the tide of history...

the age difference = about 30 years

年齢差 = 30歳

the age difference = about 60 years

年齢差 = 60歳

the age difference = about 80 years

年齢差 = 80歳

those knuckleheads and jd...
oh, that's not fair!
their motor itself are already beautiful.
if we take good care of them, 
it will last for another 50 years for sure.
these are sight for the gods...

 knuckleやjdのエンジンってずるいよ、
それだけで充分美しいんですもの。
大切にすればあと50年だって楽勝で生き続ける。
見るとなぜだかホッとするなあ、やっぱり。

i agree Ayu, and that's why i sacrificed the car of my dreams, one i completely rebuilt myself, to buy a knucklehead engine.

i have it now at my home in Yamanashi and i am building the bike a little every day.

much respect to Shinya San for the way he shows respect to these bikes/engines.
