Flat Top Frames With Style For Miles

It's quite enjoyable to see so many bike styles ebb and flow in and out of popularity. The arguments over what is cool and what is the best motor are just par for course. At the end of the day what we care most about is ridability. We couldn't give a rat's ass on whether or not something is period correct or having just the right underground builder signature part and being able to talk on it in the right circles. That is just damn boring, pointless and the shitty effect of the hipsters, that invaded motorcycle culture.


We are all over the maps with the bikes we enjoy riding whether it be dirt bikes, to our long mile marathoner in our Dyna or a race bike, two wheels up is our driving force. A particular bike design that has been really catching on though, is the flat top frame style of the Cafe Racer movement. The frame geometry is helping to morph a style of design and ergonomic riding position that is aimed directly at the rider and experiencing the road. It could be for the highway or the back country twists and turns, but no doubt about it, these bikes are meant to be ridden and yet highly customized.

Help a homie out...

A couple days ago I got a call from my homie Krazy Kyle in regards to a friend of ours having a pretty nasty wreck on his bike. Honkey rides a sick as rigid evo chop that a few of us in this area lust after every time he takes her out. Ah shit sorry off track. Well honkey was Rollin down the street and a car pulled out in front of him and well as the story goes shit got nasty. Long story short he is bout 9 surgeries deep with rumors of more to come. So his friends and familia are tryin to put together a little run in hopes of scoring a little scratch or least to boost some hopes and dreams of a speedy recovery. Kyle asked me to spread some word.hope to see some folks out.
