K Cameron's Classic Motorcycle Race Engines book..

I picked up a copy the other day. It is fantastic and full of great information. Very, very detailed for all tech geeks. Interesting anecdotes about Honda (and other companies) and the people involved with engine development over the past 75 years.

Lucky I have such a good self image Sam otherwise my feelings would be hurt. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I do like tech stuff....don't think I'm the geeky type (my wife might say some other type but the forum won't allow me to post it.) ::) ;D

I'll have to check it out.
Top Dead Center was a very good read.
And trust me, I'm no tech head.
Boof head would be a better description. :)

Cheers,
Brian

Mike,

    Thanks for the heads up.  Just for curiousity, how much of the book was devoted to 70s vintage Honda sohc4s?  And when will you be writing a book devoted to HiPo sohc4s?  Can I prepay for a signed 1st edition... ;D

It's a good read Simon but I doubt YOU would learn much from it.  ;)
