FOUNDRY’S LATEST KAWASAKI Z650 CAFÉ RACER

Tom Simpson | Owner | Designer | Builder | Barista !  Tom was a blacksmith with an interest in motorcycles that stretched back to when he grass-tracked on mopeds around a field. “The seed of my bike obsession took hold when my dad brought home a knackered Suzuki GT250 Ram Air,” he says.

One of my Old favourite Movies

One of my all time best movies for Motorcycles was of course Mad max but, in the same time and using many of the same bikes this movie came out, I loved it in 1974 and still do today.  New Kawasaki’s were a sight to be seen in this movie. Never as far as I […]
