Actually, I've moved on from vintage designs. All my latest builds are of a very ultra modern design. Just kidding! Vintage will always be my thing. I just checked the link and those old technical drawings are amazing! Art and engineering at the same time. Did you see that two speed Pierce tranny? The fork drawings and handle bar linkage rods for throttle and timing I would guess. This is an excellent source for reference material. Very cool!

Yep that one is good, especially for construction/design details.

Another really good one for the history of early bikes is

“The American Motorcycle 1869-1914” -Shephen Wright

Stephen Wright’s American Racer reprints are now available!

After I read it I felt like an expert on the subject...












Well, at least like an annoying know it all

was in a bookstore, the need to order the book in the usa !
i don't like amazon, 'cause they are against wikileaks......

 

[cobrafreak]

Got my book from amazon the other day. It's ironic how much of what we still use now are throwbacks from the 00's and 10's. Enjoying it.

 

[Zman]

cobra, i'm still waitin' on the book, but your bike seems to be right out of this !!!

 

[ChopperDave]

This is an excellent source for reference material. Also any of the books by Stephen Wright, Stephen Wright’s American Racer reprints are now available! Though the American Racer 1900-1900 is out of print you can find them occasionally on eBay or Amazon...

Ordered one too. The funny part is if I had it sent to my mail box in Washington State which is 20 minutes away it would take two days.
Had it sent twenty minutes north of the border and it's 21/2 weeks.
