My girlfriend f*$#@ng rules!!!

YEah cafes and bobbers are cool Found out my girlfriend got me a kick ass jacket that was her dads its awesome its a blue shop coat style with the NHRA logo silkscreened on it(the old roadster in the center logo)and it has Ahra and Nhra event patches down the sleeves the newest one dated 1966.So it fits my coupe's era great.Also she got me a moon t-shirt.I love her and next week she learns how to weld.Yep got me a good one.

 

VERY nice score on the jacket. I've been tossing around the idea of the garage jacket myself.

Used to have one that fit me perfectly... now I can't find it for my life.

 

Nice knob MPLS. Here's what I got:

 

hey, me too! 'cept mine's black.

never mind the haters mpls|cafe|racer, bring that bad trump on over to the jockey for the respect it deserves!!!! sheesh, car guys...

 

Man, you guy's have some cool ladies. Mine is too...among other things TBD on the 25th, she's getting me MFS 4. I found out when she almost went through the roof when she heard the soundtrack from the website and saw me clicking "buy it now."

I should note that the triton in the pic is NOT mine... it's just what I consider to be a very good example of a nice cafe racer!

I like Triumphs, but I don't like their oil leaks, so I split the difference.

My cafe is a 77 KZ650 Kawi. 784cc drag pistons at 12.5:1, custom framework, custom 17" wheels (spoked still), and a hand made polished aluminum tank and seat built by John Williams (which should be ready shortly).

Basically, with the motor I'm running it's a small chassis'd cafe bike with likely over 100rwhp and I-4 performance.

(I know, people will likely knock me for using a japanese bike, but hey, they took British style and perfected the mechanics to be more performance and reliability friendly!)

 

Man, that is a sweet shift knob. All I got for Christmas from my wife is a new two stage compressor:


And a new (to me) daily driver to replace my $300 truck that I wrecked:

 

Seriously though, that is a very cool knob.

I need to post some pics of my neighbors projects. He's doing a Fiat Toplino (sp?) with a rear mounted radiator and suicide doors. It started out as a fiberglass gasser or FED body.

I've got two to get thru before I can take on something else. I'd like to build a two seater soap box derby looking ride that sits up on some T or A wheels with the body made from aluminum that's rivited together and left natural. It'd sit up high, so there would be steps hanging off the frame to step over and in as there would be no doors and the engine would be mounted in the rear. I just need to figure out the 90 degree turn down to the rear (I'm sure a search here would yeild the result).

 

I had a real deal Triton I bought at an estate sale while I was living in Oregon. it was a lil cobby, but it was a runner for sure. I road the shit out of it for a year and traded it for a Shovelhead.

out of all the bikes I have had past & present I dig that Triton the best...

 

nice knob...thanks for the info on where to get me one...my girlfriend decides she wants to sell a convenience/grocery store she owned, behind the counter for 16 yrs. and never got robbed, time to cash in yer chips and go HOME! she decides she wants to treat herself to a nice 53 Studebaker and a 69 Eldorado (with my help)...she just never says no, maybe thats a problem..Hmmmm
