Next best thing to a Velo Thruxton. Only joking it’s a wonderful idea and beautifully presented.

Thanks for the piece, Chris. And thanks to the readers posting on it! It is always a thrill for a writer to learn that his work is being read, especially when the book is now over a year old. The shot of me riding the bike shows the bug eye mirrors–they aren’t pretty, but they work. The engine shot allows you to see the anti-sumping valve in the oil line just below the timing cover. You can also see the starter motor to the rear of the gear shift cover. Man, that motor was pretty new! Now it looks like a road machine, but everything is a trade off!

Nice timing. I just found this book at the local used book store and am reading it now. So far it’s a great story.
