Excellent. Notice no need for torque wrenches back then.

Live was much simpler. :icon_wink:

Great video! Wow. Times have changed. Those riders sure liked to eat dust. Not much choice back then. Cycles and roads sure have changed. I wouldn't run my 6 thru that water like they did.

Back then that factory worker made 22 cents an hour. I wonder if that was "edited" for the filming back then cause I seen no sealer of any kind being used or gaskets? Neat to watch them guys pouring that molten metal in street clothes with no protection, who need OSHA anyway?

Little known fact: They had un endless arguments over what type of molten to use for their engines. They constantly argued over viscosity, and heat dissipation, and the one molten fits all philosophy.
