COBBA CAFE RACER

Post by cobbadiggabuddyblooo » Mon Aug 15, 2011 1:40 pm

Who posted a thread recently about when is a TRX no longer a TRX,,,,

Image

After pulling into the pits located right behind the Scarborough pub after racing up Mt Tamborine today, I'm thinkin I can do a faster time up the mountain

Image

Here's my starting point ...MMMM I'm thinkin time for a COBBA CAFE to get me up the mountain faster

Image

MMMMM Deep in thought and BAMM it hits me...I gotta shed some weight of the bike to get me up the mountain faster

Image

A few cups from starbucks while in the shed and ditch the fairing,cut away that unwanted chunk of framework, who needs all the bolt on extras,get rid of anything I can work around and the COBBA CAFE is ready to race up Mt Tamborine minus kilo's of unnessesary weight

Image


Now hang on..Brainwave..why not shed some weight also.. I don't need leathers,boots or helmet.. safety thongs and a pair of aviator sunnies.. Fonzy used them and he looked pretty cool(and picked up all the chicks too) He also rode a parallell twin I might add..

Image

COBBA CAFE RACER...

Image





cooked a set of tyres goin up the mountain so lucky I took some spares.. what time I gained in weight loss i lost in bad choice of tyre compound.. lesson to be learnt there

Were there any foreign tourists around at the time? They'd have a story to tell...
Ride Well!

They look like some mighty fine and powerfull front calipers you have there, and I am also liking the super streamline front fairing :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:
not to sure about the exhaust though perhaps a bit too prominent

Also just noticed your lack of rear lights, you better watch out you dont get rear ended at night!!! :shock: :lol:

Hey Cobber, from memory there are a few wineries up at Mt Tamborine, did you go to them all prior to cafe pics? =D>

T told Janet not to pick those mushrooms to the left on one of the pics and put them on my sandwich. After I finished those photos I thought I was up there with the hanglider who was lookin down on us and that was a parachute on my back.
And yes I can imagine what the japanese tourists where thinking :lol:
