Updated JUNE 2008                            

                                    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.

Me?

    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 ALL my parts and not like some pricks out there that are only in this for the loot, I live and breathe this stuff.

I have a NEW workshop and my parts ARE made in house.

There's a South based company that tells you they think they are the real deal, but non of them ride Cafe Racers and they are just jumping on the band wagon.

You can keep your modern stuff as I aint into it, but Cafe Racers are what I know and My old Man was a pioneer at it.

I have done this since 1978, and now I have grown to quite a well known company, my New workshop let's me doo 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, most is all twisted, MY own Molds are straight and I give 100% into everything I do, so stick with a REAL person and not some stuck up jerk with a Porshe.

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

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,  just watch ebay and a few others that not only follow my design, but website too.

( I will take that as flattery)

I GREW up with these and know the History, a dispatch rider in LONDON for over 20 years and all Cafe bikes.

Bet you a pound of flesh that they have no way as much History as me, I pour my heart and sould and past years experience into these.

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

I used to Road Race and met Barry Sheene, Kenny Roberts , Rocket Ron Haslam etc,  and followed their carreers.

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.

I am going to be doing a huge show soon so stay tuned regularly and I will reveal all, Tv coverage, magazines, European bikes and a few stars to boot.

The show will be a little while as yet but hopefully in the future and shall advertise on here and in theMedia. a Plus hope to have a few famous faces, artists, bands, vendors and of course CAFE RACERS from all over the USA and further, maybe Japan.

So get building for next year as this will be a hoot.

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

I hope to tour the USA and Canada too, and meet sdme 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 2008 too with CHICA Custom Cycles.

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 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, not some college wanna be who tries to impersonate.

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, and I have 3 More magazine with features of me in it.

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

Check out MOTOR CYCLE CLASSICS on the JULY Cover, you will see write up and if you like Cafe's, you will love what they explain.

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.

Cafe Racer was inventing in the UK, my old man was a Pioneer and it is just in my blood, I eat and breathe this stuff.

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.

I will tell you how to do it if you have not the funds and am now looking into PRESSED gas tanks as a One piece deal.

Check out my Vincent styled Dunstall Gas tank, all my own stuff.

That will be a great accessory to have for all.

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 have heard other website just snub you, or think they are better than anyone.

Well not me, they are all WANKERS.

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

I Receive about 140 a day and 60 calls a day on the ear trumpet.

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

I also have a page on my space.

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 ?

*************************************************************

Thanks to all that have come and spoke to me at numerous shows and events, and, I intend to continue this and take more parts further, so check back on the website regularly.

I now produce the Dunstall style Gas tank with NEW Aircraft material that gasolene will not hurt, and more developments on their way.

Thanks so much for being part of my life and, I hope a little bit of me has become part of yours.
