Topic: please post cafe pictures, info, etc here. i need help explaining to a friend

[EdB]

I have a friend that is an artist. i asked him to make up a picture that i could use as a decal for the bike, pic for a shirt whatever. while i know kinda what i want, he isn't familiar with the "cafe bike" theme. so to make it easier i would like to post as much info on the subject and direct him here to see. so post any pictures, brochures, websites etc. on cafe bikes, "mods vs rockers", doin the ton, etc. i'm gonna send him the wiki nentry for cafe bikes and carpy's and benjies site so he can see what the bikes look like but they dont really show the attitude and image that the old cafe's had. seems like a bit much for a pic but he's more creative than i am so the more he knows the more he'll be able to come up with.  thanks a bunch.

give the baddest, coolest look to a little bitty bike and call it cafe...

[heffay]

by baddest... i mean black
by coolest... i mean chrome
by cafe... i mean custom

do it how you want but cut the seat, drop the mirrors and bars and bring it up a decibel or two!

hey funjimmy, is there a bigger version of your avatar?

[rbmgf7]

get your friend to listen to some rockabilly; the genre of cafe bikes and hot rods. maybe he can picture things better with the preachings of the Reverend.

I used that same photo to create a shirt design for a friend.  Here's how we used it:



Hope that helps...
