Christmas Present Ideas with a 'bike theme!
andy120t:
..just thought it might be interesting to share and receive a few thoughts for seasonal gifts (I'm thinking low cost, so don't say ' 0-mile Sandcast, or similar!).
My starter for ten -
Stealing Speed book by Matt Oxley. All about two-stroke development in the Eastern Bloc by a chap called Walter Kaaden and how it was pinched by Ernst Degner who defected, stole the tech knowledge and helped Suzuki become a top two-stroke manufacturer. Great read.
K2-K6:
Book looks very interesting, a good idea certainly.
A contribution https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283101740928 vernier caliper with secondary adjustment carriage, you lock the secondary part and then turn the barrel to get it accurate in fitting what you are measuring, surprisingly precise compared to just single clamping. A very nice unassuming device, but very usable.
Bryanj:
Sneaky putting Mitutoyo in the description though
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Just read "A Bikers Life" by Henry Cole I never had him down as an old Etonian. Interesting read nonetheless.
Laverdaroo:
I'm with Ken on that one.
I have never seen anyone take a corner quite like Henry Cole, it's a wonder hes still alive as every time you see a pre rehersed corner shot in what ever he's on, it maes you wince.
He's been about a bit though, good on him 8)
