From his emergence as Zero Engineering in Japan, which phoenix'd into Chabott Engineering in the States. Shinya Kimura is the Don of steam punk SEX.
I'm a reformed blogoholic and too busy trying to nail down the long overdue SB#3 to be cruising the seductive ether highways and back-streets looking for nubile motorcycles just now, but when Troy Critchlow just Emailed me this snap of this 750ss Ducati caff racer Shinya is hammering out for a certain Brad Pitt, I just had to creep out and hunt it down. No other info yet - it's not even mentioned on his own site, I robbed this Motoyan photo from the Swastika flying No Future Krew blog.

LOve it. Good post BP

ReplyDeleteSecond swastika-stained link in a week? This time not hidden half-sharp on a posted pic, but as the featured (and consequently approved) blog's bigoted, brain-dead branding. If that twisted rotten cross featured on some southern states supremacist chopper site, would you shrug it off with the same 'ker-razy foreigners' abandon?
'He's a pretty cool guy apart from the rape and murder fetish'. Really? I've clicked through to a couple of his other posts - this ain't some slack use of HA imagery - this fella means it.
Sorry brothers, but someone had to say it, and it may as well be me. I'm not over-sensitive, over-pious, over-reacting. I know you're not promoting fascism, militarism, aggression. I know you've thought about this and its implications and jumped one way. I'm just jumping the opposite way. And shouting a gentle 'Boo!' from the cheap seats.
Down with this sort of thing. 'A boot, stamping on a human face, forever' has nothing to do with motorcycling's mesmeric magical momentum. You gentlemen brighten dreary days with this blog, but I don't dig these links. So I'm voting for less sloppily swastika'd content.
Suerte, Dan

ReplyDeleteIs there a swastika on the photo? I can't see it if there is. And Ben put the comment as a warning, if you go to this link you'll see they fly swastikas.
And it doesn't mean we endorse it at all. The very opposite. We're one of the few sites who feels it is worth mentioning.
And the swastika isn't on Shinya's site, but a Japanese photographer's. So we're not saying we dig Shinya in spite of whatever. They have NOTHING to do with him. A photo of his bike is just on another site (the one referenced)
It means we credit the photos so don't sue us.
And if you're trying to imply we're nazis or support it then, to paraphrase the Dead Kennedys, fuck off!
