Project "Affogato"
basically i have bought a 1985 GSX250, with the intention of building a cool little "cafe" inspired bike for my better half as a surprise birthday present.
i'll throw some photos up very soon. and go from there with the progress.

at the moment it's like a gloss black with gold rims. it's going to be a lot different, but will have to trawl through some photos. *runs to the cafe racer thread*

Black with gold? Hmmm, JPS colours 
Can't wait to see what you do with it, the old suzi twins really lend themselves to cafe style. |

She would do it now, but he's so much scarier as a skinhead.....
I love the whole on-the-sly concept of this project....
