 Photographer’s Notes
I went to the motorcycle show today in Seattle and got a few shots. When I came out, it was snowing hard. Guess summer’s over.
At the show, there were a number of engines which had been opened up so you could see the “fine quality engineering” inside. Normally the internals are unseen, but we got to see them. It’s kind of fun to see where your power’s coming from.
This one made me smile. Maybe you’ll like it.

I've heard of a cracked head before but this is a bit much. Great details and it is always good to see that Shell gas keeps the gunk out of your engine.
