Cafe love

Decided to take a break from the bobber while waiting for some parts to arrive and show the cafe a little bit of love.  Its a Honda CB550 that looks and runs like shit, but I love it.  Put a new tank on from a CB750, new clubman bars, and rebuilt the carbs which made a world of difference.  The ride went from feeling like a couple cans of reconstituted horse meat rolling down the street held together with dental floss and cinder blocks, to actually feeling more like a tricycle found at the bottom of a pool at an abandoned mental hospital. At least the latter was actually meant to be ridden....

Planned Parenthood

Decided to utilize the chalkboard wall to write out the plan of attack for the "Daddy Magnet" as William has aptly named it.  I think he is trying to be offensive and suggest something about my sexual orientation if I were to indeed finish and ride this bobber.  He thinks that I'm building it to attract other males, hence "Daddy Magnet."  This is not true, and just plain rude.
