We are happy to announce the Inaugural Ride of the Month here at CafeRacer.net!* Post pics of your complete, or "getting there" ride (We're never done, are we?) and be subjected to the scrutiny of your evil corporate overlords for cash. We'll pick the best ride based on platform, upgrades, quality of workmanship, and photography. Winner gets a $25 gift certificate from Amazon.com, and a temporary boost to their ego, based on accolades received electronically in the form of internet text.
Simply post the best pic of your bike!
We welcome everyone including vendors to participate, however we will not pick the same winner within a 3 month period.
Rules for entry are below:
The photo must be attached to a post in this thread
Limit photos to one post.
You must be the owner of the bike.
This first one will run through December, just to blow the dust off. Contest will close on December 20th at 4:00 pm CST.
Incredible. Kenessex has my vote.
the number of new people posting has gone up exponentially since this thread was opened. The character of this site is about to change dramatically.
Welcome to DTT lite.
Here's my submission, its what I am wrenching on at the moment. I have done nothing to except get it running, I do have big plans to increase performance, handling & lighten it up some.
well - with all the new posters I got 1st alarmed but most seem old lurkers with aged handles. Is it really so that we have a huge crowd of lurkers (some with interesting bikes!) who have registered but never posted but now in the dreams of getting $25 they post up?. Kind of interesting.

the email must have encouraged all the new faces. Its not bad imo.
ride of the month though - I 1st though that it was about riding together once a month... Figured I couldn't join since on the wrong side of the Atlantic
The resistance is that more of the people showing up are only interested in a look, or just have hipster bait bikes.
But guess that gives us more people to talk to.....
It has two records so far
One for modified fuel 100cc four stroke at 77.37
And one with a fairing (you can see it in the "before and after" forum) at 80.2 mph
Workin on a four valve head now to go back in the spring and shoot for 90mph
I hope
Some of this stuff being posted I really like. It's just not really in step with the tone of this forum(at least in the past). I'm an old curmudgeon who hates progress and change. I'm gonna find a picture to post too.
We run it in Ohio at the East Coast Timing Association races.
They are held four times a year. I'm an Automechanics teacher and the entire bike was designed built and painted by my students.
Plan to run the head and jug from a crf150r (4valve) on an SL 100 block. Looks like with a little welding and grinding it'll fit.
Gotta destroke the crank to stay down on cc's tho.
Our other option is to cut a billet head from scratch with our own port design.
The 2valve made 13hp on our local Dyno. Hoping for 18-20
built in ****..style. ugh. drag style as in drag queen style?
can I post a video:
I guess it will not qualify as I don't have the bike anymore. I loaded all my stuff in an container and the c100 was in bits. Just when I popped a beer after the container truck left I saw the frame in bubble wrap in my back yard. So everything else but the frame I still have here in Finland...
Here's a pic of my GT750 set up as a casual street tracker look at the drag strip - where it is completely the wrong set up. That's what happens when you go for a certain "look". Oh the shame of it. But we did set a national record and as long as I keep trying to beat the other guy to turn one, I'll be OK

Thanks for the compliment, I think....
For the photo I put a white bed sheet on the ground to pick up the metal highlights, which I then cloned out (poorly). No other work was done on the photo.
