As a kid, do you remember singing the nursery tune, “One of things is not like the other”? Well, a motorcycle meet in Totton (a town and civil parish in Hampshire, England) featured some really cool vintage bikes from manufacturers from across the globe, but none expected to welcome this unlikely import from Japan…well, sorta.
