I share your feeling.

Just a shame it is only a couple of people, of which Lornce is trying particulary hard, destroying this fabulous thread.

I think it does even more than destroying this thread, it kills the fun of sharing your bike with others. This thread is one of the first google hits for caferacer and forum. Not many will feel happy to share their bike after reading the last couple of pages.

Another case of a few killing the fun for many.

Lornce: Cut it out.

Thanks.

Mod hat on,

I'm pretty sure kbasa gets it, too. But he's required to appease the whiny cnuts.

Rode one of these around Japan a few years ago. Very sweet fine motorcycles.

I've mixed it up on the track with this guy a few times.

He gets around quite well on a variety of bikes.

Michigan's Grattan Race Track is a ton of fun.

It's cool and I like it (and fun is all that really counts). I guess like a lot of subscribers I'm getting tired of this thread being poluted by bikes that are patently not Cafe's (and diluted categories like "cafe tracker" doesn't help).

p.s. Lornce, do you really think that all those original Norton's and BSA's that were cafe'd met your criteria of improvement? They were influenced by the TT and just youthful contrariness as much as anything. I'll bet some of them were crap to ride.

Well then................

I'm sure that's what he meant by "Lornce: Cut it out.".

Really. What's going on here? Is it so hard to be happy looking at nice bikes?

Here's mine. Say something mean and I'll cry. And close the thread and ban everyone.
