    There's a beauty of a Rickman 650 Trumpet in this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWkQTbR_-xA

    The Bonnie is nice but the Rickman really tickles my happy bits, nothing sounds like an old British twin winding through a canyon

    I have few wants in life, but a big one is an RD400 to cafe.
    Small, light, flickable, punches above it's displacement and lays sweet clouds of blue smoke everywhere you go...

    Shit that's nice. The Harley cafe racer is a hard one to pull off properly, for every good one there are lots that just don't quite get it right but that one nailed it.
    Lots of the Japanese custom builders do amazing Harleys, I would love to go over to Japan one year for the Mooneyes show.

    Aaaah, the SR500 in the garage is calling me now! It needs clip-ons and rearsets and a racey tail section...

    Edit: this one is grouse too, I would like to try making up a glass tracker style tail like that with the LED brakelight strip...

    Best thread ever.
    I like to think I have a modern cafe-esque bike and a cafe bike in my garage (I love being in my mind)
