Recommended reading

In earlier scribblings, Bodger has alluded to reading articles in the monthly fish wraps known as classic bike magazines, as well as the occasional book or three.....and it's true, these have been read and not just the pictures looked at. So I'm gonna make a suggestion and even make a mild endorsement for the following, the improving classic motorcycles set by Graham Blighe. There's three of them and these are worthwhile additions to any shed library. Graham doesn't go into great technical details about stuff, but what he does is to let you know in basic and understandable terms why something does what it does, or in the case of how to refurbish a speedometer, how to do it right as well as how to calibrate it to make sure you've got it right. Here's a linky to his website, though I know by now that you'll have to type it all in up top in order to get anywhere: www.improvingclassicmotorcycles.com Have a look see and order his books. This BTW was an unpaid for and unsolicited plug for these fine literary tomes* *Graham, leave a small paper bag with small notes under the bush by the door and we're good to go.
