Get ready to sell boys! The money train is coming and it only lasts a little while until they find a new "thing". Then we buy them all back for pennies. hahahahaha.
Oh geez. Our passion has become their fad. Well, for some extra cash, I'll just put an ad on facebook, "Attention Hipsters. When something goes wrong with your motorcycle, call me and I'll fix it - because I know full well you have no idea what to do."
I thought cafe bikes were already going out of style as the new thing. Seemed like prices had already been dropping, maybe Rolling Stone is just late to the party.
certainly not og. I have had my run ins with hipsters and I despise them. I real guy who has a passion for his ride is easy to differentiate. New to the "cult" or not.lol. it was said to me at a local cafe and I quote " thats a nice bike, but REAL cafe racers are British". This was said in an extremely condescending tone. My response was "get the fuck away from me before I beat you with a length of 530 chain." I ride a kawasaki kh500 by the by. That is the hipster attitude. A compliment and a snide insult wrapped into one. I feel that their locust like actions cheapen my lifestyle and personal passions. If you are a genuine cafe rider or rocker or just enthusiast you got no worries man. We can smell our own
I think it's the difference between buying into a "culture" for lack of a better word, and taking your lumps and actually learning how to fix these old bikes up. By the time I'm finished a project, or even half way through, I look at the numbers and think to myself that I could have gone online and purchased just about the same bike for way less money. I then mentally bitch-slap myself, and remind myself that, that isn't the point to all of this.

well said.
I put passion into whatever I do. When working on my car, my bike, or my home, I give it everything I've got. It seems there are quite a few like-minded people here, and I'm enjoying this site so far.
Jake- I too, at times, have thought it would have been cheaper and/ or easier to just buy a bike someone else has already modified. I came to the conclusion that most of the appeal for me is actually getting elbows deep (sometimes deeper ) into my projects. Being able to wrench on something, see your vision come to life, while learning during the process is the only way to be!
