What do motorcycle riders and customizers have in common with a Japanese folk tradition? In the case of the YouTube channel Teru Teru Boys, it’s that they would clearly prefer good weather, if you please. The motorcycle DIY and custom channel’s name is derived from a Japanese charm for good weather, which you can also see in its logo, which pops up during some video transitions.
Today, though, we’re here to talk about one specific project, which is a build that’s currently underway from a guy named Ayato. Like many, he was inspired to create a custom based on nothing less than Kaneda’s bike from Akira. It’s a passion project that he’s doing as time permits, because presumably like most of us, he has other things going on in his life—so you’ll find videos (in Japanese, but with plenty of action you can follow even if you don’t speak the language) in the series going back about a year.
