world of hot rods. It didn't take long before Wakao was possessed by the Cub.
The powerful front wheel is 21 inches. The folk are from the postal Cub.
Mr. Wakao who went to a university in Kyoto carried the cub by himself from Gunma at home with the cub that he received. Originally interested in film-related work, he entered a university of arts. He said he had been customizing motorcycles for four years at college.
「Speaking of the first custom, did you cut the turnip fender with a gold saw? Just laughing (laughs). Since then, I have been customizing based on mini bikes, such as shalees, old scooters, and gyros.」
17-inch thick block pattern rear tires
Mr. Wakao who exhibited a motorcycle at the production presentation while he went to the department of imaging. And even though it was a school where motorcycle commuting was banned (laughs).
「What was displayed at that time was a custom one based on a Honda solo. Surprisingly, the president liked it and bought it. Apparently, I thought it was a bicycle ...」
Any solo produced by Mr. Wakao and purchased by the President is still displayed in the university library. Some people may think of it !? Since then, Mr. Wakao has been reported in various magazines.
The cut line of the rear fender part is changed according to the tire.
「Not many people still focused on turnips. At that time, when I was searching variously on the Internet, I found an ECC site (blog). Write it on your blog because SNS was not as popular as it is now. Looking at the turnip custom made by ECC leader Nonpoly C, I realized that there was someone who had the same idea as myself.」

https://cub.motocoto.jp/e2117.htmlTue, 10 Mar 2020 19:29:08 +0900The Person of CUB - Mr. Kenji Osawa part 2When you hear the word "My Way", a lot of you guys will know, or guest out that it is a Cub specialty store. The actual store itself has already been closed, but My Way still exists based on business trip services. Today we will interviewed the owner, Mr. Kenji Osawa. (part 2)
Profile of Mr. Kenji Osawa
Osawa is a rider with a Motocross International A-class license and is particular about customizing “kawaii” bikes.す

We did a lot of events and we made cars
Mr. Osawa has been taking over the store for about 20 years, but in fact, his thoughts on Cubs are very flat.
「In my case, I like cubs and I love them, so it's not a trick. Of course, I like it, but that's not all. There was a time when the number of users was increasing, so it was different from people, so I was focusing on CD50 and Cub. I guess I was looking for something unique and different. If you've been doing that for a long time, it's true that the turnips will eventually remain more than the CD50.」
The store My Way has created a variety of custom cars and set up a variety of events. For example, going back 30 years ago, I once held a motorcycle exhibition and sale at the 109 (fashion building) event space in Shibuya, Tokyo. We also held events at Kichijoji's PARCO and Seibu department store. I can't think of it now.
Aoyama's cafe cub is now a cub owner's longing and classic. Actually, My Way has been involved in that event since its launch.
「Surely there should have been 10 to 20 participants at first. In Japan, there is a wonderful motorcycle called Super Cub, but it has not taken root as a culture. That's why I wanted to establish a Cub as a Japanese culture, so I decided to hold an event on a cultural day. I'm not involved in the event anymore, but there are so many people involved!」
Also, "Cup of Kenji", which appeared in the movie "20th Century Boys" aired in 2008, was created by Osawa.
Mr. Kenji Osawa of My Way produced a Cub for the 20th-century boy, the main character Ken II. It is interesting by the same name by chance! The chopper taste was infused based on the C50 of 1983.
Challenge the limits with on-site service??
By the way, as I wrote at the beginning, My Way currently has no physical store and offers a business trip service. The service includes repairs, maintenance, and customs, and if it's a boa up on the waist, it'll take about an hour on a business trip! By the way, the business trip service basically doesn't take the vehicle back, so we are trying to find out how far we can go (laughs). You may be able to ask for bore and stroke assembly work!
This time I was able to accompany the business trip service. Because he always came from a bank that regularly performs maintenance, and he suddenly called Mr. Osawa, saying, "The engine does not start." A style that runs as soon as it is called. Flexible and cool ...!
At the time, a bank clerk tells Osawa that the engine will not start and gives a kick. Osawa listens carefully and watches the movement. After all, since the engine does not start, Mr. Osawa receives the key for repair and starts work. Turn on the key and lower the kick. Burlulu ... It took (laughs). "Maybe I got a kick because I stepped on the kick with the accelerator open. Such inquiries are common!" I changed the plug and oil and checked the wiring just in case .
The bank clerk who said that the engine does not start was able to start the engine with a single kick! "Thank you!" I was very grateful for it. Even though there was no store, there was My Way, which runs a cub shop while interacting with customers.

