Anthropologists are running out of pigeon holes to put the kids of today in. Especially the Japanese. With blatant disregard for etiquette or politics or history, they are producing some 'interesting' concoctions. We consulted Dr Troy Vanstein about this Motoyan picture... BP
"The facemask in the photo is an AME BMX mask from the 80's (Looks like a copy since the goggles don't have the AME logo).
In the 70's and early 80's Scott was popular. There were others Oakley, Carrera, Seer. I think use of them had a lot to do with how crap full face helmets were at the time. Poor Vision, heavy, hard to breath in. The Bell Moto 3 was the start of the end of the face mask. It was light for it's day and better air flow and vision. Then the AMA made full face helmets mandatory and that was the end of the face mask I guess..."

The boots are cherry red 10-hole Doc Martens, antiqued with black polish around the seems. Very Symarip. GI
Hmmm. He might have tipped it over the edge with the rising sun fanny pack. Im guessing the cat likes his cherries. The Pièce de résistance without a doubt. THAT HEADLIGHT.

Any fanny pack in my book is a No No, hence the "blatant disregard..." but the whole ensemble works.
Moi fashion tart?

i want a face mask but i cant find one, some vintage ones pop up on ebay but prices are crazy! I was looking at the Paintball masks but they are kinda bulky... :(
Those XS motors look better every time I see them. Starting to get a bit of a thing about them to be honest.
