In Bikes, Design, Ride Of the Day

Ever been to Paris? Love Motorcycles? If the answer is yes to both questions, you should definitely take one afternoon off and go meet the guys at Vintage Racers. Located in an old Triumph garage near Bastille (and yes, they’re THAT cool), VR are a blogging/modding/tuning collective of engine enthusiasts. One of the many masterpieces they helped building is this absolutely gorgeous Triumph Cafè Racer. No need for words, with a bike like that. Allez. And Vive la France.