Fashionable bike shop was still early in those days!?
Osawa Cycle started on behalf of grandfather. The shop was taken over with the father and Mr. Kenji. At first, it wasn't a cub specialty store, but a store that handled a variety of motorcycles. In 1920, when he set up a motorcycle shop in the middle of a fashionable city called Dogenzaka in Shibuya, Tokyo, he was often surprised, saying, "A motorcycle shop in such a place !?"
「Kenji's grandpa hears very often from his peers that he was a cool biker. Because of such an environment, I grew up surrounded by motorcycles from the time I was attentive. The first time I rode a motorcycle was when I was 6 years old, maybe Honda's Road Pal.」
He have been riding motocross with Suzuki's RM50, and He've been riding a lot of motorcycles for a long time. After that, the bike boom came, but the era entered the heyday of racer replicas.
「At that time, there wasn't a place where motorcycles were fashionable. It may have been a little too early. However, the desire to make cute things has not changed since before and now. It seems that there is cuteness in coolness. That's why I am particular about complete bikes.」
You can also purchase custom parts for the Cub that Osawa straddles. The smoothing handle (¥ 20,000 + tax) is an important item in this style. The turn signal is stuck to the base of the machined aluminum.
During the heyday, they were selling only 50 used cars, and it was said that more than 80 cars were sold in a month.
However, as used and new cars gradually became unsold, then we began to make custom cars.
The seat is for the 50th anniversary limited edition of Little Cub
A leg shield made with FRP to paint. This is a very convenient item for customization.
My Way was a bright, cafe-like store, not a dirty store with a stubborn father like a motorcycle shop in the city (laughs). It was a restaurant where nature and everyone gathered. Surprisingly, 80% were female customers! It is gorgeous and good. However, in Shibuya and Harajuku, the crackdown on bans has led to the disappearance of those who were easily riding stylish cubs.
Small carrier B (¥ 16,000 + tax) adds retro. Based on the Super Cub 50, it is a custom-made C100 style vehicle The current Super Cub cannot make it, but the Little Cub can make C100 style. Please contact us.

As you can imagine from its name, Cuby (Cub), it opened in Aichi Prefecture in 2002 as a cub specialty store.

Cubs can express their own style.
「When customizing, there is no “standard” turnip. There is no rule.
For example, monkeys and ducks have some basic style.
There is no cub at all, and there are ten colors. In terms of being able to make use of my senses, I think that it is an excellent material. It is a pure white free canvas.」
It is said that it is inspired by beach cruisers in the United States, etc., and it might be such a relationship that the car produced by Mr. Kaby has a hot rod atmosphere like Harley Custom somewhere. The strength of the shop is that you can rely on both the hardware and software, the knowledge of the engine you learned while working as a mechanic and the processing technology and knowledge you got when you were a mechanic.
All parts with more than 1500 points are imprinted!
Cuby handles over 1500 custom parts, including original parts, in the online shop. Surprisingly, Mr. Kageyama always wears and impressions all of them!
The commitment that only the parts that are actually tested and judged good are sold !! The part of Mr. Kageyama's favorite is a front cushion with stability spring for the original Cub (13,200 yen + tax). It's not surprising that people who drive long distances and Cubs that they often ride every day want a more comfortable ride.
「This part has been completed with the cooperation of the heavy cub user, and it is a truly confident work. The normal fluffy ride has been improved and you should see the difference. However, this part does not change its appearance even if it is installed, and although you may not be able to get the satisfaction of appearance, the difference in ride comfort is obvious, so it is one of the parts you should definitely try.」
It's been 17 years since He created and released cub parts. Mr. Kageyama is still discovering the potential of custom Cubs!

