Ultimate Café Trashster
« on: May 04, 2012, 01:11:09 AM »
I was walking thru Albuquerque on my the morning I picked up the R75/5, when I stumbled on this. You can see a wire dangling over the left side of the rear wheel. It has a busted taillight hanging from the end of it. Total ghetto steez.

My friends want to buy cafe racers. Gotta convince them to get something not sketchy.

I rode one of my friends cafe racers: Deathtrap. It was one of the Yamaha 750 triples. With a seat that makes the stock K75 seat seem like a barcalounger. The retard that he bought it from had cut off the rear subframe.

He crashed it when the throttle lock got stuck at a stoplight. Lol.

Café tip - make sure the bars are at least as high as the seat! The bars on my R75/5 are at least six inches higher, and they still look kewl - and... I can ride all day without feeling like I've slipped a disk in my back.

Check out Cycle-ergo.com. My r75 has the euro bars on it. I think yours does too. Phenomenally comfortable. If they are the right height, for the right angle, the wind lifts your torso up, removing pressure from your wrists.
