Bakuto no Bakuta

The B’n’B’s are riggercentric group closely tied to the bosozoku. They reflect a growing trend in the Japanese culture to veer towards the Matrix and AR, establishing themselves as legitimate contenders in an emerging field. B’n’B members are normally recruited from Matrix and AR game enthusiasts who build mods and patches and make a name for themselves in elaborate AR graffiti (they once had nine life-size golden dragons flying through Neo-Tokyo’s AR skies), custom bike modifi cations, vehicle, drone, and robot theft , and “ghost riding,” or hacking the encrypted simsense feeds on corporate racers and combat bikers to share the thrill of pay-per-view events without paying for the privilege.
When taking a group action, either in the Matrix or on their bikes, the B’n’B’s rely on tactical software and game-honed reflexes to outflank and outthink their opponents. Th e B’n’B’s are one of the little Matrix gangs that have prospered while the Yakuza has been busy, and thus is one of the few criminal groups on the grid not under an oyabun’s thumb.

Of course, no one’s asking how this group could afford the tactical gear and proggies. Funny, that.

Who cares? I got my hands on an MCT K-23 combat cycle through these guys! I haven’t ridden one of these in years.

Wait, isn’t the K-series their experimental prototype designation? Maybe these guys do have Yak connections.
