Kento \u201cFury\u201d Oketani\u2019s 1970 Ironhead Sportster<\/a> here may be a few spikes short of starring in a Mad Max<\/em> movie, but it\u2019s only<\/em> a few spikes short. It\u2019s a blend of styles you don\u2019t usually see mashed-up together. Part chopper, part desert sled, it\u2019s definitely a stand-out custom bike. We were able to pin him down to talk about it and rather than doing him the disservice of trying to describe it secondhand, we thought it was best to let him put it in his own words.<\/p>\n

Hot Bike<\/em><\/strong>: Before we dive into the Ironhead, let\u2019s talk about you. How did you come to live in the U.S.?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kento Oketani: I go with Fury as my nickname. I don\u2019t have a business or anything but you can find me on Instagram @fury36<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am originally from the city called Kanazawa in Ishikawa, Japan. I worked as a mechanical engineer for about 5 years before I moved here at the beginning of 2015. I went to school in La Verne, California for three months. I was going to go back home after that but it wasn\u2019t enough for me so I transferred schools to one in Torrance.<\/p>\n

Around Born Free 7 in 2015, my friend Yace (@hwzn.mfg.co<\/a>) visited me from our hometown. He had been friends with Oliver Jones (@thecutrate<\/a>) for a long time. So he took me to Oliver\u2019s house during Born Free and introduced me. Shortly after I ended up moving in. I have been living in Long Beach since.<\/p>\n
