Issue #1

Where it all started. The first ever issue of Cafe Racer Magazine kicks things off the right way — with a $75,000 Vincent-powered Stonebridge Ace Cafe Racer that only 100 lucky souls will ever own, a deeply cool Yamaha XS650 build out of Iowa that proves you don't need a British badge to build a proper cafe racer, and eyewitness accounts from a bloke who was actually there at the Ace Cafe when the Ton Up Boys were ruling the North Circular. We also head to Chicago for the Mods vs. Rockers throwdown at Delilah's, go hands-on with a pair of Vincent specials that cost more than most houses, get a potted history of the Ace Cafe from London correspondent Linda Wilsmore, and settle in for a frank look at the best — and worst — rocker films ever put to celluloid. The Leatherboys holds up. Most of the others, not so much. Issue One. The one that started the whole thing.
