Cafe Trumpet: Its the smallest battery EVER!

Cafe Trumpet Mission

Cafe Trumpet is my documented journey to redemption. This motorcycle started it's life (under my reign that is not the factory birth from across the pond) as a chopper that embodied "Two Wheeled Death Machine" and while I am a proponent of Two Wheeled Death Machines everywhere.. this one was truly unsafe, with critical welds covering up rotting steel to tweaked axle plates all the way to a seized front end missing one of the springs to a ticking time bomb waiting in the crank case. This is the 'final' stage to redemption after 4 years all that remains is the engine (minus the cylinders and pistons and a handful of other internal components) and the grips .. which will be changed once she is torn back apart for paint.

This motorcycle in 4 years has been:

- set on fire

- seized a rod bearing

- seized a valve

- soft seized a piston

- lost mufflers on the highway

- gone through 2 chassis

- been wired 5 times

- list goes on...

Hence.. the Tragic Trepidation that is..
