    Across America by Motor Cycle - 1920

    Free kindle book and epub digitized and proofread by volunteers.


    Only parts needed:
    Five cylinders
    Three pistons
    Five gudgeon (wrist) pins
    Three sets of engine bearings
    Two con rods
    Eleven spark plugs

    Ok, the roads back then were utter crap, and knocked the ass out of mechanical components, but it only goes to show the incredible steps forward in material technology we take for granted nowadays, when a similar journey on similar roads (like from Vlad to the Urals) would comfortably be done on something fairly cheap and reliable, like an Aprilia Pegaso.
