secret manual repair

Mazda is promoting its new i-ELOOP regenerative braking technology as part of its "Skyactiv" suite of fuel saving technologies.

The weekend of November 30th 2013, Dallas Slot cars hosted their first major retro racing event.

The race was run under IRRA LLC rules and the event hand out motors were the "Fast Ones" Demon FK motors.

All races were run on DSCs recently refurbished 155 Gerding "G-16" King Track.

Nick Clements of Mens File magazine filmed interviews with participants at the 2015 Wheels+Waves festival in Biarritz, and produced this short film, apparently Part 1 of a longer effort to come. Yours truly is interviewed on the scene, along with some very interesting fellows. Give it a watch!

Consumer Reports blog has an interesting interview with Henrik Fisker, the daddy of the troubled Fisker Karma (he must feel somewhat like Paris Hilton's dad).

In one of his answers, Fisker states that he sees a market for range extender engines which are non-brand, because they are no longer the core of the automobile.

When do you predict electric cars and plug-in hybrids will become more affordable?

Over the coming years, I could see several opportunities where gasoline engines are produced by certain carmakers in very high volume and provided to various carmakers who make electric cars with range extenders, because the gasoline engine only functions as a range extender, so you can take cost out of that gasoline engine in the future. And you can also produce in very high volumes for various carmakers since [wouldnt any longer be] the heart of the automobile.

This is a very interesting prediction, and I think it could be good for companies such as GM, who have expertise in producing small engines that meet stringent emissions requirements and have good reliability.  OEMs could soak up their extra manufacturing capacity by making "white box" engines to sell as range extenders, which they would probably have to sell complete with engine controller and software calibration.   They would, however, be enabling the competition. 

On the other hand, what established automakers are already good at is making small engines.  What is elusive is cost effective development of the electric side of things, such as regenerative braking, battery management, etc.  So perhaps a better idea for the likes of Fisker and Tesla, if they are to survive, is to sell their electric propulsion exp ertise to laggards in the hybrid-electric space, such as Chrysler and BMW. 

                      

Comment spammers keep posting links to videos on Youtube about Ahn Sahng-hong.  He was the leader of a Korean church splintered from the 7th Day Adventists, and his followers are apparently convinced he was the Messiah.  Bizarre.

Shinya Kimura on his 1915 Indian twin, on a test run before its 4th Cannonball, as seen from the back of our wet plate van, my Sprinter with red safety film on the window for our mobile darkroom.

It was history to be made, and 93 riders grasped the gauntlet; to be the first 100-year old vehicles of any sort to cross the United States.  Cars, planes, bicycles, rollers skates, whatever - the 2016 Motorcycle Cannonball Endurance Rally, this year called the Race of the Century, would the be the first attempt to my knowledge for any C enturion vehicle to cross the country in an observed trial.  That claim was staked at the starters banquet in the Golden Nugget hotel on September 9th in Atlantic City, New Jersey, during an oppressively hot and muggy late Summer week - 95 degrees and 90% humidity - the hotel having chiseled off its Trump name some years ago during a bankruptcy proceeding.

Trying to get a decent shot of the assembled 94 motorcycles on the Atlantic City boardwalk, just before the 10am start of the Cannonball.

It wasnt the only evidence of Tr ump, or bankruptcy, wed encounter on our third trip over backroads America.  Three Cannonballs, this one likely to be my last, and for once totally bikeless, as my partner (with the bike) couldnt take the 3 weeks off this year.   My artistic and life partner Susan, after a crisis huddle, decided our MotoTintype project was too important to abandon, so we chose to follow the Cannonball as photographers, taking as many wet plate photos as we could, and round out the hundreds of images wed already shot on the prior 2 events, in order to make a book of the best images. Susans brother Scott drove my Sprinter to NYC, and thus began another epic road trip.

...and the shot I was able to take, from the opposite direction from the official panorama of the start.

The Motorcycle Cannonball was initiated by Lonnie Isam Jr, as both an homage to the achievement of Erwin Cannonball Bakers cross-country record breaking sprees in the early part of the 20th Century, and a challenge to the many owners of early motorcycles who didnt ride them all that much. Lonnie believed early machines were just as capable of crossing the country today - on paved roads rather than dirt tracks - as they were when new, and the first Cannonball was held in 2010, with a small cadre of riders on pre-1916 machines accepting the challenge.  That first year was notoriously difficult, and an admirably bonding experience.  Nobody had tried such an incredibly long ride - 3500 miles - on such old machinery, and nobody really knew what to expect, or how the bikes would hold up to riding and average 250 miles/day on a rigorous schedule.

Kurt Klokkenga, one of the motorcycle sweep staff of the Cannonball, who were allowed to help repair machines en route without penalty.  Im sure many stranded riders were grateful of their help!  Love his patina Panhead.

Not surprisingly, the tales of woe and late nights spent making repairs, every single night, made that 2010 event legendary.  Most of the original 45 riders vowed never to do it again, and kept th eir promise!  Some returned in 2012 though, especially as the rules were relaxed to include bikes up to 1930.  That allowed me to naively enter the 2012 Cannonball with my 1928-framed Velocette Mk4 KTT.  The Mule had been my reliable rally machine for 12 years, taking in 7 week-long Velocette rallies, covering 250-mile days with aplomb.  Id already effectively double the Cannonball mileage on a similar daily schedule, so it seemed a plausible effort.

Beauty among the beasts!  Rider Steve DeCosas daughters joined up (help with he r name!?), and Buck Carson of Carson Classic Motors was happy to pose on the 1913 Warwick delivery tricycle ridden by his father Mike.

