We don't know what to make of this sale. Some bikes sold way below their estimate. A 1. 93. 8 Crocker was expected to fetch between $3. A 1. 93. 5 Brough Superior 1. Sump Classic Bike News August 2. But the optimistic $2. But note that we had originally penned an estimate of $1. Mecum raised the estimate after we'd ran our story. We're seeking clarification on that point. To put it all in context, we're also seeing a lot of other stuff in the USA and elsewhere around the world either selling for . If this is a reflection of wider economic fears, it's a little troubling, but not yet anything to get aerated about. On the plus side, we took a special liking to the unrestored 1. Indian racer (Lot F1. The Indian lettering on the tank, however, looks a little too perfect and suggests that someone in the not too distant past has been busy with a lettering brush. But most of the rest looks fairly . Evidently someone at the sale agreed and paid $8. The original seat, front rim and tyre were included in the sale. We're still awaiting an official report on the sale from Mecum. Story snapshot. If you ride a motorcycle, you'll have to make whatever provisions are viable (snorkel, aqualung, or simply holding your breath). The key thing is to get to the front of the queue (which not all bikers do), and then get the hell away from the lights a millisecond after they turn green (which most smart bikers do anyway). There are face masks on the market for around twenty quid. Urban cyclists wear them, and naturally urban cyclists need them more because they're sucking in a lot more fumes than us shallow breathing bikers. At Sump, we've never tried these things. But then, we don't live in a city and enjoy a lot of country air instead. So we suck in dangerous pesticides instead. Wherever you live, just do what you have to do. But keep in mind that there really is a lot of invisible and dangerous stuff in the atmosphere, and most of it lingers around roads, car parks, and petrol stations. Suck it and see. On the other hand, if the guy behind has been tailgating you and gets hung up at the lights inches from your exhaust pipe, and if you've got an oily old classic with a choke lever, you know what you have to do. It's murder, but you'll probably get away with it. Story snapshot: Motor restorer boss shares the business with employees. Craftsmen fabricators wanted by successful British firm. It employs 6. 0 staff, has been in business since 1. Jaguar restoration companies—if not the leading. It used to belong to founder, Peter Neumark. But now it belongs to the employees. Just like that. Neumark isn't at death's door (not as far as he knows). He hasn't fallen on his head. And none of his family have been kidnapped. It's simply that he believes in the business, and believes in his staff, and he wants to ensure the company continues at the forefront of the classic car world in the event of .. The John Lewis staff own the business and take a cut of the profits along with their wages. It's incentivising, it's morale boosting, and it works. Say Neumark, . We have just over 6. That's one for every 1. We believe these skills are very important and should be maintained. The highly skilled and dedicated workforce handle all aspects of restoration on vehicles including Jaguar, Aston Martin, Maserati, Humber and Sunbeam—plus one or two pet projects cooked up in the style of the classic road- burners of yesteryear. The firm is currently looking for fabricators with hands- on experience of creating panels from flat sheet and English- wheeling them right onto whatever piece of exotica is waiting on the shop floor. A relocation package is being offered along with an appropriate wage. Immediate start is welcomed. In these days when it sometimes seems hard to find anything in the UK worth putting a lump in your throat, this is a timely reminder that there are still British craftsmen quietly beavering away in workshops—a disproportionate number of which are still based in the Midlands, once the engineering heart of the nation. And now these fabricators, machinists, electricians, upholsterers and engine builders have become their own bosses, all 6. It's inspiring. Think Triumph or Norton Motorcycles will follow suit anytime soon? Story snapshot: First shots of the new 1. Hog engine. A 1. 14- cubic inch engine is also on offer. A week or so ago we carried a small news item regarding Harley- Davidson's new Milwaukee Eight engine, the latest . Well these are the first images officially released by the factory, and these shots turn (intelligent) rumour into fact. What makes this new engine special is that it carries the first factory built four- valves- per- cylinder heads for the air- cooled . Eight valves are ancient history for most of the world's motorcycle manufacturers (including H- D). But this is slightly different. It's the next evolutionary step in the Evolution/Twin Cam engine concept, and it suddenly makes all the other air- cooled V- twins in the Harley- Davidson range look a little dated. However, we should qualify the words . So it's more accurate to refer to them as air/oil- cooled. The engines will be used in Street Glides, Road Glides, the Electra Glide Ultra Classic, and Freewheeler trikes. The new basic . The immediate visual difference between this unit and existing big twin Evo/Twin Cam engines are those rocker boxes with the distinct bulges. But no doubt there will be numerous other distinguishing marks once H- D turn the lights back on. Fuel injection is a given, and each head features dual spark plugs for a more controlled burn. A single counter- balancer shaft is also fitted which, says the factory, . And the engines are said to run cooler and more efficiently (as you'd expect). Full liquid- cooling will be a feature on various other heavyweight tourers in the range. Details have also been released of a 1. Twin- Cooled variant with liquid- cooled cylinder heads and radiators.
