I'm Tom, also known as Tahitian Rider.

I love building and restoring motorcycles, especially Cafe Racers and making motorcycle builds videos.
I've built more than 7 motorcycles in just 2 and a half year and plan on building more so make sure to stick around for those timelapse build videos.

I also love riding all kind of stuff: Bikes, Enduro, ATV, etc.

New video is out!
I tried to do a "slower" timelapse on this video to see more details of the build process, compared to my other timelapse. So, do you like the slower timelapse with more details like this one? Let me know ;)
And happy holidays!

Would you guys be interested in additional/various content, or just stick purely to motorcycle build videos??
This would only be additional/bonus content to the Cafe Racer builds videos, it would not replace them at all ;)
It seems that you liked the Workshop build video quite well (thanks a lot!! :) ) so this gives me ideas!

This is something that has been requested by many of you guys for long time!

I have added a dedicated Parts List page to my website: tomracingdesigns.com/index.php/parts-list/
That will be updated with each build so you know which parts I use!

I am also very happy to introduce our partnership with Cafe Racer Webshop where I've been getting parts for a long time! Plus they are lauching crazy Black Friday deals this week so be sure to check them out! ;)
