Gixxus Christ!

Rubber city vintage cycles may have one, call them.

Wow, it's gonna be bigger than last year, especially if people all show at once vs trickling in throughout the day. My garage is still OCD nightmare fuel. It's bad, plus there's a quad motor in pieces on my bench along with lots of other pieces parts. @isaac's Papa can you bring some fork tools and whatever else you might think would be useful? I have a vacuum bleeder if anyone wants brake or clutch service. Or we could just get tight and rub our units on Isabella, whatevs.

I also need some head.

My garage is still a disaster and I need to finish a customers bike and get it out this week....ugh pressure.

Could someone bring me some ordn stickers?

Which knuckle is that?

Hookers and blow.

Ok.... Yeah, if I could get a solid head count, that would be great, thanks. Need to know how much food to go buy...and beer...and straight jackets....

The more the merrier.

Do I detect a burgeoning bromance? I'm getting a broner...

Pretty sure his issue is with people coming and wasting his time and money getting the estimate, then not wanting to shell out the money for quality work. I'm sure his $1000 estimate is to make the bike road worthy. That means fluids, brake linings, fork oil, tires, carb clean and sync and replacing whatever stock parts the previous owner deemed unnecessary. As a bike mechanic I can tell you that shit adds up quick and these hipsters generally don't understand the labor that goes into bringing an old bike back to a serviceable condition.

Probably the same assholes who put their 80's sport bike with dirty carbs, leaking forks and no 2nd gear on Craigslist for $1500.

Back in the day they built real cafe bikes. They made them lighter and faster. Form followed function. It was a true sport with talented guys making and racing very functional bikes. Not true of most hipster cafe guys now. It's about achieving a look. Zero thought is given to performance or handling. It's all cone filters, header tape, flat seats, cheap shocks, tall Firestone tires and a set of clubman bars or clip ons. No meaningful power mods to the motor, no upgraded braking or suspension, zero weight reduction, steering damper etc.... It's a poser buying the absolute cheapest bolt on parts to make his bike look custom vintage. Choppers on the other hand, whether done well or not, are gay. Stupid as fuck, don't care what people think, they look like shit.

Ftfy

Lol, video is pretty spot on.

^^^bobs for ballsacks in the hot tub at the Y

My issue is kids with zero knowledge or experience buying a $700 heap off Craigslist and then putting a bunch of shitty eBay bolt on parts on it and sharing the road with me on a bike that is likely unsafe. I've tried to tell these guys that those $80 shocks may look neat but they're sprung for a 150cc moped and have maybe 2 inches of useabke stroke. Their reply is 'I don't care, it's about how the bike looks'. Hope they at least buy decent gear.

^^^boycotted said parties until they got gay enough for him.

^^Masturbates to Kennedy assassination footage.

So much fail..... Can't even.

Check float bowls to make sure gas is filling them. If it is, your issue is the carbs themselves, namely the jets and passages.

Sharp looking road sofa!

Jesus, maybe I should rent a karaoke machine.

I'm pretty sure that he's had more offers on his bike in the last 12 hours than he's had in the past 12 weeks, and none of them will pan out. I thank everyone who took their time to waste this assholes time like he wasted mine. Y'all are the real MVP. Extra beer and gay sex to those who make it to my meat and greet in 2 weeks. Bonus points for bringing this dude's bike.

Yes we get it. You want attention. That qualifies you as a cafe racer.... Fucking hipsters....
