Lindemann Engineering Bee Recovery Station 2.0
Little guy is hard to see but he is warming up under the light bulb/Bee Heater. I picked him up on a clean shop towel for the move to the heater. The drop of water he is standing on is sugar water. To make sugar water just add a bunch of sugar to some water, then heat it up so the sugar goes into solution. I keep it in a little bottle in the shop. All creatures great and small.
Vast Knowledge
This just in from another happy client:
Hey Ed,
Just wanted to thank you again for calling me today.
Your vast knowledge of suspension was not wasted on these ears… I took notes and can’t wait till my shock arrives so I can go out and play with it.
Thanks again for taking the time to explain what I should be looking for in the adjustments of my shock to truly eeek out what it has to offer, not what what I think it should be doing.
I look forward to talking with you again in the future.
Until that time, be safe….
Rob

Still Racing!
I went racing at Auto Club Speedway yesterday with WERA. Riding the #31 Iceman 250 Ninja I battled with two kids who weren’t even born when I started racing, their combined age is less than mine alone. It was a great race, we were stuck behind a SV650 till he ran off the track. The photo is from the back of the SV as we exit T 5/6 on the first lap.
