I know this will raise the ire of some, but I am soooo tired of cafe bikes and they are all looking about the same. Each one of these is a very nice and very nicely done bike. But they are still about the same. I never much liked chopper/bobbers as a very practicable bike either. But in this case, it is the only one that really stands out. kinda like a whole row of HD's and one sohc4 parked in front of a bar. so....i guess I'll have to vote jreich.

My bike is the only cafe racer in my town.  In fact, I have never seen another cafe in my area.  Maybe you should consider leaving Cleveland and moving to where I live (as long as you can tolerate one cafe racer).   ;D







I still can't decide who to vote for.    :-\

Thanks for the support!

I'm sure is has nothing to do with the fact that you too own a beautiful red motorcycle!

Sorry loaferoatan.  There is always the January BOTM.  Some extra time to tweak it it out.  I believe December is for BOTY, run by one of the big bosses.

Not sure where he got his stuff but some of that looks like it comes from ttr400.com   he is also a member here as TTR400.  That is a sweet site.  You will spend some time there.
