The Cafe Racer Thread

Hand hammered tanks and tails, spoked wheels, low bars and LOUD.

Post your favorite pics.

 

Iconic just sold a pretty cool custom CX500......

I lost this one to a fire a few years back.



By the way, if anyone has a link to a print of image in my original post, please hook me up. I want that hanging in my garage. If anyone has the phone number for the girl in that photo, I'll give you a million dollars.

 

Man, I thought this was going to be about Jim based on the title and having a little buzz.

I miss Him posting here.

 

I guess this would qualify as a cafe racer. I'm ashamed how little I've ridden it in the last 5 years. I'm giving it to my son when he moves back to the Ville, but he rode it when he was home a couple of weeks ago and said it doesn't even thrill him that much anymore.

As much as I like old stuff, I just know I'd be happier with this :

 

Oh my...

 

XS-650 and some other sweet curves...

 

yup... triple shot.

 

Where do you put your feet on that?

 

There's an MX peg sticking out right under the kickstarter.

Can't stand when they leave the tail looking like an advancement in buckboard wagon benches.

 

More better... hehehe ?

 

I currently have this sitting in my shed...




My plan is to turn it into either of these...

 

They are both cool. I like the bottom one better but you will definitely spend some money on wheels.

 

That thing looks like it would be like riding a king sized waterbed that's sitting in a dinghy rolling through rough seas. While juggling bowling balls

 

Drop dead sexy.

 

Nice sewing machine. I love those bikes
