And now for something entirely different...

Post by iansoady »

Some years ago I bookmarked an excellent website then forgot about it. I was idly scanning my bookmarks and came across it again. It's a cornucopia of excellent information on all sorts, written and maintained by a bloke who was in the motorcycle trade in the USA for many years. You (and I) may not agree with everything he says but it's all well reasoned stuff. His carburettor articles in particular are excellent and his short article re Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a gem.

I wonder if he's worked on any Kawasakis?

He does say so but there's a lot to read! The carb stuff is of course more or less generic and much even applies to Amals and the like.

Some interesting stuff. I read the articles on ethanol and Sta-Bil.

Christ, he's rather full of himself, no wonder he gravitates towards Honda's. Probably difficult to ride with a stick that far up his ass tho..
