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

Remember the DTT member who hydro-dipped his bike tins?

its a woody man
Hasn't he been trying to sell that one for a while? Maybe I'm mistaken about that.

The sad fact is that when he finally sells that thing for the inflated price of $3K, the first thing the new owner is going to do is remove the woodwork. It's beautiful but pointless. Blown glass is beautiful too, but I wouldn't buy a bike built out of it.
 
it isnt carried into the theme of the bike anywhere else. Thats what I dont get. forward of the little side panels and the seat the bike is pretty much stock

You could always grow a mustache and try some of the stunts from Hot Rod.
 
If he would paint the tank semi-gloss black, put wooden site panels/knee guards on the tank, and put little spots of brass or bronze here and there(Nuts, accent bolts, timing cover, Etc.). I think it could look cool, but still not worth the 3K! But it could look good if he went just a wee bit further AND he might actually get his asking price, because IMO it looks unfinished and unbalanced from the front side compared to the back...

Blown glass serves an important purpose :)
but yes I agree not on a bike.

"Lights work. Also *HAS* electric start."

We don't even get the über cliche "Ran when parked" on this one?

It looked like a pretty nice bike Hoosier, so I wouldn't be surprised!
