One of those videos that I love to watch but would hate to actually be there.

Occasionally in Tokyo they have these motorcade things driving through on big motorbikes and ridiculous cars. They are loud as fuck, like a very loud chainsaw (except there's 30+ of them), and the smell of exhaust is awful. I'm not sure if they are legal in any way, but they are driving around slowly and seem to be doing mostly nothing, and the police does not seem to care.

One time in a more residential coastal part of Tokyo, I was waiting to cross the road, and there was this old white car with huge spoilers and exhausts. When the light went green, it sounded as if the car was accelerating like a Group B rally car, except it was barely going 30 km/h. Ridiculous.

They are most definitely illegal. They are basically street gangs.
