Hi all.
I've been riding on two wheels since I was 10. I'm 29 now and spent the last 10 years riding sport bikes. I have owned each of the big 4's liter bikes as well as other sizes. Right now I'm not riding anything. I have an 03 cr250r that is perfect but I never use it. I recently got a '75 xl250 in a barn find and have it torn down to start restoring pieces here and there. I'm in no rush on that one.
My mechanic skills are sub par but what little I know came from pulling shit apart and figuring it out myself. I find myself sponging all types of information to become a better and more well rounded motorcyclist.
So, what am I doing here?
I can't tell you when or where I saw my first cafe but I do know that my two wheeled horizons have forever changed since. I was, for a very long time, interested solely in sport bikes but have come to have an affinity and appreciation for many other types and styles...including bobbers and streetfighters.
But there is just something about cafes that appeals to me in a way that none of the others do. I mostly love that every single one is very different! I have always been a fan of 50's and early 60's everything so that has a lot to do with my fascination as well I'm sure.
As of right now I am still researching and deciding what bike will be best for me to start with and I look forward to interacting with all of you. Many, many NOOB questions/statements to follow.
