2 Wheeled Islander
I did this video a while ago, but I'm just going to share it again to get more people interested in Itansha.
I did up my bike primarily as a 2 day exhibit at a local Anime/Cosplay convention, but I still ride around in this get up.
Itansha is basically an extension of the customization scene from Japan that blends nerd/otaku culture with motorcycles to create a product that would, to some people in the general public, be so awkward and embarrassing that it could be painful. Thus the word Itansha being a portmanteau of 痛い(Itai/Painful) and 単車(Tansha/Motorcycle).
Hope there's more people like me out there! And feel free to share pics and stuff of your creation with me.
