Bench Racing & The Morning Reads

This edition just packed with interesting threads and great pics like always. Thanks Mika. Appreciate all your efforts.
 
Mika, is that a /3 in the pic towards top of today's post?
R51 maybe?

Is this the picture you are referring to?



The information I found with the picture lists it as a R5 1936. The picture should be hot linked to the Facebook source so click on it.
 
That is the pic to which I refer, yes.
Thanks sir
If anyone is going to the National this year, visit the Vintage display.
And that's all I'm going to say.

The series has come a long way in the five years since 2010, when there were just 17 full-time entries on the grid, and Suzuki was teetering on the brink of withdrawal.

The CRT bikes became Open class bikes, and Dorna's pet project of standardized electronics has been adopted into the MotoGP rules. From 2016, ther

Andrea Dovizioso has topped the first session of free practice for the MotoGP class at Le Mans. The Ducati rider was quick from the start of the session, among the group of riders swapping the lead throughout, before putting in a very quick lap at the end of the session to take a quarter of a second lead over 2nd place man Marc Marquez. Marquez got off to a tricky start, twice suffering technical problems with his Honda RC213V.

Formula 750 was a happy accident. Nobody planned it. After Harley-Davidson’s KR performance upgrade of 1968 made the painstakingly developed 500 Triumphs obsolete, at the winter AMA Competition Congress, Triumph proposed raising the OHV displacement limit from 500cc to 750. To its surprise, Harley countered with a proposal to set the OHV limit at 750, and the motion passed. While Triumph/BSA readied its triples, Honda made a cameo appearance at the 1970 Daytona 200 with a big team of CB750-based racers and won. That is, the experienced and realistic Dick Mann was able to keep his Honda runnin

Had finances not restricted the forward progression, a world title might’ve been possible. Th

Quietly, the 821 is bringing radical change to the family of 90-degree V-twins derived from the original 851 8-Valve Desmo, which, in turn, was based on the Pantah 500 that Dr. Fabio Taglioni designed back in the mid-1970s. The Pantah was the result of a crash program to give Ducati a middleweight sportbike after the bad flop of the 350-500 GTV SOHC parallel twin. To develop the new middleweight as quickly as possible, Taglioni extensively drew from the experience collected in years of honing the 250cc Desmo and the mighty 750/900 90-degree “bevel gear” V-twin in all its variations, including

After the great depression of 1930, Scott Sobrevivía Thanks to the military contracts. In 1931 Bill Cull Sat up Scott as head coach, and decided to design a motorcycle of luxury of three cylinders for the highest segment of the market. In 1932 cull designs an engine of two times, three cylinders and 747 cc for a project aborted of a generator for the navy and this represents the origin of the motorcycle Scott three built in 1933. However, the Prototype of the Scott three was quite crude and poor management. When the prototypes of the model three were tested for the press at the beginning of 1934 received a "approved" along with praise for the performance of the motor.
But when the so-called Scott Model 3 s was unveiled at the end of 1934 in the London Olympia Motorcycle Show, where it caused feeling, its engine of three cylinders of two times refrigerado by Liquid had been completely redesigned to use on motorcycles And increased to 986 cc.
The 3 s was finally went on sale at 1936 for £ 115 after four years of testing on all types of roads
Ironically, in spite of the fact that only were built nine motorcycles Scott three, the design of 3 cylinders of bill cull happened to feed a number of cars. The Importer French Scott, Clément Garreau, sold two engines of Scott three as dkw. In 1939 dkw produced its own engine of three cylinders for his car two times f9 900 cc clearly inspired by the design of Scott, but the production of this was stopped side until after the war, when this design is Used in cars IFA 309 Dkw F91 / f93 and also in the wartburg and saab 93.
Five of the nine Scott three built survive today, but the only one who is in order to launch is, as I could not be otherwise, which is on display at the museum of Sammy Miller.
