Description

My very good friend Simon, who is busy rebuilding a 1950s shaft-drive Sunbeam 500cc motorcycle, originally described as a gentlemans motorbike. He is carefully cleaning and logging every part and in essence writing his own manual to go with it. I almost sound as if i know what i am talking about, but i only take the pictures

This looks so good. It's like one of those images from the annual Time-Life Magazine. It's just perfect.

A masterful image of the mechanic's craft. Wonderful light and shadow and texture. And the bonus here, saving a vintage bike, doing God's work.

"I almost sound as if i know what i am talking about" - laughed out loud at that ! Sounds like a fascinating project. Sunbeam 500 sounds so much better than "Honda CBR 500" :)
