CARPY'S BIKE'S

    Welcome to my page of Cafe's that I have built.

The thumbnails are there for you to click on and the whole build up will be laid out on some of these.

Some of the build up photo's are a handy thing, in case you have a problem and the Haynes  or Clymer Manual does not show a photo of a part you need to look at.

I have explained alot of the build up on these pages for you too see what work I personally put into these thorobreds.

I hope they are of some help, but also I hope you get a kick out of the finished product.

Most of the CB750's I pick up are as rough as Grandma's legs, so have fun and I am sure you will find some of the info helpful and the photo's a good resource for info, failing that, the story aint bad either.

I have always dug old stuff, here is my 1932 Three Window coupe, back in the UK in 1991.

I was always into Rock N Roll and the lifestyle.

So always into old stuff but mainly bikes, I shall be building many styles and you will see this grow as I produce more and more.

I will add bikes I build as I go along, so always keep checking, as well as the other pages like readers Cafe's etc.

I have been into these Motorcycles for so many years now, growing up in this era back in the United kingdom, had a lasting impression.

I have now won some respected Motorcycle competiton's, and now in my 20th major Motorcycle magazine, and having my ugly mug on the cover of Motorcycle Classics was such achievment, and in the British magazines BSH and BIKE magazine, well, this has really come full circle, to when I was 15 and reading that magazine, seeing all the newly built Cafe Racers on the streets.

Many people are now doing what I am, that's so cool I have inspired people.

My DAD was a Pioneer of Cafe Racers, back in 1959 and ran to the ACE and not so known Busy Bee and Halfway house in North London.

I was Born in London and from early ages My brother (Mick) and I loved Motorcycles, all through the years we had little shit boxes, that the old man made sure we built and it still kept up with expensive Modern bikes of that era in the 1970's.

My brother went onto Moto-Cross, whilst even though I still dabble in that, I was always involved with Cafe Racers and Road Racing bikes.

I used to hitch hike 40 miles to watch a Clubman or GP race, telling me old MUM that I was just going to my mates house to study.

Some Crash helmets I had, didnt even have padding, just a rolled up Bury Free press newspaper and taped inside.

But the Motorcycle industry facinated me and still does today.

I really enjoy what I do, there are many builders out there, and loads that knock me into a cocked hat, I love all bikes and the way people turn them into what they like.

.If I have inspired you to get off your arse, and get in the garage and turn a Spanner and graize a knuckle or two, then I have succesfully done what I hoped to and that is simply, inspire you to take some interest in the good old two wheeled Motorcycle and make it fun again.

You all know what I do and I help everyone, be it Honda or any other Cafe Racer.

It is like a Family to me and I know what the feeling is like, the first time you fire your creation up and take it for a blast.

I put heart and soul into each bike and I am glad you all enjoy the site.

I have inspired many, by all the emails I receive and hope you all catch the fever like I have.

Thanks for sticking by me all these years and Welcome to new Cafe riders.

Thanks for looking.

One last thing, as of typing.

        ( JANUARY 2010 )         LAST UPDATED !!!!!!!!

I AM going to have a Big CAFE RACER weekend at some point -   I am hoping to have Cafe's from all over the USA and maybe Canada.

I will try and get some infamous people too, as that will add to the event, there should be major coverage from Magazines to Television if I can swing it.

Bands playing, vendors etc and maybe some cool pin up Birds, to have pics of her sprawled on ya ride for a couple of shillings.

I have not got the venue just yet, as I am looking into places with a friend of mine, it will be in California and it will be a right laugh, with camping too.

So, get out there, build the Cafe and save up for next year in the summer in California and meet up with like minded Cafe Racer Nutters.

It will be a real hoot for sure.

Stay Tuned............................

Peace and Grease.
