My bike in print :-)
« on: December 12, 2006, 01:03:00 PM »
My caferacer was published today  :)
Made it into one of our swedish mags called MC-Nytt (MC-News).
Feels soooo good, I´m definately a happy camper today  :D

Here´s some lousy cellphone camera pics of the mag (and the fancy competitors of the peoples attention.... ::))
Made my day!

Cheers
Daniel

Great for you!  I am sure you are proud.  The magazine looks like it takes quality photos, but I can't read a word of the article! ;)

It looks like the article was written before your awesome black exhaust went on.

Thanks guys!

Really feels good that they thought it was good enough to publish  :)

The article was written and photographed a couple of weeks before I made the black pipes.
I´m still not certain on which setup I like the best lookswise, but performancewise the 4-2 pipes are just too restrictive.
Might try opening them up a little....  ;)
The black 4-4 pipes kinda gives a CR750-look to the bike but the chrome 4-2 looks more "brittish sixties cafe".....

What do you guys think?

The making of the article was a cool experience though standing in front of a camera is NOT my favourite thing to do  :P
Why they stuck my face on the cover instead of the bike is beyond me  ???

Cheers
Daniel

Those black 4 into 4 every time.
I thought your bike looked good with the 4 into 2 but the present set up tells what it's all about, 4 cylinders ;)
Check the pipes in the CR link in my signature, sounds awesome Dan.

The black pipes have never left their place on the bike.
The photoshoot for the article was done two weeks before the black pipes were finished and mounted  :)

What tires are those, DME?

The tires are Metzeler Perfect ME77 (rear) and Perfect ME11 (front).
I like the classic look they have, here´s a link to them:
