Hello everybody!

I've been around for almost 4 years now, had to leave my beloved Ducati back in Spain, mainly because the headache of bringing it in, the risks involved in doing that, the ten years and to scrap policy, and..... My wife's policy about riding big bikes in a city like Beijing, hehehe.

So I've been "riding" on a e-scooter for over 3 years now, which made me crave, even more ever since, to have a real bike. Don't get me wrong, these e-bikes can be great commuters for short to medium distances, but to me also have great downsides, such as been unable to predict how much battery is left when you don't do the exact same distances, and/or directions. Plus I' grown tired of trying to find a way to charge the batteries in every different location I've been living at, because mines are impossible to take home with me. Well, more importantly, they are just not a real motorcycle!

Now I have in mind a little project to use my spare time on... A tiny cafe racer, something in between 125 to 250 cc. I am looking at the moment to many little Chinese and Japanese bikes as starters, but want to make every change as reversible as possible, because I want it to be legal and pass the examinations without issues, so I will keep all the original parts and produce/buy the ones that I will use for the cafe look... If I cut the chassis, then I will make some inserts into the cut away piece to screw it back into place when needed, etc...

I had been reading the forum for a long time now and found it super helpful, I thought that now, late, I know, it is just the right time to sign in and contribute a bit, (stop beeping a leecher, heehehehe) and get to know you guys better... Who knows, maybe a little ride with some of you when I get my cafe in order!

Thanks!
