Kaffemaschine ha completato la sua settima fatica con questa Guzzi che ricalca in pieno le sue belle precedenti sorelle , e visto che parlando di moto belle anche io come molti colleghi vi propongo le immagini di questa cafe racer che mi ha inviato via mail Alex
Dear editor,
finally the "Caffettiera d´oro" ("golden coffee machine", but caffettiera can be a nickname for an old/wasted vehicle, too- I liked the double sense) is finished- or let´s say photographed, as she was done actually some time ago. The donor bike was a Le Mans 3, which already had Le Mans 4 heads and bigger carbs, so it was a good basis to give it the full show with 1040ccm cylinders and powerful HTMoto tuning with dynamically balanced crank drive, special cam, twin spark heads, electronic ignition and bespoke exhaust system. The rest of the technique was overhauled and I gave it my minimal wire loom. The brakes were revised and modified with modern brake pumps and stainless steel hoses. The fork got progressive springs, modern dampers and new bleeders. Rear shocks are special Ikons, built for Kaffeemaschine. Instrument is Motogadget, wheels are Morad. All alloy parts were handmade, as usual. A lot of work got into the tank, showing my new design, as I wanted to design a classic, elegant tank, putting emphasis on the Guzzi´s unique geometry and shape. Tank and seat are available upon request. Please label the article "Kaffeemaschine, Guzzi Cafe Racer No. 7" (or something like that…).
If you want to post it on Facebook- I joined the intimate circle as well with "Kaffeemaschine"- maybe you can link that. I´ll be joining the "Custombike 2012" here in Germany this weekend. Maschine 7 will be displayed, as well as my race bike at the booth of the "Ace Cafe", I´ll be guest at their stage show. If anybody is interested, I´ll be around for a coffee... Thanks again and best regards from Hamburg, Axel
