Wise words mate.....took a ride to the Ace last summer and had a good time amongst like minded types. You been out and about on your Café this year yet?

Cheers Bud

Vinny, Wow, looking very professional, especially as a first build. A reminder to us all to take our time to get the end result correct and true to the vision. Will she be ready this season?

Very nice, love the suspension set up....how's the longer swing arm feel?