Readers of my 2012 Cannonball reports on TheVintagent.com know I had terrible problems with two replacement camshafts I installed, the first lasting about 20 miles total, and the second, installed after many hours modification at a machine shop, lasted only a further 1000 miles.  Those were blissful miles over the Rockies, Ill confess, but the truth was, the Cannonball defeated my preparation.  The Mule remains the only overhead-camshaft motorcycle to run the Cannonball, and several H-D riders suggested that a machine which couldnt be fixed with a hammer had no place on a run like the Cannonball.  Perhaps theyre correct.

German engineering!  Thomas Trapp and Paul Jung found the front fender of this 1915 Harley-Davidson too long, and fouling the front wheel at speed, so they bobbed it!  Thomas is Europes largest H-D dealer, from Frankfurt.

In 2014, I partnered with Revival Cycles to ride Bryan Bossiers 1933 Brough Superior 1150, which proved an absolutely remarkable machine, showing its heels daily to every other Cannonball machine, and cruising at a steady 65-70mph, even ridden two-up, with Susan on the back.  Our only competition was the 1936 H-D Knuckleheads squeaking into the pre-1937 rules, but a day-long ride on a Knuck over the 11,000 Independence Pass in Colorado, with its endless hairpin turns, revealed there was no comparison between the pride of American engineering, and a cobbled-up masterpiece of British engineering.  Sorry dudes. (Read my 2014 ride report here)

We had plenty of visitor and day-trippers along for the ride, including Cannonball veteran and publisher Buzz Kanter of American Iron mag.

With no motorbike to concern us this year, Susan and I had an all-Sprinter Cannonball rally, and embraced the experience.  Following the same route as the riders, we were blessed with the endlessly beautiful and fascinating l andscape of the United States.  The natural beauty of the East Coast forests, with their winding hills and hollows, lovely climbs were perfect motorcycle roads, dotted regularly with podunk villages and oddball eateries, brought a mix of awe at Nature and concern at Nurture.   Signs supporting a blustering demagogue were inevitably mixed with Confederate flags in Pennsylvania, a clear repudiation of both the policies and race of our current president, in parts of the country left far behind the technology-based prosperity of my native California.

Our wet plate photo of Round the World Doug Wothkes 1917 Douglas twin, brought along for spares, since it was too new for the Cannonball.

The start of this years rally was hot and oppressive, with daily 95deg temps and 90% humidity.  Jumping in an out of the Sprinter to develop photographs was an experience in hydration management, a subject which became increasingly critical as the days rolled forward, regardless of our ride nurse Vicki Spitfire Sanfelipo handing out electrolite tablets like candy.  Make friends with Gatorade, she said, so we did, and wrung out our sweat-soaked clothing at night (Ill cover our wet plate adventure in a separate post).

Cris Sommer Simmons has ridden Effie, her 1915 Harley-Davidson, on 2 Cannonballs now, and it acquitted itself very well.

September 10th was a short ride of 158 miles through an endless series of New Jersey stoplights. The heat, and the constant stop-start, took a heavy toll on machinery and riders, and by the end of the day in York, Pennsylvania, 23 machines were hors de combat.  Some refused to start in the heat, some broke parts, some seized, and one burned to the ground. John Pfeifer had built an extra-capacity fuel tank for his 1916 Harley-Davidson, and the weight of a full tank pressed down onto the rear cylinders rocker arm (atop the cylinder head on an F-head motor).  It only took 80 miles or so for the rocker to wear through the metal, fuel to spill onto the magneto, and a great ball of flame to erupt.  John watched his machine burn for 20 minutes before a fire truck arrived with a decent extinguisher.  The first day was the worst day overall, culling the field quickly, and serving notice this wasnt going to be an easy run.

Our wet plate of Brent Hansen and his 1913 Shaw motor bicycle, with a very long road before him.

On a bright note, Susan and I had a terrific meal at the Left Bank in York, the first of 3 excellent meals on our 17-day trip.  We tried our hardest to eat well, searching daily for the best restau rant in X, and finding lists online which invariably included chains like Jack in the Box. Its not difficult to draw conclusions about rural American culinary habits from this, and youd be correct - America grows food for the world, but eats poorly in the very regions that food is grown.  But wed discovered that a couple of times already, and brought a sufficient stock of coffee and wine from home!

A visit from the locals!  Atlantic city crew - the neighborhood 12 OClock Boys, although they sheepishly admitted they were 1 or 2 OClockers in reality , as a fully vertical wheelie is hard!

Rural Pennsylvania is a lovely place to ride through.  We stopped in Collinsville, PA, for some ice cream

Day 1: carnage.  The cylinder head on Dave Volneks 1915 Indian blew out, but he had spares, and the bike was back on the road the next day.

Part of a strong German contingent, Andreas Kaindl rode his 1915 Henderson single-speeder, which he purchased from the Hockenheim Museum, and added a convincing faux-patina paint job.  This was Andys 2nd Cannonball.

Frank Westfall on his 1912 Henderson, and Buck Carson on his 1914 BSA single belt-driver.

A gentlemans mount!  Kevin Waters has Beamed across America twice now, having ridden a 33 Sunbe am Model 9 the full distance in 2014.  His 1915 Sunbeam single was a lovely, and very early, example of the marque.

Trouble begins before the beginning! The 1913 Douglas of Steve Alexander gets a flat in the first 6 miles, at the staging area...

Doug Feinsod, a Cannonball veteran, and one of the Thor Losers, a 5-rider team of rare Thor v-twins

Many kind words and thoughts were directed to our friend Bill Buckingham, who was tragically killed 2 weeks before the Cannonball.  His usual #40 number plate was carried by a string of other riders, and 40 stickers adorned many bikes.  Godspeed, Bill
