Judging from the number plate and the in-vehicle unit on the handle bar, my guess is that you live in Singapore.

Cafe Racer by Roland Sands: ex-racer cum custom bike designer.  This one is based on a 2-stroke CR500. I don't think these can be called Cafe Racers, but here are some of his other creations: "No Regrets" which won him the 2006 Discovery Channel Biker Build-Off. "KRV5 Tracker" with a Team...

I am a South African now living in Australia. I recently bought myself a postie to run to the shops and to play with. They are cheap, fun and virtually indestructable. I saw one that a Japanese rider took on a 28,000 km trip all around Australia. It has now done 80,000 km, looks fine, rides well...
