Someone seems to have amended Geusch's law

I like the black paint job on yours - nice old Brit-bike look to it.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

When I first read it, I knew nothing about maintaining motorcycles.
After reading it, I still knew nothing about maintaining motorcycles.
Years later, after learning how to maintain motorcycles, I realised the

Hmmm, how do I put this without causing severe distress and
disillusionment?

Er, it's not actually about motorcycle maintenance. It's about the
author going on a Journey of Self Discovery and Reclaiming his Erased
Personality.

It's also pretentious and dull, and he doesn't seem to be as deep a
thinker as he imagines himself to be. But there you go.

Yes, but that's kind of the point of the book..

 

It's probably marginally more accurate.

I always assumed his was a hardly-davey-thingy, mind, for no good reason.

I liked the book though.

Honda CB77 / 305 AFAIK

 

Now *that's* more like a decent book.

But wasn't the bike they didn't have a Black Shadow not a Black Bomber?

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Timo Geusch

I'm glad I learned something from it then.

Fwiw, I ploughed through it twice, years apart, and wondered why I'd
bothered.

Yeah, the factory team...

 

ah. could be. I don't think it says in the book, and I was never that
bothered to find out by any other means.

 

I liked the book too

But, I often wondered what sort fo bike it was. At one point he
refers to "10,000 rpm", so it was certainly Japanese. My best guess
had been a 400/4.

 

Way too early for that. I always thought it was a CB350, but a long
thread on rmt a few years ago seemed to pin it down to a CB77.
