really digging the stuff i’m finding in spain. one of the best shops is cream motorcycles. i know. the name makes me think of prince, too. they are also known as cafe racer dreams/crd.
i first discovered them in august with their tasty cb900 cafe machine and since we’ve traded emails, screwed around on facebook, twittered the **** twerp and what-have-you. stupid internet. we can possess world domination without you.
until then, give me your money. yes, that was my impersonation of an egyptian cop.
the guys at cream just built a killer 1979 honda cb750kz tracker. pedro sent me a ton of killer print-quality photos and info in english so my dumbass american one-language education could understand.
his new bike looks like this:
i’m not a fan of green, but color does not matter when you have just found your post-apocalyptic kill-em-all motorbike. strap a holster for a shotgun to it and ka-blammo™! f**k you mad max. you f***ing cop.
