My almost finished cafe racer project added to the stable. The Vespa is still missing its spare wheel as it was used to match the light blue on the Honda. Still have to have the new exhausts made to a classic style and tweak a few minor things but fundamentally there













And what the Honda started out as:

 

Fantastic way to get around town! Is it a 250? More importantly, what will be on the wrist when you are riding it?

 

Yep, 250 single cylinder. Watch was the one below today which was probably tempting fate as it is the watch that I was wearing when taken out on my other Vespa. Other times will depend on the weather, if it is raining it will be one of my Seiko's if no rain whatever I fancy

 

Rear-sets and clip-ons would make all the difference.

 

Noooooo! I'm a recovering Cafeaholic! Don't do this to me.....

MUST RESIST! Errrr......

 

Can't remember the last time I saw a Jawa. Nice .

 

Where are you at sir? I live in District 2

 

Nice result Pete. The only negatives for me are the "whoops, too narrow" indicators on the ends of your bars .

The little 250 banger is a cracker to ride in the city, I had a red CB250RS for quite a while (pic from the net).

 

Fitted a helmet lock to the bike yesterday. I was surprised that they don't come with one.



The helmet can hang or sit over the bars.

 

Hi Harry,
Live in D7 but work out of D2.
Drop me a note and we can catch up for a beer

 

What style pipes are you getting made?

And is the cowl behind the seat a little glove box?

 

Hi Jim,
The pipes are something similar to the below but I want them parrallel to the ground with no sweep up.

The cowl behind is removable and allows a rear seat to be fixed. Have to fabricate the seat yet so only me for now which does not go down well with the girl

 

Sausage pipes!

Classic!
Can't wait to see how it turns out.

 

and a twostrokeaholic as well...

"cut to the jokes about 50:1"

 

F'ing love that name, definitely going to use!
