If ya like Cafe Racer motorcycles, I am sure there is at least one of mine that will get your mind rev-ving?

    Updated   DECEMBER  2011                     

  Some people get a buzz out of Race horses, some get a tingle out of Nascar, some even get all wobbly over a dartboard, a pint of Lager and a pork pie.

    Well, what turns my crank is a cool Cafe Racer,  built  from parts and resembles a stripped down factory bike and has more different parts than the Bionic Man.

Have a look through my website and get to know about these Crazy machines I build, and, other people own too, and I am sure you will find something that will make your eyes widen and your throat swell, Or was it the other way around?

I shall be updating over the next few weeks and hopefully these pages will appeal to you crazy people who dig Cafe Racers, especially CB750 HONDA fans.

I make my parts here at home and offer them for a great price and made really well.

I have a NEW workshop and my parts ARE  designed by me, with a lot of thought and product testing, to make sure these things fit.

There are others out there too, and thats nice to see these days, cant be botherd with all the slagging off these days, you know my products and thats why many of you are repeat customers, thanks for standing by me and not think I am a Wanker.

.

I have done this since 1978 I was 16 years old and cafe' my Suzuki AP50 in North London, and now I have grown to quite a well known company, my New workshop let's me do alot more now and am gearing up for a bigger range of parts.

You all know who I am, I stand by my word and MY stuff fits,  The competitors molds are cool but I really do make these as best as possible, MY own Molds are straight and I give 100% into everything I do, and I am sure you will enjoy the parts abd bikes that I create.

This is a Fun and refreshing website and I am sure you will enjoy it..

I too am writting a book, so will need High Quality Photos and your name and what the bike is, be cool to have a real book on the stuff I grew up with and can share with everyone.

So I need more pics, get snapping people.

Especially your bikes, your garages and what you lot get up to at clubs or meets etc.

Also I am starting a small format magazine too, something cool and will have all your rides in it etc, so keep checking on the website, this is for all, does not have to be a Honda, all bikes can be a Cafe Racer, i have had 100's of them from BSA to a Zundapp and all make exciting Cafe Racers.

Thanks for being part of my life, right now I have over 900, yes, 900 emails, so bare with me on the replies as it is JUST me who gets to them, plus build bikes, sell, pack and ship parts and many other things, but thats what I wanted to do.

I  travelled the IMS shows and met many Cafe Racer fans and cannot thank you all enough for coming by to say how cool it was to meet me and to chat about your rides and if I can help etc..

Our Scene is getting very strong now and major comanies are actually taking notice, Harley are now building a limited edition Cafe Racer, there are many in the desiign studio's right now, so check all the magazines, see, we can make a difference from the Norm.

Keep building and have fun ok?

My stuff is going to continue to grow on parts, from Complete built Motors now, Camshafts to have your Motor really hop and 836 kits, to my new 4 into 1 exhaust systems called TON UP PERFORMANCE.

I shall have them powder coated and fit them on my bikes and have a sound byte for you to listen too.

The exhaust system is a great deal and priced well and am sure you will like it, its not like a kerker or Mac etc and is just a new design but looks retro.

I am pricing them cheaper than modern pipes too, but these are the best in the world no kidding, soon as I have moine on the bike I shall add pictures, just bare with me as one pair of hands takes a little time.

I do not Make these, I have an exhaust company make them.

Also maybe some new clothing too and wait for it, HELMETS and GOGGLES, I am hoping to sell all the stuff so you can grab from one spot and be on the road.

The website will be updated regularly so keep checking back, as I shall be adding more photo's of my rides, more parts for sale and also accessories.

Main reason for me selling these accesories is simple, I cant' find them myself.

I hope to be having all sorts of cool Cafe parts available for CB750's. And other Motorcycles.

ie Clubman bars, Cafe seats, Custom Cafe tanks, grips, exhausts and Cafe kits.

Also, I shall be trying out a couple of mpeg video down loads, so you can see and hear my bikes.

And definatly want readers rides, as you can have your Cafe on my site, just email me a cool photo and a small bit of info, name, state and your bikes mods.

Be kinda cool.

So like an old Piano....Stay tuned.

Ok Back again

Things have gone from strength to strength.

I have grown up with these.

I have been riding these over 30 years.

I built my FIRST Cafe many moons ago, Nostalgia Speed & Cycle was Established in 1978.

I had a Suzuki 50cc moped that I used clubman.s beat the tank, made a cool seat, used an expasion chamber, fitted a 100cc carb, and also I skimmed the head, by hand, using a plate of glass and sand papaer.

It will always be in my blood this Cafe Racer fever,

I see many try and have a go, but they miss the mark as they never grew up with it.

But so cool to see others doing it over here, it's fun, cheap and always looks unique.

Others follow,and thats cool, we need more people out there, sure I know some people will think I am a &*nt as I am so into my bikes, but remember, this is my life, my only job, I have a business and a lovely bird i gotta keep happy, so this is truley my one passion.

I have always been around these tsyle of bikes, and I also had many friends of my age that had the same interests, so we would go out and race around the streets and just enjoy what we could to our machines.

