hope cafes arent on the rise... wouldnt want people ripping my style as usual. 
. i got a 77 cb750 cafed up in pennsylvania at my mother in laws. gets all sorts of attention, more then i ever expected from both young and older crowds.
here in tampa i recently started playing with a 72 cb500, that is slowly turning into a cafe (damn carbs giving me problems after a rebuild and holding me back from proceeding with my plans, but what fun would it be if there were never any obsticles right?)
anyone in the area want to start a cafe racer meet and ride or whatever (assuming i ever get the carbs working properly)?

oh yeah, if you want to see some sexy cafes, check out benjiescaferacer.com. custom one off tanks and seats among tons of other stuff. carpy builds some nice bikes but benjie's makes the sickest, imo, that arent mass produced, like that wakan, that thing is sexy as hell

Usually, most other bikers never consider old 70's and late 60's bikes as "cool" till they see one cafe'd up. In fact most bikers never even heard of cafe racers. But when they see 'em they like 'em. I think it has much to do with a return to a more simpler state of motorcycling. Bare bones essentials. Like classic hot rods.
Anyway....I'm down with a cafe meet. Fuel Cafe in Sarasota is having a cafe night coming up. Or I'm down with meeting up with any other cafe racer enthusiasts.
