Re: What did I get myself into? I got them on my tank last week and need to make improvements. They look pretty cool now, but could be better. There not for everyone (obviously)...some prefer rainbows where others like sculls. I'll post some pictures when I get them perfected. I have a...

Re: What did I get myself into? I think pin stripes are "tacky." The legs look good...would be better without the "tacky" socks.

Re: What did I get myself into? Checkers are a timeless classic look. I make "scull and cross bone" stripes if you're interested...I hate pin stripes! >:(

I'm new to the site and just read the thread. Just wanted to say that I'm really glad you're okay and recovering. I have been through it myself, my friend. When my wife was pregnant with my first born son (8 years ago), I had a head on collision (it the air!) with another motorcycle (this was...

Try Rustoleum Appliance Paint. The colors are limited, but it cures in about a week and it's pretty hard.

That seat is awesome! Love the chopper, too. Thanks--I had no idea making a leather seat is that easy.

People used to laugh about helmets. I wish I would have had one three months ago...now I'm facing shoulder surgery.

I have some pictures, but let me warn you...the concept I'm shooting for is a bit unusual. Keep an open mind (most people thought the Wright brothers were crazy). A little background first. When I first got the KZ twin home, I was really exited until I removed the tank. I had no idea the...

Yeah...the tank is a little big. I sat on it today and I figure I'll have to take some off the back end or lose 20 lbs. The tanks is extremely narrow, which I wanted. We'll see how it goes...it may just end up a huge fireball!

The Honda CM 400 was my very first bike...man, that was a long time ago. I have more vivid memories on that bike than any other (first time's always the best they say). I'm starting my first cafe build also, so I'm not a lot of help. I do know that you have a very dependable bike with plenty...

The ribs are the worst! They take a long time to heal. I broke my tail bone when I was 21 (showing off doing wheelies) and it has never completely healed--I can seated for maybe 3 hours tops (keeps me off the seat on my dirt bike...on the plus side). My shhoulder is the real problem--I've...

Hello everyone! I've been "lurking" for a few days and I'm really liking this site. I'm not typically a forum kinda' guy, but I can tell that I'm going to learn a lot here. I've been hooked on cafe bikes for about ten years now. I've always had a dirtbike in the garage...I think a man needs...

I ran accross some "real bikers" about 2 years ago. I was riding dirt bikes with two buddies and we accidently "dusted" them out at this biker bar (the bar sits off the highway and dirt trails lead to it from the back). I immediately applogized and bought all of them a round of beers (I think...

I have recently had to face the reality of "no more racing." I'm an off roader with roots in MX and enduros. I'm a die hard KTM fan, but I also love cafe racers. My latest injury has forced me to make some tough decisions and I've decided to spend more time on road bikes. (it takes a long...

I'm 44. I've been riding since I was 15 years old. My first bike was a Honda CM 400. I've been riding dirt bikes for many years and haven't had a street bike since '98 (I had a sick KZ 1000 street fighter). Anyway, I just got the cafe bug back and bought a KZ 750 twin basket case for $50...

I'm a special educaion teacher. My second career--I have a BS in business and worked as a transportation manager for about 10 years. My oldest son was diagnosed with autsim (about 6 years ago) and I went back to school to get a spec. ed. teaching credential. Teaching is the best job I have...

Hi Dan. Just read your thread--I'm a new member and the father of an autistic boy. Your brohter is very lucky to have support from his family. When my son was diagnosed six years ago, my life completely changed. I have grown so much becuase of my son--I am now a special ed teacher and I work...
