The first time that I thought about building a Cafe Racer some years ago, my mechanical knowledge was limited. I had no idea about design, and of course, I did not know the regulations regarding the homologation of reforms on a motorcycle. The result: a Ducati Forza from the 79, painted and upholstered by myself, almost impossible to ride, and of course not homologable to circulate in any Spanish city. I had to sell it in pieces because the mess could not be solved in any other way. After Lucky, my Ducati’s name, many more came. I spent countless hours training and in my workshop, along with failures and victories. That time was dedicated to what I liked most: restoring and transforming motorcycles. I love what I do, and I love telling it. Through this book I want to help you avoid making the same mistakes I did when I started, and above all, to show you that you can do it. You can choose a motorcycle that will be the basis of your Cafe Racer project. You can design your dream motorcycle yourself. You can get the elements and mount them on the chassis. You can get everything to work perfectly. And finally, I want to show you that you will only need a toolbox, a small workshop (even a storage room), and lots of lots of desires. I am not a mechanic by any means, although I admire them with all my heart. Thanks to listening to them, I’ve learned a lot of what I know. However, like doctors, they sometimes speak in a language that is very complicated for common folk to understand. I'm going to tell you how to build a Cafe Racer as if we were having a beer in the bar next to the workshop, with words that everyone understands, because that is my dream: to bring motorcycle transformations to people like you and me. Here begins the road... do you go up?

Hailed by many as the greatest racing car of all time, the 917’s story is packed with superlatives. It began with an incredible display of 25 complete cars to achieve homologation in 1969. The following year, the 917 gave Porsche its first-ever win at Le Mans and repeated the result in 1971. Meanwhile, the factory-backed JW Automotive 917s captured the World Championship of Makes for Porsche in both years. Gordon Wingrove worked for JW Automotive during the 917 years and saw first hand what made these cars so special. In a book that sparkles with personal experience, he combines substantial contributions by the Porsche engineers who created the car with his own incisive understanding, to produce a remarkable technical appraisal. Every aspect of the design and development of the 917 is considered, from its innovation and ruthless pursuit of performance, to the teamwork and inspirational leadership that produced such startling results. Endurance racing was never the same again after the 917 – this book demonstrates why!
