New to Cafe Racers, have a few questions.

1) Is there a story behind the sub culture? You know, something similar to how speakeasys were a result of prohibition?2) through lurking I have begun to understand that cafe racers are custom bikes, what makes a bike a “cafe racer” . I always just thought it was a genre of bike like saying I’m buying a crutch rocket or somethingJust trying to learn because I love the way these bikes look, they’re all gorgeous and have their own character via /r/CafeRacers https://www.reddit.com/r/CafeRacers/comments/9tdyly/new_to_cafe_racers_have_a_few_questions/?utm_source=ifttt
