As we all know, customs and coffee go together like eggs and bacon. In some shops, the espresso machine gets more of a workout than the English wheel.
See See Motorcycles spotted this trend a long time ago, and have been serving fine Stumptown coffee in their Portland, Oregon HQ for years. But shop owner Thor Drake and his band of merry pranksters have now elevated their coffee game to new heights?by installing an espresso machine in a Ural sidecar.

Thor may be a coffee connoisseur, but he also hates being pigeonholed.
?Someone once said to us: ?You guys build those cafe racer bikes, right"? he recalls. ?We didn’t know how to answer, because we do quite a bit more than just build bikes. And technically, we?ve only ever built one cafe bike?an XR400, well over ten years ago.?
Ever since, Thor has avoided building a cafe racer, mainly to rebel against the stereotype. ?Well, until now. We?ve literally built a real cafe racer!?
The bike is a 2014 Ural cT?so it?s a 750cc sidecar with a reverse gear. ?It?s the same bike that saw service in World War II, updated with better brakes and fuel injection,? says Thor. ?A great platform for any custom build: it?s simple in design, and easy to change out small parts.?
