This October, the Hard Rock Café in Krakow, Poland will unveil one of its rarest and most unique exhibits
On October 21st, the world-renowned US restaurant will add a custom Harley Davidson motorcycle to its collection of rock and roll artifacts. The Café Racer, developed by Polish custom bike company Game Over Cycles (GOC), will show just what happens when the motorcycle world and the music world collide.
Known for their groundbreaking ideas, the GOC crew started out with a Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 and built it up into a symbol of the rock and roll lifestyle.
The rear swingarm has been transformed into a guitar fret board, the battery box is shaped to look like a guitar amp. In fact, the bike is laded with custom parts that have been modified to represent instruments and music gear.
The only standard part in this bike is the Sportster 883 engine. And, aside from the leather seat, all the motorcycle parts were created in the GOC workshop specifically for this project.
Founder and owner of GOC, Stanislaw Myszkowski, spoke about the conpect of the motorcycle.
“Within every theme bike we make, we try to make it express the philosophy of our company. Detailed thoughts on concepts are as equal as a part of the process as the precise execution of technical design.”
“In creating the Café Racer no detail was coincidental. The ideas of custom parts, their formation and their positioning all have a precise meaning within the concept of the bike. This requires creativity and unusual solutions, and the GOC team all played their part in making this unique bike a reality”
