Cars and bikes I’ve come across in my travels

Superbug out here had the curved front screen and black lined bumpers, this has many of the features of a superbug, though earlier features also, 'tis a strange one. Drove a '63 for a time, while the bike was off the road or sharing the Dub with brother.... we drove that 63 even with a broken crankshaft for many months, then there was the time the back wheel overtook me while motoring along..... never reuse a split pin.... j
 
VW mixed the version of their cars built in Brazil and Mexico i.e. there are hybrids of the busses of S1 and S2 in Brazil
which we do not know in Europe, might be with the beetle the same.
 
Older vehicles like the Beetle with under 2000cc engines got the 77 suffix. But that was phased out many years ago for new issues. A GT-4 is not under 2000cc! So I have no idea.
 
I saw this guy in traffic this morning, I’m not sure if it’s a 400, 500 or 550! I think a 400, but who knows.

Classic bike are out there in Japan, but they aren’t that common. Like in the West I suppose. I need to find a place that everyone rides to on the weekends.
 
A bike shop I went by yesterday. I posted this because they have the prices marked. 1 usd is 161 yen and 1 aud is 107, a euro is 172 yenIMG_1941.jpegIMG_1944.jpegIMG_1945.jpegIMG_1946.jpegIMG_1943.jpegIMG_1942.jpeg
I wish I could find a shop with better bikes! I’ll keep looking.

Food delivery is so popular that specialized vehicles are made for just that purpose. This one is a tilting three wheeler.

Sold a few of these in UK thirty odd years ago, they were grey imports from Japan- lively in a side wind is an understatement!
 
I went to a local bike show years back and someone was selling 3-wheel scooters, I forget what make but the big selling point was they were apparently uncrashable. I found that hard to believe after riding one of those Ballon-tyred Honda Abosions. I think the ones at that show had 2 front wheels so maybe they actually steered. Those Hondas didn't unless you bounced its front wheel off the ground.
