Cafe Racer The History
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J_OVRn03r8

Motoculturel



This is not intended as a complete history, rather a look at the highpoints in the café scene which is timely because in recent years, it seems that the term “Café Racer” can be applied to any old motorcycle that has been spray-painted black and fitted with pipe wrap. However, motorcycle enthusiasts who raced each other from café to café were the true Café Racers in the UK during the 1960s.

The most famous of which is the Ace Café, in London, which is still in existence today. There is also a suggestion that the term Café Racer was created as the riders were only pretending to be racers as, instead of using their modified bikes, they just parked them outside cafes to show off. It may also be part of motorcycle folklore too, but it is rumored that these riders would apparently select a record on a café’s jukebox and then race each other to a predetermined place, with the objective of getting back before the record finished.

This would then prove their bike was capable of hitting 100 mph. A café racer is a lightweight, lightly powered motorcycle optimized for speed and handling rather than comfort – and for quick rides over short distances. With bodywork and control layout recalling early 1960's Grand Prix road racing motorcycles, café racers are noted for their visual minimalism, featuring low-mounted handlebars, prominent seat cowling and elongated fuel tank – and frequently knee-grips indented in the fuel tank.

The term developed among British motorcycle enthusiasts of the early 1960s, specifically the Rocker or "Ton-Up Boys" subculture, where the bikes were used for short, quick rides between cafés – in other words, drinking establishments.

A bit of history: Mods and Rockers
It was not always about fighting......
"We looked good going slow....."
"We looked good going fast!...."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miiopvQDP3M

around 27 min, Chelsea Bridge and Ace cafe...
around 30 minutes, the music......from America!...
35 min......there was no Red Bull!
40 min media stirs them up....
57 min Carnaby street style, British bands....
Best generation EVER!

docludi2

An entertaining and informative one hour BBC program about the 1960's Mods and Rockers. Clarifying the relationship between the two youth groups. The documentary reveals the medias major involvement in transforming the youthful lifestyle rivalry, into enmity.

And there it is- the Johnson's Transport Caff. (This was the hangout of the JOHNSON'S MOTORCYCLE CLUB! I hung out there, back in '65- '66. I was there- three or four nites a week & most weekends. I rode a '58 Enfieldld Meteor Minor Airflow Deluxe, (the one that came with a factory fiberglass touring fairing on it- very handy in the rain). I bitched about that bike- but it never failed to get me home- even when I crashed it- and it never leaked oil. You can't ask for more than that.

The young fellows that I hung out there with- finest bunch of yobs I ever met! And I will never forget- Harry Johnson, (the guy who owned that caff. First time I was introduced to him, he glared at me, and he said: "We got one rule here- you never show up here while on drugs or alcohol, and you never bring any of that shit- here! Becauseif you do- you are gone and you don't come back- is that clear?) I never once saw either of those things there- I would have known, because I was one of 'em!

Harry arranged for us- to have a go, around Brands Hatch, one Sunday afternoon. We went out in a bunch, and did one lap. Such fun! On the second lap, I come flying into Paddock Bend, only about 10 mph more than I done before. (Paddock is a downhill right- hander.) My suspenders bottomed at the apex, and I went into a tank slapper, (scared the crap outta meself!) Keep it up! Surrrounded by bikes! And some guy came flying past on the inside, with a huge grin on his face! Looked like he was out for a Sunday romp!?! Afterwards, I went into the pits and asked who this guy is? "He is called the King of Brands!"

That's interesting- how did he get that name? "Because he can get around this track- faster than anybody else. His name, is Derek Minter- he lives just up the road." I done the 'Ton- for the very first time in my life- between that caff and West Kingsdowne. Never forgot that. The guy I was riding with, that nite- was 'Mad Johnny'. He was riding a 500 BSA Goldie- and it had all the Taylor-Dow mods on it. (Musta cost him a fortune!) We knew all the local hangouts.

I got taken to the 59 Club one nite, (But I never got to meet Father Bill Shergold. The 59 Club was a hoot. (If you were stuck in London at nite, Bill Shergold would rent you a pew to sleep in- for a couple of bob. But Ya had to be out before morning services started!?! It was just fascinating-all of it! Super bunch of people!

I built a Triton, over there- and brung it back to Canada with me, in the winter of '68. Pulled wrenches in bikeshops for the next 3-4 years. Still riding- and am now 73 years old. Am a member of the VINTAGE ROAD RACERS ASSOCIATION- here in Ontario. (Check us out online- fine bunch of total gearheads!) Not all the caffs served alcohol- Harry didn't. He deserves to be remembered for that. (It was a good scene- and still is!)

Unlike Billy, I "get" choppers -- there are right ways and wrong ways, smart ways and dumb ways, to build one. Lusted for one ever since I saw 'em in "Street Chopper" magazine, in the 60's. But I definitely love the whole cafe racer thing, too, though I acquired that taste somewhat later in life. Currently working on a discarded Honda 400, which MIGHT do the ton (with luck, good tuning, and perhaps running downhill with a wind at me back!)

Unlike the purists, I feel you can take any bike ya like and customize it, in any manner ya like. Hey, did you notice one of the famous racers of the time promoting disc-brake conversions? There's a reason for that; and Mikuni's on a Brit bike are there, because they WORK. After all, that's what the original rockers were doing: tweaking and improving OEM machines.

Hey, anyone interested in such things, check out the Full Moon Lone Riders. Our next newlsetter issue ("Lone Wolf") is gonna be top-heavy with cafe racers. Because I'm the editor, that's why...
