It should also be good for builders and buyers of custom bikes because these builders will have to learn more about chassis development and suspension. The Kneeslider covered the custom frame builders throughout Europe years ago....imagine the US finally having several knowledgeable & skilled chassis builders on par with Spondon, Steelheart Engineering, Polygon, etc. I hope Mike Cook is available to go to Sturgis and show his Big Twin cafe that was built years ago. See: http://ridethetorquecurve.blogspot.com/2007/01/american-cafe-racer.html Curt Winter also has built a more modern cafe Big Twin. http://btrmoto.com/ Both of these bikes are the best custom performance Big Twin bikes I have come across. They deserve a lot of recognition. Someday, maybe the scene will get so cool that we will be able to hold that custom bike day at Barber....imagine a bike show and track day promotion. Dig it!
