Thank goodness it wasn't a wooden velodrome in Detroit or it would be aflame!

I love motorcycles, (especially) café racers, and I love the concept of reclaiming the velodrome but there is something about these guys that makes me want to kick sand on them. Maybe their cheap, oversized, ironic, hipster glasses will keep it out of their eyes. Come on guys... You can be TOO affected.

Yeah I love the cafe racer style too. Have you seen those "new" Nortons?

I bet those hipsters have some fixies at home.

Somehow riding a Cafe racer on a shallow-banked oval track like Dorais looks, well, really boring.

Pretty cool Nortons although I'd probably ride a Triumph Thruxton first.
I'm sure they have some fixies at home, and probably zero lung capacity to ride them.
