Cafe Racer

cdaiscool
Apparently there's this show on tv called Cafe Racer. They're showcasing a few different bikes this episode. Including an old Norton.

It's on some channel called Veloc. Perhaps Velocity, idk, Never seen it before.

Gotta admit, while not my style, not bad.


THE SHOWCASED BIKE IS A HONDA SUPER SPORT. HECK YES.
Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?

Episode is called Dime City. They're working out of a shop called Dime City Cycles out of Florida.

Awesome.

After looking for a couple minutes, this is all I was able to find. I'm sure there's more though.

Do you use any p2p or bit torrent sites?

Check out this video of that cafe program where in the beginning this
real meathead slams down on a triple clamp with a big hammer, on one side of it. Stupid.

I wonder if the whole program is just short snipits where you do not really
get to see anything for more than a second or two.

Real attention deficit disorder people.

Looks like one of them shows where its cool to tear up stuff.You know,take off a part not used for that particular build and fling it across the room. I hate that. I can't stand to watch things be abused for no reason. I never grew up with much,and dont have a whole more now,but I do take care of what I DO have.

I'm saying at least SOMEONE made a SOHC badass.

Cafe Racer is how I got hooked on these old bikes. Most of the builders are good and really take care of the old parts they take off, unless it can't be used anymore. It's a cool show, I got at least 25 episodes loaded in the DVR.

Exactly. And I always think...I may want it or need it, but it may be the perfect part for someone else.
