Cafe Racers: Rockers, Rock 'N' Roll and the Coffee-Bar Cult

by Mike Clay

This one-of-a-kind history recalls the bygone era of cafe racers -- those motorcycles which earned an esteemed place among the mod coffee bar set of the 1950s and '60s. More than 250 black-and-white photographs have been gleaned from movie stills, newspapers, and private collections to tell the story of the bikes, the drivers, and what cafe racing was all about.
