The Bozuzoku is a Japanese motorcycle gang that has been around forever. I find them fascinating because they are such a contrast to the typical "American Motorcycle Gang". Where you got the Son's of Anarchy looking dudes who rock around in all black leather and look like bad asses, the Bozuzoku are social deviants in that they try to stand out by being outlandish, obnoxious, and strange. This is a direct clash with the Japanese culture of being quiet and fitting in not standing out.
I love this video of these nutcases. They are wheelie kings too, but wheelies are wheelies. This "music" is all sorts of special.