I loved dispatch riding and rode for MCP, Pony express and many more companies that still today advertise in Motorcycle News.

Riding in London or Europe is a complete eye opener on a motorcycle and I stripped my bikes down to Cafe's, just to survive the crazy Taxi drivers and occasional Bus that wants to pull out in front of you..

These are how they were in Europe when I was a teenager on the road.

I used to go to the Road Races and met Barry Sheene, Kenny Roberts , Rocket Ron Haslam, Joey Dunlop, Randy Mammola, Johnny Ciccoto etc,  and followed their carreers.

Never having enough courage to talk to them mind, but s a kid, seeing them in real life was such a buzz.

If I could not ride there myslef, I  would hitch hike with my skid lid.

Things are going great and boy is it a right laugh chatting to some of you.

Especially when you call and expect a Californian accent and then hear my real, Limey accent.

I am no fake, I am just me.

if you don't like my stuff, that's cool to, I hope you at least had fun reading what goes on here.

Also I should be touring The land of the Rising Sun, where my SOHC machines were Originally assembled.

I really hope to go to Japan and see all of their Motorcycle factories.

I hope to tour the USA and Canada too, and meet some of you who have be kind enough to email me and inform me you enjoy what I do and inspire you to get back in the shed and turn a wrench.

I may be going to Sturgis this August 2012 too with CHICA Custom Cycles.

I went in 2009 and had a ball and was well received to be honest.

I would love to see Cafe's that you have built, finished or not turn up as thats what it is all about.

I build for customers all over the world and into Japan now, a great thing is going of this and I am sure others will come of it.

Thanks for taking some time to check my website out, it is bigger than a ROAD MAP and easier to read.

I try and make it all scrollable.

But other features later, so watch out world, this is gonna be Crazy.

I built a Cool Cafe Racer for Mike Dirnt of GREENDAY and Boy do they dig Cafe Racers and all Motorcycle Nutters like me.

Alot of cool bands have approached me asking for parts or complete builds and all have been super cool to me.

I guess people take me as I am and thats an Honest bloke that simply enjoys what he creates.

I am a True Cafe fan.

I have always been true, you get alot of hard work, and alot of history with my rides.

I have now been featured in Cycle world, Cafe Racer,  Moto Plus, Motoradd, Back Street Heroes , Motorcycle Classic's, All Metric Roadbike, Back Street heroes, Bike Magazine, Riders review., Cycle city, Lightning (Japan) MOTOR CYCLE NEWS and I have 3 More magazine with features of me in it.

I am totally stoked that people come to see me and I must be doing something right.

Plus I have a magazine in Bulgaria coming over and I have a Japanese magazine coming over tomorrow.

I was stoked to make the cover shot on my Black K5 Cafe.

That Vincent styled Cafe Racer is now in Canada and Bear of Old bike Barn has it in his Office, great guy too.

I also have some TV stuff soon, I have been in the pipeline with a few companies but time restraints have held me back for a while.

All in all, life is good, I help where I can and I am sure most of you know what I do?

If ya don't,- enjoy the experience of my website.

I have been invited to take my CAFE to JAPAN where I shall cruise all the Cafe shops and show what iIhave been doing for many years.

Share my time on this website.

I could add loads of comments that people have sent, but it would fill the website.

You make your own mind up.

Stay tuned for all sorts of parts soon.

Oil tanks, Gas tanks, air scoops, disc conversions. And some tricks never seen before.

Stick with someone who knows what he is on about.

I am a working class bloke, I didn't have the money to go to college and have someone teach me, I had to learn it all myself.

This Brit who lives in California loves it here and has made many friends all over the globe.

Feel free to email me and ask questions etc.

I am the real McCoy, I will help and always answer emails.

You are all in a big family if you are into Cafe Racers.

Thanks for reading my bio, I shall add more when I have time.

Peace and Grease to you all.

CARPY

Should you want to see other stuff, but this website is pretty big and am sure you will at least like something.

Thanks for taking an interest, go on, build your Cafe, be it a 125 or a 1000cc bike, be it Honda, Suzuki, Bsa,Garrelli, etc etc, it's all about having fun and self expressionism.

I really appreciate you reading this bio and hope I have at least inspired you to get in the shed and start hammering away at your future project.

 REMEMBER, the only thing holding you back is your vision and, maybe your old lady ?

Actually, I Now have them and they work bloody well too.

Also, I have the BBC coming from the UK to film me and was just contacted by SPEED tv, so maybe we shall get some good tv stuff, I have been on a few shows and also I hope to do some stuff when I go to Japan too.

I love doing what i do and boy have I made some cool friends all over the globe.

Also, I do try and help on the ear trumpet too, as many people get stuck and I am always willing to try and at least listen to customers and see if there is a way that I can resolve some of their issues.

This is a great and entertaining industry, many have all emailed me saying how refreshing this is and all I can do is THANK you lot for helping me get ahead in life and show the globe what the Good Old Cafe Racer is all about.

OK, I am now MOVING once more, this time to double the size of a workshop not too far up the road, I need more space to build bikes and make parts, and I thank all of you for your support, it has become such a great job for me and I hope to meet some of you at some point in time.
