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

I really need an old boat right about now. Those 500 twins look real fun....

Could probably get this for around 300, do I bother with it?
 
that is a huge very heavy long shit slow handling bike
great cruiser or long distance commuter but a terrible choice for a bike to modify
besides it has over 50,000 miles holy crap

My French is useless so I can't even tell if it runs but For 300, it could blow up after a week, you sell a couple parts, and break even. I'd go for it.
 
Courtesy of Google translate: 'I sold my bike for parts only. It has not worked for over 10 years. She drank too much oil at the time.'

Delusional thoughts from Fantasy Island.

I saw this and was totally stoked, thought I'd pic that little CB up for $450 and have a time.. then saw he wants $6000 for it and $450 for the Big Wheel.
To be Geechee about it.. I tole da boy noooo

OMG!
I can't even imagine how hard this thing would be to get tuned with the vacuum cleaner hose he has on the pods.
Pods are hard enough but now it's about 10 times harder.
Probably getting rid of it because he can't figure out why it won't run right.

That might be the only way to get the CV carbs to run with pods. Just sayin.
 
those are not cv carbs but yeah that is the problem with engineers for the most part they are stupid fuckers with zero design sense :-\
an engineer is only a needed evil for the desingner,just a drone to do the math on loads, stress and all that shit
