Infamous for doing the ton – exceeding speeds of 100 miles per on public roads – the ton-up boys, as they became known, garnered a reputation that preceded them all over the United Kingdom and into greater Europe. The café-racer culture, a term originally used as a slur against rebellious riders who tore from one coffee bar to another aboard modified motorcycles, steadily grew from a sport into a complete lifestyle that embodied the vibrant British counterculture of the times, ultimately becoming a movement that took Europe and the rest of the world by storm. Today, the café-racer movement enjoys popularity unheard of during its postwar heyday. From international rallies to a renewed interest in café slang and style, Café Racers tells the complete story of how a few speed-starved teens sparked what would become a worldwide moto-culture phenomenon. Accompanied by mouthwatering portrait photography by Michael Lichter and enlightening, entertaining text by Paul d'Orléans – founder of the Vintagent blog – the bikes within these pages were collected for or built specifically for Lichter’s Ton-Up!

This is a high-end production with many double-page photographs of these modified motorcycles. This large and heavy book may require additional postage. …
