Getting rid of some kids books that my son does not read any more and found this!

Very nice rendition of a 750 - must have been drawn with the use of a photo or something because the detail and proportions are extremely good. Hats off to the artist!

As for the whisk profile on the wall???
 
Great image are there anymore pics in the book? Could the whisk be for keeping the shocking E10 petrol spun up over the winter? never thought about it much until recently cleaned out a S&S shorty carb and derusted my tank on a badly laid up bike. E5 and stabliser from now on for me including the mower!
 
A pal in Pittsburgh who builds bikes I bought one of his over a few years ago swears by it interesting to hear any other thoughts but this is what the blurb on eBay says about the one he uses and I have bought ‘Use STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer in any gasoline-powered vehicle or equipment you plan to store for 30-days or longer. It keeps the fuel fresh for up to 24 months during storage, eliminating the need to drain your tank. Works effectively in all gasoline blends, including Ethanol-blended fuel, up to E-85. 1-ounce (30-milliliter) treats up to 2½ gallons (9.5-liters) of fuel. Use STA-BIL only with fresh fuel, and keep gas can or tank 95% full to avoid condensation build up in tank during storage. Run Engine for 5 minutes after adding product to treat entire fuel system. Product does not contain alcohol. Perfect for collector cars, generators, lawn mowers, snow blowers, etc.’ cost about £12 to me.
 
Thanks a lot Dexter- if this works it will be fantastic!
Sick and tired of taking carbs apart and cleaning in an ultrasound cleaner🙃
 
I'd call it a '72 SF (what others call an SF0?), Chris - early brakes, slash-cut mufflers. I call my SF1 a '73 model. It's beautifully drawn regardless of what we call it.
 
... it's the vibrations ya know... they do something to a man's sensibilities.... and thus his choice of protective underwear....

I note the thick spectacles, at one time my SF was vibrating so badly I couldn't see straight, as my eyeballs were wobbling in their sockets.
 
Apologies if this is wrong thread, wasn't sure where to post this.
The comment that drawing was actually a photo made me want to play with some effects. Obviously most will know there are plenty of programs that can do this so for as bit of fun just changed some photos using various effects on a free simple program I found. Couple of the ones I did follow. I know there are plenty of well versed image experts here, but just thought I'd post up and hope they're of interest. I quite like them.

I like it too, I think it’s really cool, although I’m a bit torn because that eagle still looks worn out 😉😉😘
