"After a little visit in the ditch in august, the bike was redesigned from
cafe racer to tracker. More suitable for the poor roads in my
neighbourhood. Both me and the bike seems to share oppinion regarding
direction in a much easier way now.
Getting colder in Sweden – and this autumn has been rainy. The garage season is over, and farmer’s racer is moving to the winter residence – with a Singer 29K33.
The plans for
www.farmersracer.com
is to start producing packbags for motorcycling and adventure.
Prototypes will be designed and tested during the winter. 150 square meters of garage has to fit into a 20 square meters of office. A new / old machine has been purchased – able to sew up to 10 mm of stacked leather. After a small renovation and some adjustments of thread tension, the machine is not missing a stitch. Internet is the perfect archive when it comes to old manuals. This machine will be the centerpiece of 2013 production from farmer’s racer: hand (or foot) stitched packbags for adventure, farming and motorcycling."
Thanks Lars for the nice pictures and the Famer's Racer update.
Looking forward to see more.
Cheers,
