During a visit to fellow villager Gekra Motoren I met two friendly Britons, Lee, a specialist in former military BSA B40s and Dave from Ratio Rebuilds, a company that makes BSA single-cylinder engine blocks new again.
Friendly British
Gekra is traditionally a trade in 'dump engines', or as it sounds nicer: 'Army surplus motorcycles'. And in that capacity he apparently still has so many things lying around that the two Britons roamed among his shelves like a couple of happy children in a ball pit. "He has stuff that we don't have in Britain anymore!"
The BSA single books
Lee is working on the final BSAWDB40 book. Dave has already published a few books under the name Rupert Ratio. And of course they are for sale. In England.
But after reading through the present copies (with assignment) that he had brought for GErrit KRAnenberg, we still want to pass on those titles:
These are the BSA Single unit manuals, and more detailed and clear books have not yet been published on this subject. The set consists of three parts.
Together under one roof
Dave and Lee work together in the workshop. So Dave (Rupert) Ratio's books can be ordered online at www.bsawdB40.com
After some searching, the books can also be purchased online. But that is of course much less real.
