Makes my heart feel good.

I rode a RICKMAN – HONDA 750 FII, back in the late seventies. It was riding like on rails.

RE Nicker:
“good memories of simpel machinery and a simpeler life…”

Yeah…….hmmmmmm, where are those years.
As you say Nicker, it’s a good thing to see that people are still into this kind of motorcycles.

I Thought we became kind of ‘last of the mohicans in bikerworld’, but there is still hope.

I love it ! ! ! !

I just read your blog about the cafe racer book and video by Mike Seate. As you know all I build are Cafe Racer style bikes, and have for 30 years. I am one of the founding members of the Midwest Cafe Racers Association in 1974. Can you give me any contact info on Mr. Seate? Is he the same Mike Seate that writes for Iron Works Magazine?
By the way the photo is of “Carpy” Carpenter in Cal. on one of his CB750 Hondas.
Thanks
Ken Glenn

Another Rocker DVD…….. WOW!
If it’s half as good as Scott & Zack’s “Brittown” DVD, it’ll be awesome.
Got mine last week. Loved it!

The Rocker scene is the history of contemporary modified motorcycles.
Hell, before that most OEM motorcycles were just about limited production, hand built units,
which often had to be modified by their owners just to be serviceable.
The Rocker scene was abut modification for modification’s sake.

Nostalgia recognizing period machinery.
Some sadness remembering friends who’ve passed away.
Overall, lots-a good memories of simple machinery and a simpler time.
The cool part is that people are still into that stuff……….

Brittown is a look into biker history without the Hollywood BS.
Great fun for a true enthusiast.
Hope Cafe Racer is the same.
