"There are some things nobody needs in this world, and a bright-red, hunch-back, warp-speed 900cc cafe racer is one of them — but I want one anyway, and on some days I actually believe I need one....

I'm still hoping to find that one under a tarp in a back corner of a barn somewhere!  ::)

What's the chances?

Sure are a lot of nice pics to use as a guide to make a (visually, anyway)  replica.  How cool would that be..?
