Most people don't get free bikes dropped off at their door, that only require an oil change and few jimmy rigs to turn into a reliable motorcycle.
Also, that's not a cafe race. And by your definition of a cafe racer, you could call every bobber and chopper a cafe racer by your definition. I would say a proper definition for a cafe racer would be a bike that has the style of 60-70's race bike but is mechanically and/or cosmetically tamed down for the street.
Good for you tho on your economical builds, seriously props to you. Just don't go around telling people you "built" a cafe racer for 10 bucks...

Don't fuckin show up to our party, not introduce yourself in any way and take a huge dump all over this forum. Get lost, we won't miss you or what you offer one bit.
getindachoppa said:Yes people can build an extremely affordable bike for little more than a cheap bottle of scotch would cost. Im here to inspire people so take your negative attitude and your happy ass somewhere else.... ANYBODY GOT A QUESTION FOR ME?
Brodie said:What the hell kind of scotch can you get for $10?!? Now I am interested.

Looks alright to me.

Choppa, well done on the bike. Nice looking lil fighter you have. If you want to show off your build, great! If you want to show that you built a bike for $10, good on ya. Why not show HOW you built the bike? More pics, show us some of your fabrication abilities, what did you make? did you scrounge for scrap metal to save money?
The reason everyone is giving you a hard time is, it really appears that you lucked out on a pile of free bike parts(not everyone can do that), shoveled it into your garage then reassembled it and changed the oil and called it a cafe racer build.
Nobody is going to ask you questions or advice if you have no proof that you can do anything. Most people here can assemble a pile of parts into something ride-able. Personally, I'd like to see your build. I enjoy and take inspiration from people applying their skills to build parts from scratch. Let's see it!
Coming in as a new member to a forum, posting a pic or two, picking fights and making outrageous claims is no way to make friends. This is a place where friends - whether we've met in person or not - get together and talk bikes, reminisce about old times, show off our skills and ask for help when it's needed. Put your (lack of) money where your mouth is. I want to see how this street fighter was born.

And where's the stop light on that one you sold? how do you sneak a bike past inspection and get it registered for street use with no stop light?
