Just posted a video of my friend Rob and I riding in Oregon through the Columbia Gorge on Highway 30 and beautiful back roads for 40 minutes. He’s on his custom 1979 CB750k Gulf Oil themed cafe racer, and I’m on the bizarrely awesome 1992 TDM 850.

Watch the “Columbia Gorge Motorcycle Goodness” video on the MotoLady Official youtube channel.

Ah, nostalgia.

Isaiah Pannier’s 1979 GS425e Cafe Racer

What you can do with some elbow grease and effort is truly amazing. Seeing high dollar builds with every detail planned and perfectly executed is definitely inspiring, each piece a work of art. But I think what I like more are garage built bikes, customized by the owner to their liking instead of a shop or designer. They both have their positives, but this is a great example of what I mean.

Isaiah’s cafe racer build began with a bike you don’t often find in the USA, a 1979 Suzuki GS425e.

Little Horse Cycles 1972 CB500 Cafe Racer

Andrew Cornelissen is a motorcyclist and fabricator in Portland, Oregon. His Honda CB500 custom always cruised smoothly into events looking debonaire and classy. I had to get some photos to share. That turned into me asking him all the work he’d done and well, it’s quite the list. Andrew is the founder and owner of Little Horse Cycles, does fantastic fabrication, welding, and top notch motorcycle build projects.