"The experience of auto mechanics and mechanics helped me to much"
When Mr. Kageyama started riding a motorcycle when he was 16 years old, cartoons such as "Baribari Densetsu" were popular, and the popularity of road racing such as Kenny vs. Spencer was at its peak. The first motorcycle He rode was the Honda MB50, and then went through the heyday of racer replicas such as the RZ250R. He was a teenager who was running on a mountain pass or racing on a mini bike if He had the caster, and at that time He was not interested in cubs yet.
After working as a car dealer mechanic, He joined a company as designs and develops equipment for factory equipment. Here he can learn the techniques required for custom motorcycles, such as welding, milling, turning and metalworking. Mr. Kageyama, for example, has acquired a great deal of specialized knowledge, such as the fact that there are various types of iron, even if one is used, depending on the material and location, and that it cannot be used. At that time, there was always the ambition to open a custom shop independently, so I studied it greedily. An era when there is no Internet. He seemed to read specialized books to get information.
「When I was in a mechanical shop, after finishing my work, I rented a factory and tuned the car's engine with a courtesy. There are no manuals for race parts for cars at that time. Everything was self-taught, and the cam had a working angle of 320 degrees, which is a large number that could not be thought of with the current 4-mini high cam, and I often bent the valve.」
「I think that the current Cuby is satisfied because I have both experience working as a mechanic and 13 years working at a mechanical shop」
When was young, Mr. Kageyama liked bikes in general rather than turnips, but at first he was drawn to the 1958 C100 design, which led to his love of turnips. It is an era where used C100 is still available for 30,000 to 50,000 yen.
「The size of 17 inches is really easy to ride and fuel economy is good. I loved Cub anyway.」

Until the first part of “Advertising Focus at the time” part4, I saw advertisements for Cub published in weekly magazines in Japan, but this page is designed for the United States. It was a practical cut in Japan, but this is visual.
A Cub is developed from the beginning to the world in mind. After being published in Japan, it was exported to the United States, but this did not sell much. That's because there is a picture of a motorbike = a tribe flees. Advertising of NICEST PEOPLE ON A HONDA.
Illustrations and images of fashionistas and driving the Cub with a smile. Literally translated, in the sense that good people get on Honda Details, the car is spread with a good image at the same time. It was a modern and stylish design that I couldn't think of about 55 years ago.

https://cub.motocoto.jp/e938.htmlWed, 07 Aug 2019 15:17:39 +0900The Person of CUB - Mr. AkutsuMr. Akutsu from "Mito Kaji Cub", who participated in strong activities related to the CUB and held the challenge organization drive 1000 km in a block in 24 hours every year.
Profile of Mr. Akutsu
Mr. Akutsu, the president of the team named Mito Kaji Cub, was born in 1935 and is 80 years old. He had a passion for CUB from the C105 in the 61s. A facility owned by Gozenyamamura in Ibaraki Prefecture, Cam Hoshi Furusato is famous for gathering CUB lovers from all over the country.
Some interesting things you can do with CUB
In 1991, Mr. Akutsu, president of a famous national meeting called Mito Kaji Cub, challenged the challenge of 1000 km. This is the 26th year of the challenge of running 1000 km in 24 hours from Ibaraki. Mr. Akutsu started using bike when he was 16 and started driving CUB when he was 30 years old. Japan at that time was a bubble period, people only saw scenes of big and luxurious bikes.
“There were a lot of high-performance 250 and so on, we were looking there and didn't realize the goodness of the CUB at that time.”
Mr. Akutsu was no exception, and he said that he used almost motorcycle for tour and CUB for travel (circulated from a facility). Then an acquaintance of the county office, who saw Mr. Akutsu driver CUB handed over C105, is expected to be sent to a demolition store.
I never thought it would be an opportunity for me to stick with CUB until now (laugh). At that time, I toured from Ibaraki to Tokyo with a broken CUB as a poor appearance. It serves as an excursion of the editorial board of a motorcycle magazine and Welcome Plaza in Aoyama.''
The tour was written into an article, magazine, and a great response began, and a fun and exciting game about CUB started. The 1000 km challenge I wrote when I started in 1991 to celebrate the 30th birthday of 1961 C105 (55.), my favorite car. It's a very simple but hard event, players will have to run 1000 km within 24 hours. For the first time in 40 hours, it was considered a great humiliation of Mr. Akutsu. However, that regret can burn Mr. Akutsu. Along with the willingness to launch, the number of participated people has increased every year.
"For a time there were about 70 people involved in the challenge. At that time, there was a danger ... In addition, with the current CUB, you can easily pass the number of 1000 km. For the sake of challenge, OHC engine CUBs are not allowed to participate. I really want to join everyone, but high speed cars are dangerous.''
It has been 20 years since that challenge was launched. Finally done !! Success after many years of challenges. This is truly an unimaginable thing.
"Last year, we stopped to filling gas 9 times, taking breaks to go to the toilet and eating together in those times. I also ate nattomaki at convenience stores. But absolutely not tired at all. Because it's CUB, you can run 1000 km. Will other cars not do that? "
his is very strict ...!
There is an extraordinary effort behind the successes. In addition, Mr. Akutsu, who always works with interesting things like traveling to extremely cold places.
“The cub, which has been over 50 years old, enjoys it while being impressed with the awesomeness that has been used in this way.”
It was very surprised thing when heard that Mr. Akutsu is 80 years old, but still so very energetic because of the powerfulness of him.
He also has a 50th anniversary model cub that his son gave for Christmas, and he runs and saves only 70 kilometers. Regarding C105, "All the balance is good, I think that this design beyond this design will not come out anymore".

