That is the MOST ridiculous thing I have ever seen...
Cafe Racing is mainly a matter of taste. It is an atavistic mentality, a peculiar mix of low style, high speed, pure dumbness, and overweening commitment to the Cafe Life and all its dangerous pleasures. I am a Cafe Racer myself, on some days - and it is one of my finest addictions. ~H. S. Thompson~

good. I am so #$%*ing tired of seeing riders looking like they're doing the Y of YMCA on their choppers.  How do you STEER? How do you CORNER?!  Finally the fashion police have spoken and said "That, sir, is #$%*ing ugly and ridiculous on that bike.  It is also now illegal.  Good day, Sir.  I SAID GOOD DAY!!!"


Just messin' ;D
I can just imagine that being said, though, then someone coming back and saying:

"I built up my chopper/bobber/rat/hooligan THE WAY I WANT TO and I have the FREEDOM to make that choice.  Who cares what you think! Choppers need Apes! They're the American Way!"

....and then people will start calling other people hitler (because Hitler is always mentioned in threads that refer to Harleys, good OR bad) stalin, pol pot, and chairman mao.  We'll have fascists, haters, and damn liberals.  Then Bob or Steve will again sigh, weep real tears for the apparent loss of self-control and humanity on yet another forum thread and lock the thing, but not before someone (or a couple of people) have "had their fill" and deleted their accounts.


ok everyone, lights... camera.... action!

The Y of YMCA...   :D :D :D

Pol Pot  :D :D
