Doppio

I just recently got turned on to Cafe Racer's by my friend Jorge. I waited and waited for that cheap CB 750 to appear in my lap but alas it never came to fruition. After impatiently waiting for a CB 550 to fall from the sky for 500 bones I was beginning to give up hope. Then I saw Spidey's CB 450 Bonita Applebum build and was inspired that a small bike can still turn out awesome. I followed an ad in our local kijiji, (Kind of like Craigslist) and found a CB 360 that sort of runs. The owner said it sat in a Barn for at least 20 years, maybe it's true. The guy was willing to drop it off but the starter was broken so he dropped 50 quid and a deal was struck. He dropped it off last Saturday night. It is a little rough around the edges but I have big hopes for what I call Doppio Arroso. It is Italian for Double Roast. I love coffee and cafe's so what better build to dedicate to that love than a sweet little cafe racer. The bike is a twin to boot so Doppio sort of fits. I have just started to dismantle Doppio and will post pics soon.