"I really want the Australian version with this submission. I don't really use it separately, but I wonder if it will tickle crazy minds ...(laugh)." Mr. Hiroyuki Fujisawa of Honda Motor Co., Ltd used to sit on a hunter's car in a standing position on the right side of the car. He had worked at many different departments like factory service and wear design. He took this hunter cub to the motorcycle festival held in Miyakejima in 2007, and was riding on the other side at that time. "I always wanted it. I knew that my acquaintance bought two new cars at Dream Tachikawa in Tokyo. I was ceded one to Raccoon and 2,000 USD." Currently, the company owns a total of three other facilities including motor components signed by Little Cub and Ayrton Senna. Mr. Fujisawa, in fact, he felt the loneliness of the CUB from a young age. "The farming family, there are a total of three people: a father and two brothers. People think that they are helping the farmer with running a CUB around the village. It is a village, and at that time it was not too serious ... (laugh). Well, please forgive me for the old days. At that time, while being a primary school kid, "It's a great bike! I remember that I felt. It can run for a long time with only the gas that the parents put in, and it does not break at all. I was able to drive even a primary schoolchild, I do not know how to drive in the first place (laughs). Will this be my meeting with the Cub?" Mr. Fujisawa who is in contact with the motorcycle as an observer of the World Championships of Trials, All Japan, and the Kanto Championships. We own the Motegi House The Twin Ring Motegi neighborhood House and enjoy a night party with a race-loving companion. For the hunters owned, it is also a red and white and it feels great. Sure ... !!

Tomoki Miya, who appeared in the motorcycle forum is a designer CUB C50, and give a talk about the situation at the time.
Profile
Mr. Hidenosuke Miyachi
In 1960, he joined Honda Giken Kogyo as an industrial designer, designing many Cubsx、get retired in 1996. By the way, Mr. Miyachi was also designed N360 of the car.
At the Cafe Cub meeting, I will talk about Miya Tomo and writer Hiroshi Chubu. So we will tell the story about Soichiro Honda and tell details about the situation at that time.
Response different needs at domestically and internationally.
The era of Super Cub use in this country has been divided into business and private. Also popular in the country 70 ·, 90 fuel tank capacity is not enough .... It has been noticed that only exporting Japanese specifications is not good. Therefore, in 1978, Mr. Miyachi decided designed a new CUB model for Southeast Asia. It was a Cub that when I was put to use Asian people will be convinced, but the reputation is not very good. "The use of Cub at that time was a time when it was normal for 3.4 people to sit on a cub.This concept is very friendly and cute in Japan, but it's completely different in Southeast Asia. The Cubs was be used to much at Japan, and the Cubs' proportions make up the majority, consuming a large amount in their lives. In Vietnam at that time, I said that I could not have a job without beets". When I was in Japan I was totally unaware that the concept of Japan was not understood. In East Asia, the price is about one year's salary, so we needed a more attractive cub. And I actually got on the site and I got along with the local people and I was born C700 and C900.
The secret of the blockbuster is to take an opinion
At that time in East Asia, square cubic design was popular, so headlights and fenders also had square cubs. It was not only cute and friendly, but it needed a design that reminded us that it was easy to use, but it was an asset value. It is said that the Cub has really sold a lot, and the debt of Thai Honda 600 million yen has been overturned with this one model. It was a huge success and was exported to Malaysia and Indonesia in large quantities. It may be a remnant of that time to still often see square cubs in Southeast Asia. "The people in Southeast Asia were very rude thinking that they would be behind Japan, but in reality they didn't do that and replaced their minds." Mr. Miyachi who designed the model for Brazil and so on after that. Looking back at the time when the customer's request was coming into direct, "The current person is too quiet (laughs).Certainly, Honda still has a DNA that incorporates various opinions, so please give us your opinion for the future development of the Cub. "
Honda C70 DELUXE
Under the seat is written BOON SIEW HONDA. This is the company name of Honda Honda. It features square headlights and blinkers that were popular at the time. A super cub that made an explosive hit not only in Japan but also in Southeast Asia. Great!
