Title: Airhead engine cutaway
Post by: montmil on July 26, 2012, 10:48:13 AM

Do we ever drift off-topic here in the R65 Asylum? Uh... Is the Pope Catholic?  [smiley=whistling.gif]

So now I cannot find whatever thread it was that Matt and I ran cmpletely off the road some weeks ago. I know, I know. Stick to the original topic and that reminds me of another story about Bengt... but I digress. Again.

Here's the photo Matt mentioned when I steered off to Cuban sandwiches, South Lamar, SoCo and the Horsepower Farm in Austin, Texas.

It's an R60. I especially like the way the bike's frame is used to display the engine. Even the adjustable legs added to the frame are a nice touch.

There's also a complete early Yamaha 4-stroke twin with the engine, chassis, body parts, mufflers and lights cut away. No photo. You'll have to go by the joint.

And if you do, let me know because I know where the locals keep the "refreshing beverages".

The only way that could be made any better would be to have beer taps coming out of the exhaust ports.  Say one for Shiner Bock, and one for Miller Lite. ::)

I just want to know where the bit about the Cuban sandwiches is.

Me, too, Ron. I've tried to find that post but no joy. It's buried in one of several off-topic chats that I'm occasionally lured into by devious others. This time, I blame Matt in Austin. Usually, it's that danged Bengt Phorqs guy.

Food trailers are a huge phenomenon in Austin. We try and catch one or two each visit.
