Loss of income has forced me to sell (Ragnar)

This Cafe Racer was designed and built by myself and a friend that is a semi retired old school BMW mechanic. It started life as a very nice 1978 R100RT. We finished it back in the fall of 2010, but I've only put around 500 miles on it in that time, it's been babied and has spent it's life inside. The bike always turned heads where ever it goes, and it also demands you take notice with the open megaphone exhaust.

Most of the riding I've done on this bike is here in town, I hauled it up to Northern Illinois a few years back and rode to Starved Rock with my brother, took it to the Barber Vintage Festival in Birmingham, AL back in 2011 for the first annual Cafe Racer Show.

Powdercoat Black: FRAME/SUBFRAME/SWINGARM/FRONT WHEEL

Stainless Steel: REAR RIM and SPOKES laced by Buchanan's Spoke & Rim Inc

Ducati 748 front fender/front brembo master cylinder and brake assembly

Early 90's K100RS forks (new seals)/clamps/wheel/brembo brake calipers and custom made mounts...no airhead ever came stock with stopping power like this.

I replaced the Gas Tank last year with a professionally painted very nice original w/redcoat liner inside.

Shocks: new take offs from a Sportster

Has a slim Odyssey Battery w/ custom made top bracket

Mmmmm, Toasted

Mon, 20 Oct 2008

While some fortunate souls who live south of the Mason-Dixon line are able to ride their beloved beasts all year long, some are forced to put their hogs into hibernation by mother nature come winter time. Although most motorcyclists have little use for wintry weather, autumn is a truly beautiful time of year to ride. Granted, the days become shorter and the wind colder, but navigating your way through winding roads amid the vibrant colors of changing leaves is enough of a reward within itself.
