Ironic that a man who apparently lives in the middle of nowhere has built a cafe racer...

It's a 60-horse Ford flathead (in the video, he says it came out of a Simca Vedette), so probably not too unwieldy.

That is up there with the Corvair Harley. Badass.

I mean, sure - The Corvair Harley could be replicated with the Honda, but both of these are greats.
