Matsu!


Here are some examples of excellent leather craft done by my friend Matsu.
He relocated back to the Ito Shima area (close to OSI) recently after almost 20 years in So Cal.
Nice old school design!

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 ~
