I am working on RR40, but it's just inching along. For YEARS I've thought the RR should have some kind of a technical or even not technical Q&A column, or an Ask Le Mechanic column, or a Touring or Camping Q&A. WE GET ASKED  a lot of questions, and usually answer them on the spot, and the next thing you know we're on to something else, and there goes a chance to fill up a sixteenth of a page of a 48-page READER. 

Emailed questions with your name and city/state...that would help. I could make up some good ones myself, but it's not that critical.

Here's an unrelated thought that I was just thinking today. On one of the clear-coated Bombadils you can see the tubing maker's brand-mark., and it got me thinking that we could take a Sharpie to the bare frame and write Your Name or Hi Mom or Kilroy Was Here or A Cop Owns This & It Has a Tracking Device On It, or anything else on any part of the frame, discrete or quite obvious, and then preserve it under Belgium's finest clear coat for virtually ever.

The next time we clear-coat an unspoken for frame, I think we'll try that.
