Café Racer Obsession - The video

Few days ago I got a message from Café Racer Obsession about their new video. Very nice video guys!!!

Located in Madrid, Spain, CRO modify standard motorcycles in Café Racers of course, but also Street Trackers and Bobbers…

In addition to their builder activity, every Thursday they organize in different bars of the Spanish capital a CRO meeting with a vintage motorcycle atmosphere, rock ’n’ roll, bike show, racing videos…

CRD#34

What a lovely W650. It is not done yet but it is already nice. Great job CRD.

Valtorón from Madrid Spain

I just heard about the amazing Valtorón.
Valtorón has been created by the Delgado brothers.
They are artists that sculpt motorcycles.
From the modelling in clay to the foundry and finishing they make all the parts by themselves and by hand.

The aluminium they use for the foundry comes from recycling 100%, for example from beer and pop cans.
I love this idea. Imagine making a gas tank with all the cans you and your friends drank at last night party… What a good memory!!!

Seriously you should visit their website http://www.valtoron.com and their blog http://transformacionesvaltoron.wordpress.com for more details and watch this nice video about one of their last project.

CRD#21, ¨The Stroke¨

This new bike from Cafe Racer Dreams doesn't look like a 2008 XL 1200 Nighster anymore.

When I look at this bike I just want to grab the handlebar and ride it as a Supermotard on a mountain road with hundreds of curves... ^_^

I want one...

I had a pretty similar idea for my W650 tank paint and I modified a picture on Photoshop, but now I'll have to find something else if I don't wanna feel like copying them.

Pictures are from CRD website. Photographer: César Serrano from Love for Iron.
Photos Effects: Alex Ramón Mas from GasCap Kustom.

CRD #19 ‘Apolo’

It is really difficult to see at the first look which base has been used to build this amazing bike… A Honda XR600

I love it...

Ni olvido ni perdón

Neither forget nor forgive

Cafe racer Dreams - De Madrid al cielo -

I love Madrid. I had so much fun and crazy parties in the Spanish capital. I think the sentence I used the most in Madrid was "Ponme dos cubatas, por favor". El Cubata (short form for Cubalibre) is a long drink made with dark rum and coke.

Ok, but that’s not the topic here. Sorry, I got sidetracked… ^_^

The purpose here was to talk about another great builder from Madrid (Spain) Cafe Racer Dreams. In my opinion their bikes are some kind of urban tracker racer inspired by the work done in Japan by Heiwa, Brat Style, Gravel Crew and some others but on bikes with bigger engines.

They seem to follow one philosophy: less is more. I love that.

RAD will make you love Ducati

Radical Ducati shop in Madrid, Spain is already quite famous in the Ducati fans world.
I just wanted to add some pictures of their great works, because I am not crazy about Ducati but the racers made by this Madrileño team make me definitely love them.

Simplemente alucinantes.
