Product Description
Mike Seate, an avid motorcyclist who has never owned a car, has studied the cult of the cafe racer for many years from multiple points around the world. As a staff writer for the "Pittsburgh Tribune-Review" in Pennsylvania, USA, he also knows how to tell a story. He has conducted dozens of interviews with riders and builders, many now reliving their youth again, that of an original rocker.The building of cafe racers themselves is at an all time high to the extent that several well-known motorcycle manufacturers are busy launching their own Cafe Racer model thus making it easy for all to join the revivalist 'movement'.

cafe Racing alive and well November 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.
