This "power file" is one of the most useful tools around the place. If you need this then nothing else would have done the job. Cheap, too.

Superbike: An Illustrated Early History. What a great book. It's amazing how many memories it evokes, and how Kevin Cameron can tell a whole story about racebike evolution just by looking at each John Owens photo. #wsbk

And a return to Summit Point, WV, where I learned roadracing as a teen. Summit is kind of cobby but much faster than Loudon, and there isn't as much paint swapping. #roadracing #NHMS #SPMP.

Loudon, NH in 2004. Trying figure out what had changed in #roadracing since 1980. A lot it turns out, but the adrenaline rush was the same. #motorcycle

Testing the BMW R50S lifting saddle with wooden mock. Need to get accurate XYZ dimensions of the hard lifting points.

The 1961 BMW R50S, aka magnificent beast, needs new rims. For mobility once the wheels are off we'll use a cheap rolling lift. First step is to design a saddle for the lift to fit the complicate undercarriage. First saddle concept using Blender 3D. #blender #vintagemotorcycle
