    Hello there!
    I'm Marco from Palermo, Italy!
    I'm here to introduce myself and my ride: here's my '83 XJ 550 cafe racer, almost done (need more appointments). I hope you like it!

    Is the air lever, really suitable in that position!
    Only the essential was left on the bars :)

    Tomaselli bars, italian handmade craftmanship from the '60s, really sensible and strong. the driving position is a bit strange because they're so small and my chest is pushed upon the big gas tank. really enjoyable.
