The number of low speed washouts was enough to make me take the truck this morning since it was wet.

Also the dudes going off cliffs, under trucks and burning alive :(

I saw one part where a freakin' telephone pole simply just fell on a rider, that's some lovely luck, man.

Edit: And a wheel rolling up and across a median, hitting a rider in the head.

Of course not, boxer Beemers are literally the worst things to turn into cafe racers and I really don't understand why there's such a vogue for doing so.

e: Actually... isn't that just stock?

ee: Doh of course it isn't. Still isn't even vaguely "cafe racer"-ish, exhausts apart it's more streetfighter, and if the hipsters have now moved on to completely misunderstanding streetfighters me and them are going to tangle

I can only assume it must be the PTSD that's blocking your memory of those K bike cafe conversions in Shoreditch.

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
It's definitely a "cafe racer" in the sense that people mean it today, which is "custom bike"

Bonus cafe racer points:
+ satin-finish paint job (-5 points for not being matte finish)
+ extra thin seat
+ dirt tires on a street bike
+ fork gaiters on a street bike
+ inappropriate modern headlamp
+ excessively loud exhaust (likely)

But hell, whatever, I'd ride it if I could put on real tires and if the exhaust wasn't obnoxious. At least it's clean and looks to be in good shape.

'71 CL350, same as mine! Nice shape -- hard to tell if that's the stock paint or not. They did come in "poppy yellow metallic" in that year, but it's usually brighter than in that picture. But if it's repainted they did bother to recreate the same tank graphics so that's neat. And the owner needs to get better tires.

TBF most of the true garbage is just the terrible spray paint on every metal part, and dry ice blasting would take it right off without leaving any residue. If they have access to that equipment and they got the bike for almost nothing, it might be worth it.

Going to have to replace the tires and intake boots and turn signal lenses and all the other rubber/plastic pieces he painted though :allears:

e: and that carb with the cover epoxied on :laffo:

e2: and replace the wiring harness. hmm. Well, maybe they got it for free, or for like a hundred bucks.

Even after media blasting the poo poo out of it, that bike is a donor motor and nothing else. What a piece of poo poo.

I had a friend that does that exact kind of poo poo to everything, down to the color choice. He's super super hyper, very immature, impulsive, starts a million projects and half asses all of them. He also buys the cheapest garbage and claims he got a fantastic deal. He would loving love to buy that garbage bike, I actually went on facebook to see if it was his bike.

CB750, 1984. One of my bikes was stolen by methheads (that were later arrested riding it with meth in their system and in their pockets), and they had gifted the bike an almost identical paint job.

Looks like it was originally a 1984-86 CB750SC / Nighthawk S.



Really loving disappointing that the kid ruined it like that because it is another one of those bikes that has ultimate 1980s style. Check out those gauges
