I must point out that "living the style" has ALWAYS consisted of shit talking and ragging on other peoples rides. It is what IT is.quote:Originally posted by Swagger
This isn't a dig at anyone in particular, but ya know the thing that bugs me more than anything?
Purists.
I just finished Colin Seeley's biography as well as one of the many "history of the cafe racer" books and there was all manner of handlebar configurations used. You guys will get moist over some moped converted to look "Cafe" but someone really living the style ie: run whatcha brung...well....they need to be bitch slapped.
C'mon guys, give it a rest already.

there is also a difference in appreciating craftsmanship vs appreciating the look. The last two mopeds I recall on this forum had major frame construction to look the way they did and I think that a lot of the people who posted about them recognized that there was a lot of time and skill and thought involved in making a custom frame.quote:Originally posted by Swagger
