Hi Max

I am very interested in your project I am looking for a suitable bike myself.

How much did you pay for your R100CS?

I have looked at a couple of R100's for 15 and 17k which is to much seeing that I will be chopping most of the bike away.

Still dont no which direction to go...Cafe Racer or Bobber??

Pls keep me posted with your progress...would love to visit your garage!

Hi Max, what is the latest on

Hi Max, what is the latest on your cafe racer build? I've looked at the pics on your site, but haven't seen a final version yet.

I'm very interested to see the end result as I'm about to start with a similar project on my old 78 R100RS.

Double trouble

Looks like there are two Andre' Nel's on this forum. Would the previous poster please update his profile with a picture so we can all know who is posting. Thanks

Can it be legal to have so much fun?
