    Cafe' Racer Demand?

    You seem an angry little fella. Shinya Kimura's bikes are not my cuppa, but they are different, and in an industrial way, beautiful. He also isnt afraid to put himself out there. ANY builder willing to do this has my respect. Are you willing? Picture was taken with my camera.

    Cafe' Racer Demand?

    I think if you build the right bike there are plenty of guys with money to spend. You really need to bring something original to the table. Turning out the same cafe bike aint gonna do it. Look at Falcon motorcycles. Not sure if the guy makes money with all the time he has in a bike, but he...

    What is a cafe racer?

    C-los sd, Beautiful bike. Tim, I think your bike is what inspired me to build an XS. Personally I think a cafe bike is what you make it. I think it means different things, and eras for different people. I wasn't in England at the time, so cafe bikes are seventies two strokes, in southern...

    NASCAR, That's Adorable

    I will never understand the NASCAR hate. If it aint your thing don't watch, but why the angst. I don't care for drag racing. I don't hate on it either. Maybe it is a popularity thing with NASCAR. And no I am not much of a fan.

    Good Heart, Bad Intentions: another build thread

    Good sir, I have been a machinist for nearly thirty years. You have not one thing to be ashamed of. Everything on my XS build is done on a million dollar machining center, with all the latest software, but your innovations and well thought out plan completely inspire me (I fully stole your...

    An Xs like you've never seen before.

    The lines to me are painful. As a guy who also does everything other than plating, I very much appreciate what you have built. It takes balls to believe you can pull something off like what you have. I always respect that. Good luck with your business.

    Jamesgs4, I have a ton of time in machining the front motor mount. I would make you one but the price may be prohibitive.Thank you for the compliment! Hogrider, I am not sure, but it will have spokes. I have been playing with some Suzuki GS wheels that will get aluminum rims. I have also been...
