Believe it or not this was in our hometown Grants Pass, Oregon a few years back. It certainly drew a crowd and people slowed to take a look. After you get past the awkwardness of having to ride in this piece of art, you must look at the detail.

Does it still sound like a good idea? You may not want to build a motorcycle like the one pictured but maybe a cool retro would be more your style. The café racers are a sweet ride and the look is pretty trendy right now.
When you do finish your build don’t forget to get a Throttle Rocker to help with cruising on those back roads. The Throttle Rocker will really help with wrist fatigue and pain from holding the throttle on your ride.
