102 Truckers, Scramblers, and Motards Gathered at Yokohama Triple Cross Yokohama Triple Cross Report

YOKOHAMA XXX (Yokohama Triple Cross) held in Yokohama, Japan on March 22, 2026. Trackers, scramblers, and motards. It was an unlikely meeting where three genres with off-road tastes intersected. In this issue, we report on the event!

It all started with the idea of "why not?

This event was organized by the members of the "Yokohama Cafe Racer MTG," of which I am a member. While there are many meetings featuring café racers, choppers, and old cars, there are surprisingly few events that focus on "off-road" bikes such as trackers, scramblers, and motards. Is it simply "lack of demand"? Or is it simply that there is no one who wants to participate? The trucker style in particular enjoyed a major boom in the early 2000s, and there must be a certain number of vehicles on the market. In other words, I had the feeling that there are always some truckers lurking somewhere out there, just not on the radar. Of course, another possibility also crossed my mind. The realistic hypothesis was that the number of vehicles in the fleet was so small that no meetings could be held. Still, we took a chance on the former. Would we really get together? To be honest, we were very anxious. Instagram "YOKOHAMA XXX (Yokohama Triple Cross)" https://www.instagram.com/yokohama_3x

102 cars proved that they were "just not visible.

However... my apprehension turned to a certainty as the day of the event approached. More than 100 cars had registered in advance, and a total of 102 cars showed up at the venue. This was by no means a "large-scale event. However, in this genre, the significance of this number of vehicles is great. Truckers, scramblers, and motards. Despite the differences in genre, there was an air of lightness that could be felt from all of the vehicles. Nimbleness. Roughness. A sense of fun. And a freedom that seemed to lightly cross the boundary between paved and unpaved roads. "I knew you were here." Such a feeling spread throughout the venue.

It wasn't just motorcycles that were crossing the street.

What was even more impressive was the flow of people. Not only were people reuniting with familiar faces, but conversations such as, "I always look at your Instagram," and "Please tell me about your account," naturally began to take place. The bike was a catalyst for people to connect with each other. The presence we see online crosses over into the real world. As the name "Yokohama Triple Cross" suggests, perhaps it was not only "genres" that crossed paths. Values, styles, and people. There was definitely a time when everything intersected.

The "ambiguity" of genres

Another thing that characterized this event was the "ambiguity" of genres. Truckers, scramblers, and motards. As the name "Triple Cross" suggests, the meeting was originally centered around these three styles. In reality, however, there were many bikes that did not fit into these categories. Vintage motocross, trail, and off-road. Although their roots and styles are different, they all have something in common. To begin with, to what extent are they trackers? What constitutes a scrambler? The definition differs from person to person, and there is no clear demarcation line. That is not surprising. Trackers originated from dirt track racing, scramblers are based on on-road bikes that were adapted to unpaved roads, and motards are motocross and enduro machines that were converted to paved road specifications. In other words, each of these genres was born out of the to-and-fro between paved and unpaved roads, and the boundaries between them are inherently ambiguous. This is probably why vintage motocross and trail vehicles fit so naturally into the scene. However, it is this ambiguity that makes the place so interesting. "Which one is this?" Conversations such as these are the catalysts that naturally bring people together. Because there is no correct answer, there is no denial. That is why the differences in style are established as individuality as they are. We are not divided by genre, but connected by sense. Yokohama Triple Cross was an event where one could enjoy such "margins.

The atmosphere created by the venue

The venue for the event was GREEN NUTS, located in Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama. The reason why motorcyclists naturally gather at this place is immediately apparent when you actually visit. The store has an American atmosphere and an unpretentious sense of distance. Coffee and a hot dog in one hand, time to exchange a few words while admiring the bikes. The bikes on display are not all show-polished vehicles. They are real motorcycles that are an extension of everyday life. That is why they fit in so naturally with the event. It was not a made-up performance, but rather the atmosphere that was there in the first place. The time of the day seemed to overlap on top of that.

Intersection that leads to the next intersection.

The participants, the management staff, and the organizers, with whom we have worked together to make this event a success, are naturally filled with a sense of gratitude. The curtain closed on this first event, which had been launched from scratch, with a solid response. Yokohama Triple Cross. It was a time that gave a contour to "something that should have been there but was not visible. The next event will be held at this location in the fall. The 2nd Café Racer Meeting is scheduled to be held at the same location. The genre may be different, but the atmosphere created on this day will surely continue. There was a definite response there that made me think so. Instagram "Yokohama Cafe Racer MTG " https://www.instagram.com/yokohama_cr

What transcended genres and was certainly

It is not that they were "not there," but that they were "invisible. The Yokohama Triple Cross proved it. Trackers, scramblers, and motards. Even though the genres were different, they all shared the same sense of lightness, freedom, and roughness. Light, free, and somewhat rough. People who resonated with these values came together in the form of 102 vehicles. This was not just a success, but also an answer to the question, "Can a meeting be held in this genre as well? The next meeting will be held in the fall. A new scene is sure to emerge here in Yokohama. Instagram "Single Cylinder for Everyone" https://www.instagram.com/minnano_tankito
