As I haven't seen this mentioned on the forum, I guess we all missed it.

This made me think... How can you ask a man to change his playlist on his shows if he doesn't even change his clothes? :lol :lol

Nice photos.  Thanks for sharing.  Just one quick question, why they call themselves Cafe Racer?  Who was first?

Very briefly. I understand "cafe racer" was a term coined in the late 50s or early 60s to describe a standard production motor bike that had been modified to resemble a professional racing bike. It also described the riders of these modified bikes, who would race each other often from one cafe to the next. Check out caferacertv.com for more background
