"When it was finished I entered my CX in the Laverda Concours and won both peoples and judges choice awards. The first time in the history of this event it has happened. Before I started this build I read somewhere that you make a cafe racer to suit yourself not anyone else, but it’s nice to know that others appreciate what I’ve done.”

Lusted after this bike most of my life

More of an impossible dream now that I'm semi retired and basically one meal away from deciding between dog or cat food for supper. I think, but unresearched, that cat
food is better, but such small portions. So 6 of one half dozen of the other.

Still, it's a beautiful m/c so might be worth it IMO

How does that bike not fall over in the sand? :confused: Hidden piece of wood under the centerstand?

If you're dreaming, this is what you want. I sat on it once. Gilera. 1955 500cc DOHC.

Great looking bikes. I always loved the Guzzi v11 Le mans too.

Well not really a cafe,
 

But who wouldn't want a real Black Bomber 450. One of the best ever offered to the public
