Here this will prove your point. CAFE GOES MAINSTREAM. Chanel bike complete with tools.  The bike may not roll well or have enough suspension. A True modern cafe.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Wow. Seriously. Forks, engine, headers about the only original bits? Maybe not even the forks from the caliper mounting. What IS that?

I would like it better if it said cylone on the seat and swingarm and had some glitter and maybe some leather fringe? also neon lighting would help. maybe some leds inside the brake drum. I also think there should be some speed holes in the header.

I'd like to know what he's pulling with this inspirational mode of two wheeled transport.
A horse float? A small caravan? A yacht? A diesel tanker? Our chain?
