    "Cafe Racer" such a loose term! Craigslist "Gem" of the week!

    It's getting pretty insane. I see a lot of 750's on E-bay that are relisted time after time for months... People forget we got in this hobby because old bikes are fun and interesting to work on. $10k??? You can keep it. Reality was, yes they were dependable, but fairly piggish and poor handling...

    I'm Glad you're fine, check the rear rim for trueness, may have just knocked the axle loose. My kid got hit recently, and it's going to be a long row to hoe, but his gear saved his life....

    I have an 2012, the seat sucks, I changed mine and got a pretty price for the stocker at the swap meet. I installed lower bars and megaphone pipes and ride the heck out of it. Really enjoyable bike. The only reason I'd get rid of it would be to get the new 1200. I upgraded to Hagon and...

    Of course it's your bike to do with what you will. My father had one (full on Harley guy, but took it in a trade) and I always dreamed of finding it. They are amazing bikes, just felt more sophisticated than a Honda or other 550's I'd ridden. That is sooooo complete and nice, I wouldn't touch a...

    Well, not the car, but a new fuel pump. I thought people would enjoy a pic of the car over a pic of the F/P...

    I've had about a dozen of these over the years. Don't know why I keep going back to them, a little small for my fat ass, but that being said, they are a hoot to ride. Once you get them rolling, they handle pretty well and can move at a pretty brisk rate. You got the bike for the price of the...

    A couple years back, I went to the local Ducati dealer looking for a 1000 G.T. and ended up with a Tuono. Absolutely the most fun I ever had on bikes. Point and shoot, every time I thought I was in trouble, the bike always pulled me through. They may not do any one thing best, but as a package...

    70k original miles. VERY healthy 5.9, immaculate interior. The rims will be the first to leave, but the rest of the truck really fits the bill for me. Plenty of room for my fishing gear and dog.

    CB77 yea or nay?

    I've owned several over the years, when sorted, they are a blast to ride. I hate that they've become pricey. Reality is, they are tiny and a little finicky (carbs. usually) and if you're 200lbs. or better, the brakes can be a touch iffy. That said, I've always had a fondness for these bikes and...

    That powder coating looks a lot like some Krylon "Hammered finish" stuff I have in the garage..... Just sayin.
