By one of today's better writers/riders
27. November 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Mike Seate has a leg up writing wise, he lives in Pennsylvania. Not that I think being from PA means you're a better writer, it just means you have to face certain slings and arrows that the boys in Newport Beach don't understand. In fact until recently Mike didn't even have a driver license. That speak volumes to the men and women in the other 47 states that experience what is known as "weather". It might seem trivial but as a harsh critic of motorcycle writing I have discovered it really is the key. This book chronicles three aspects of the Cafe Racer. First is Mike's personal experience "evolving" from a loud, low and slow biker to a fast, gritty ton up boy. He also covers both the history of the genre and where it is today. Many books have been written, both about the bikes and the "boys" of this era, some might be better but the photos and history here coupled with Mike's fine writing make it worthwhile addition to the veteran's shelf and a fine introduction for the beginner. Mike has a less strident attitude than some and is willing to see the gleam of the cafe racer spirit in bikes other than Wideline, pre unit drum only, leather-tank-strap models. While I think some of the "new breed" of ton up boys are a bit too cool for school, even us grumpy old men can appreciate the skill and hard work that goes into some of the new Cafe Racers even in this day of point and click purchases and CnC machining.

cafe Racing alive and well
6. November 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Mike Seate's book is a fantastic accounting of the current condition in cafe racer circles. It is alive and well; albeit well represented by overweight enthusiasts who can now afford to indulge in the machines they dreamt of as teenagers. Mike also chronicles the history of the Rocker scene in London; the foundation for rider groups of the light, fast British motorcycles of the 50s and 60s. Many contemporary cafe style bikes are shown in quality photographs, and clubs, like the Brit Iron Rebels are featured within the pages. This book will be an eye-opener for the new rider who has a narrow "American V Twin-only" experience in motorcycling.

Cafe Racer: The Motorcycle
31. Januar 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The book was well written. I happen to like Mike's writing style so therefore enjoyed this book. Great period photos and good ideas for modern Cafes. Clearly a good text for someone who wishes to learn about these great machines and the people that have an affinity for them.
