We didn't drink and take drug's. We were not old enough to drink
and drug's were not as available as they are today.
We met at cafe's because they had lights on and a place to park.

I thought cafe racing was getting your skinny jeans, leather jacket and cruising on down to your local cafe so you can buy overpriced coffee.
Anyone notice the guy going out with his sidestand down? 0:15
heavy breathing*
Hi.. i need information about the red honda in 0:11–0:15 minute.. but this honda.

cafe racers[not caffey racers]is a fashion statement,back in the day we built and rode raw brits from the ace cafe to the blinking owl cafe and back for the thrill absolutely by the seat of your skinny arsed jeans,they do look superb , but they've sold out to affluence,shame really:-(
I love crassic

"Not available in MY COUNTRY. " WHY THE FUCK NOT? Is this CENSORSHIP? We have freedom of speech in USA

Which Bike is that Cafe Racer at 2:39?
Cafe race is nice cafe racer is wonderful.
The true spirit of the original cafe racers is embodied far more by the working class guys riding modern streetfighters & tricked up sports bikes than by the middle class hipsters of the current 'scene'
Thats not me hating hipsters, just a statement of fact. The only guys I've ever met at a proper greasy spoon cafe to go tearing up the countryside at twice the speed limit were all the former, not the latter

that's my world
You Guys just talk a lot of sense , Brilliant ,,,,,RESPECT
Cafe Racers should be modified by the owner, not getting a custom company to make a cafe style bike then picking it up when it is finished.
