I'm saving that first one to the hard drive. It has certain features which make me fear for its longevity, although I personally believe its beauty is matched by its artistic merit. The second one...

I don't know much about the Spitfire, other than that it's very beautiful. I do know that that particular one was called "Borough of Lambeth" because it was paid for by public subscription among the...

I haven't had a motorcycle since the eighties. In those days, I used to have a round tin about half full of solidified wax with some black stuff dissolved in it - graphite, maybe. The drill was to...

Incidentally, where do people stand on the question of the factory lube you get on a new chain? Do you run with it until it's time to clean the chain? It seems awfully sticky stuff, and the shop...

The Singer stuff gets my vote over the WD-40! Here, I use multigrade engine oil, just like I use in the car. I know it drips for a few days, and attracts dirt while riding, but the remedy for that...
