Topic: A good read on a cold winters night.

[Sam Green Racing]

We'd had dinner and Billy Benton and myself got in a round about way, you know how it is, you're talking about one thing and it leads to another, anyway, we ended up talking about the engineering skills of the Honda technicians that built the Grand Prix bikes of the 60s.
At that point, I thought to myself that I had not heard from a member on here for some time.
He didn't have a lot of posts to his name and the following story don't relate to any of his posts.
His user name is hondarc174 (a clue) his real name is Julien Charnol, anyway, just enjoy the story, if you're into engineering, this will blow your mind.

Thanks for posting the link Sam, great read.   Honda Canada has a six (250 I think), listened to it go around Mosport once, made a V12 Ferrari sound plebeian.

Thanks for that Sam. I am in love with the old Honda RC Six's. Currently building a Tamiya Brand plastic model kit of the RC166 with the upmost of details. Been building model kits for 20 years and never seen one with such fine details. This article is just the icing on the cake for me. Thanks again

If you have anything at all to do with manufacturing side (Tool and die, machinist, Mold maker)
then you will understand what an undertaking this project must have been
its manufacturing porn....................very nice stuff
