Well of course this classic, he´s an actual aristocrat and not some american trash. : https://youtu.be/0rlFie2B9xE

Those are so nice. I had a XBR which is essentially the same bu t ugly. It rides the same though. I would throw a tuned up dominator engine in the spare one, the stock engine is not that powerful. Also get some rear shocks and progressive springs.

I have ridden over 40k km with my -95 cb sevenfifty. I hope the clock to hit 100k this summer (79k now).

I´ve ridden plenty in jeans and unpadded jacket, with an open face. Mostly I wore full leathers though, because jeans flap around and don´t keep the wind out. It´s rare that we have the kind of weather that you can ride in just jeans. Now I ride in full armour and full face helmet. Didn´t...

Only downside to leathers (apart from looking a bit gayish) is that they´re bit hot in the summer. That´s only a problem while stopped though. I only ride in full leather, but I´m waiting on a good deal on kevlar jeans. It was -3C this morning and my leathers were still warm enough.

It´s the same in Finland, I´ve never seen a biker put another biker down, no matter what they rode. Around here even the middle age leather guys (who all ride japanese customs here, not harleys) are cool enought to wave on the road and shoot crap on rest stops. I do get weird looks sometimes...

These are for from my workplace, took them for a broshure. I work as a designer though. Olympus DSLR with old OM manual lens.

Whats everyones opinions on wax cotton jackets? I know they´re kinda hip at the moment but then again so are cafe racers.. :) I need somethig waterproof to accompany my leathers, and that´s the traditional material. And I really like the look of aged wax cotton. Already ride with an open...

Man, that´s a great deal. One Streettacker, one trail bike, the extra motor in some 250cc street bike frame? I´ve got XBR 500, which is essence is an XR motor in streetbike frame. Thumpers FTW. :)

The thing with kafka is that you don´t have to roll the brush, it´s way easier to get tight curves. Getting clean sharp connections is easier with a traditional brush.

Start with a regular sword and when you can lay lines with it, you can start finding your own style and different brushes. If you can pull a tight curve with a blue mack, you can do that with pretty much any brush. Kafka stripers are the easiest to get good curves with, I use mostly Kafka and...

Keep the cans upside down when not using them.

Let´s just hope they´re sub 200€ and you´ll sell like cupcakes, I know I´ll buy a set. Any timeline?

That bikini was cut from an uglyass puig screen and it only looks good from a distance. Also it doesn´t help one bit with the wind :) The clip-ons and light will come down as soon as I have the time to take the front apart.

to-do list, in importance order: 1. new rear tire 2. Replacing the leaking rear shocks with gas ones 3. Lower clip-ons, either stock under the triple or straight ones. 4. New stiffer springs to frontend 5. Either ducati ss half-fairing or generic cafe 1/4 fairing. 6. Spoked wheels 7. New...
