Coburn Benson's Vanderbilt Cup Racer made it into "Youtube" in an exercise on how to steam it up. Step by step. See the video at : [www.youtube.com]

Wondering if the short comments on my solution to goggles and eye glasses is of use,,The Stadium goggles are really good,,and they usually have adjustment at nose piece,,for lateral distance!!,,The size of the WalMart ''readers" is just right,,cut em with diagonal cutters and and use nose piece as a mini handle,,Leather bootlace gets glued with Bordons' super glue,,
All simple and easy,,,,
Most of the bikers use helmits now so good goggles are not always in stock
So it goes,,,My goggles are from 1960s,,Vincent Shadow days,,,
Check e/bay,,for Stadium-mark II,,,,and maybee RedBaron,,,there are knock-ofs,,
Curious if this is of use to you guys,,,
Cheers,,Ben
