As I mentioned in my last post, I had experienced a brake problem and was expecting to find a noticeable leak in the system. I did not find any leaking, however the problem could have been caused by an internal leak in the master cylinder.

This is part of what was once known as the Harrah's Collection. This collection was formerly housed in a couple of large warehouses located on the outskirts of the city.

This time I brought my digital camera along with me. The images are much sharper.

So what result exactly, would I be trying to achieve? The brutal simplicity of a vintage board track racer is the image that I dream of. Of course I can't build an exact replica, it could not be driven on the street. However, it is the essence, or spirit of the bike that I would like to channel.
