  • A cafe racer (/ˈkæff reɪsər/kaff racer) or (Ca-phay racer), is a term used for a type of motorcycle, as well as the motorcyclists who ride them. Both meanings have their roots in the 1960s British rocker or ton-up boy subculture, although the type of motorcycles were also common in Italy, France and other European countries. The term, which originally arose as an insult from motorcycle enthusiasts towards riders who they thought were playing at being a road racer but merely parked outside cafes, refers to a style of motorcycles that were and are used for fast rides from one transport cafe or coffee bar to another.

 

 

 

 

Just a neat look at a cool early Cb350 with Drum front brake .

Captures everything right.

 

Great detail he has shown on the Motor too.

I only wish I could do this on a computer or my Mac.

Brilliant job Dave I am well impressed with what you can do.

This is how he does it below.

 

 

Gas tank, seat base and headlight ready for fitting.

 

 

 

Here we are on a Throw Back Thursday, I have been busy today, not had time for a blog, but thought I would put a little something on the bike I am creating that I will put up for sale soon.

 

This is a unique Cafe and I am sure that you will like the end result, and so far it looks great.

The Gas tank has had my good old treatment of banging the crap out of it with a hammer and cutting the top and smoothing everything.

Right now she has really started to take shape and wanted to share it with you lot on here and see what you think?

 

Looking cool eh?

 

I aptly named the bike ” Rice Boiler ” as my old man always called my Jap bikes that.
