I also understand that there is a very small, highly devoted group of Japenese males that are well into collecting/coveting american made classis hot rods and kustom kars from the 40's, 50's and 60's. A number of "vintage iron" were shipped over in the prior economic boon. If anyone remembers the famous Moon(eyes) company that used to be Calif, it's now owned by a Japanese businessman and HQ'd in Japan. There's more in common here than just neat bicycles ...!
