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.」
