Hello everyone!
My name is Alex. I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I love motors, wheels, and mechanical shtuff. I ride dirt bikes mostly. I have done a full frame up restoration on a '73 Honda XL250. It was a fantastic project that turned out well and I learned a lot. I'm late getting into motorcycles, now 39 years old. It's been a few years now, though, that I've liked (loved, actually) the style and draw of the cafe racer bikes. To be honest though, since I was new to bikes, I didn't even know what they were called. Admittedly, I ran across a probably well known tv show and that's where I was introduced to the name and a little bit about cafe racers. I know of nobody who owns one but I am determined to build one. Fear not, I have read the beginner sticky and the FAQs. I won't ask any of those questions. I know how to search for info and will set out on that first I'm excited to begin on this project and I felt that this would be a good first step, admitting I have a cafe racer addiction If anyone wasn't bored to tears by my introduction and is still reading, I'd gladly take ANY tips or pointers. I'm excited, this is gonna be fun!!
