The Cult of the Cafe Racer
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1859150039?tag2=returnoftheca-20

Any know where I can get this book be it hardcopy or in electronic format(assuming someone has scanned it)?
Also if anyone has read it what was your opinion on it?

Thanks!

Come to think of it, building a cafe racer is a lot like the
true definition of a cult. I know for myself that it takes up my life
and demands I give it all my money.
Wierd!

But so do women, but I don't consider them a cult.   ;D

You can view some of the books` pages here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/reader/1872004199/ref=sib_dp_pt/203-4539498-6960721#reader-link

I actually have "Cafe Racers of the 1960s" which has a ton of cool pictures but I thought the two books where different. Is "Cafe Racers of the 1960s" just a reprint of "The Cult of the Cafe Racer" but w/ a different name?

Mmmmm, according to the Amazon info., they were published 3 days apart by different publishing houses (both seem to be UK houses).  Cult is 128 pages, while Cafe Racers is 96.  .

Ah yes, another sign that you are involved in a cult is not knowing
you are involved in it!!
