I've been riding bikes all my life. He ended up with a Harley-Davidson.

While in high school, he won the Grand Prix at the 2nd Junon Super Boy Contest held in 1989. He is also very active in TV dramas and variety shows. He started playing the saxophone in junior high school and became famous as a musician. Mr. Shinji Takeda, who is more and more active in various fields as he celebrates his 30th anniversary of entertainment life, appeared in "With Harley" magazine following the last time. Last time, I showed him how to run tough and smart on the land of his hometown, Hokkaido, but this time, while he was super busy with a musical starring him, he rode around Hakone Fuji with his classmates and friends in his beloved Sportster Iron 883. It's easy to see how much he loves motorcycles and that he is a hardcore rider! DJ Dragon will be riding with us again this time. Began DJ activities in the late 80's, has many titles such as graphic designer/musician, and is gaining popularity. The two of them form a unit with "BLACK JAXX" and are close friends. It is a daily occurrence to run a motorcycle like this. Aoki, editor-in-chief of "With Harley" who accompanied the touring, interviewed the two. ──── [Right] Mr. Shinji Takeda [Left] Mr. DJ Dragon Aoki: Anyway, I will run hard, and when I stop, I will talk about motorcycles with my friends. I felt it in the previous Hokkaido, but you two really like motorcycles. When did you start riding motorcycles? Shinji Takeda (Takeda): When I was in elementary school, I learned how to drive a Honda Monkey that my father bought for me. It felt like playing a go-kart. Of course, in a safe place on private land. DJ Dragon (Dragon): There are many such places in Hokkaido, where Shinji was born. Takeda: I actually got my motorcycle license when I was 25. I entered the entertainment world early on, and thankfully I was kept busy, so I didn't have time to ride a motorcycle until my work settled down. The manga "Hot Road" is the correct generation, so I wanted to ride a motorcycle and have a burning love. Dragon: I see. It was a dream of mine to ride a motorcycle with a girl, and it felt special. Aoki: Since when did Mr. Dragon use a motorcycle? Dragon: From the age of 16. All my high school classmates were from a generation where it was normal for boys to ride motorcycles. My grandfather and father also liked motorcycles, and the fact that we had a pre-war vintage Harley may have played a role. It's a service car. Aoki: Oh, it's a museum treasure! Takeda: There's no way our generation wouldn't be interested in motorcycles. The origin is probably TV hero things such as Kamen Rider and Moonlight Mask. Hero = I was a motorcycle rider. Harley is one of them. It is a world-famous brand and the best ride for adults. Dragon: It's also fun to customize and create your own personality. I am enjoying playing with each one. This time, one of my goals was to run with friends from Hokkaido, including Mr. Yasufumi Yuki, who was my classmate in junior high school, while looking at the majestic Mt. Fuji. While enjoying sightseeing in Hakone such as riding a boat, you can enjoy a spectacular tour with a view of Mt. ─── Rocket cowl is set on the blacked out body. You can feel the thorough attention to detail, such as the round shape of the air cleaner along with the cowl end. It's Iron 883 with an outstanding presence! (Gallery photo 9-11)
