So you are looking for a Classic Café Racer bike with a history and it is still fun to ride? Well here you are! The Bike is street Licensed and titled in Florida. Riding this bike you will be the king of just about any bike night or event. The Bike was built as a project by noted bike builder Rev. Jim in Seminole Florida. The “Orange Bike”, as people call it, is a TV star. It was on 4 episodes of Café Racer TV filmed in 2012. The “Orange Bike” is race bike. It was raced at Valdosta Drags by 11 times World Champion Ricky Gadson and worked on by “Spiderman” Larry McBride, world record holder.

The great writer Peter Egan once said that “We are mere custodians of mechanical things. Our job it to care for them, improve them and pass them on to others.” This bike needs a new home. The owner, me, is not mechanical in any way shape or form and this bike needs a mechanical owner who will love her, ride her and enjoy the bike. That is what she needs and I, as her custodian, need to find her a new loving home. So if you are looking for a race bike, show bike or fun street bike in Classic Café Racer style here you go.
