Dash point road is a fun road, just wish it was a bit longer and the speed limit was higher...  You will have to get out for a ride with us this summer.

Little ride video from yesterday with forum member brandEn. 

2 cb750f's

Awesome!

Consider me inspired! I love everything about this bike. You have me thinking of so many things right now. I currently don't have a bike. But one night, while on stumbleupon, it showed me some cafe racers. I was genuinely interested and I simply fell in love with the entire concept of a cafe racer. Do you got any tips for a future cafe racer such as myself?

Thanks for checking out my build!  No real pointers here just spend time researching this forum and others so you know what you want to build.  Learn from others mistakes and ask questions.

Sorry, not film, SLR Rebel.  I have had it for about 5 years so I call it the "old" rebel.

I upgraded from the f1.8 a while ago to the 50mm f1.4 (used on eBay), and it's great. The 1.8 is a little sharper on the rebels, and you can't beat the price. Everyone should have one, but the 1.4 is faster, quieter, focuses better, and is better quality. If you ever want to upgrade, I highly recommend it.

Hard to give it anything less than a compliment.  Everything I've come across on your build was thought out and chosen well, can give you nothing but a compliment since it's a muse to my own.

I have an engine build going in the HiPo section of the forum, but since the engine will be going in this bike I wanted to keep some of the build in this thread also.

915cc engine with some goodies.
