Haven't we gone through this before? Somebody gets on here with out a clue and ants to define what the "Cafe" way of life is. I sure hope we don't have to go through it again. Cafe is not a religion, way of life or a secret society with a cool handshake. I am glad that ole Speedy filled out his bio so we can bust on him with some background info. I wouldn't be basing my expertise on being a graduate of a motorcycle mechanics school. Try having a little respect for somebody with the experience, that lived in the day without having to Google Cafe Racer, to know what it is about. In my 15 years in the bike business as a service manager I had to fire plenty of young "experts" that just got some training and thought they actually knew something. Just because Kawtoy agreed with you doesn't make the other guy wrong, maybe both you and Kawtoy are wrong? Open your mind more and your mouth less and you might actually learn something.
There, I feel better now.
