Vibes

Vibes did a feature recently - it's the biggest Harley 'Biker Style' mag in Japan. As fat as Playboy, but the girls are cuter.. and real!

Three shops

From the San Francisco Bay Area to Japan ~ these are my three shops. The first was opened in a tiny restaurant, followed by a significantly larger space, which became far too busy and caused me to go underground as it were.... now way out in a 1940's farm house.

and now.....

Here we go - the first OSI blog in English !

Yes, I'm the only American in Japan who wholly owns and operates his own Harley shop / business, and doing it all in Japanese to boot!

I do 1930 to 1984 HD import, custom, race, modification & restoration here at Old School Iron in Fukuoka, Japan. Sometimes I will do '20's models if necessary, but you better be ready to part with some serious dough. Occasionally I'll let an Evo or Twin Cam in under special circumstances. I just love vintage & antique stuff - cars, furniture, clothes, toys etc.

I'm lucky to have so many good customers here. Of course there are a few numbskulls & posers, just like back home (but not nearly as many) and they promptly get blacklisted. Luckily I deal with people who appreciate old motorcycles, and I flatly refuse the "New Generation" customers as they have no clue.

Am I stubborn? Absolutely!

I'm currently in my third shop here in Japan and life just keeps getting better as it goes.

Enjoy ~
