Cafe Racers
DIVA photographic chronology of some of the fastest, most stylish, and most individualized bikes in motorcycling history./divDIV/divDIVOriginally used as a slur against riders who used hopped-up motorcycles to travel from one transport café to another, “café racer� describes a bike genre that first became popular in 1960s British rocker subculture—although the motorcycles were also common in Italy, France, and other European countries. The rebellious rock-and-roll counterculture is what first inspired these fast, personalized, and distinctive bikes, with their owners often racing down public roads in excess of 100 miles per hour (“ton up,� in British slang), leading to their public branding as “ton-up boys.� Café Racers traces café racer motorcycles from their origins in the mid-twentieth century all the way into modern times, where the style has made a recent comeback in North America and Europe alike, through the museum-quality portraiture of top motorcycle photographer Michael Lichter and the text of motorcycle culture expert Paul d’Orléans. Chronologically illustrated with fascinating historical photography, the book travels through the numerous ever-morphing and unique eras of these nimble, lean, light, and head-turning machines. Café Racers visually celebrates a motorcycle riding culture as complex as the vast array of bikes within it./div

The first time that I thought about building a Cafe Racer some years ago, my mechanical knowledge was limited. I had no idea about design, and of course, I did not know the regulations regarding the homologation of reforms on a motorcycle. The result: a Ducati Forza from the 79, painted and upholstered by myself, almost impossible to ride, and of course not homologable to circulate in any Spanish city. I had to sell it in pieces because the mess could not be solved in any other way. After Lucky, my Ducati's name, many more came. I spent countless hours training and in my workshop, along with failures and victories. That time was dedicated to what I liked most: restoring and transforming motorcycles. I love what I do, and I love telling it. Through this book I want to help you avoid making the same mistakes I did when I started, and above all, to show you that you can do it. You can choose a motorcycle that will be the basis of your Cafe Racer project. You can design your dream motorcycle yourself. You can get the elements and mount them on the chassis. You can get everything to work perfectly. And finally, I want to show you that you will only need a toolbox, a small workshop (even a storage room), and lots of lots of desires. I am not a mechanic by any means, although I admire them with all my heart. Thanks to listening to them, I've learned a lot of what I know. However, like doctors, they sometimes speak in a language that is very complicated for common folk to understand. I'm going to tell you how to build a Cafe Racer as if we were having a beer in the bar next to the workshop, with words that everyone understands, because that is my dream: to bring motorcycle transformations to people like you and me. Here begins the road... do you go up?
