I was born in the wrong era!

1948 was the year racing officially resumed in Daytona after the war. During the war, hard-core racers and servicemen on leave showed up for "Outlaw" non sanctioned races held on the beach.

Last week I showed you a wheel with zero bearing end-play.
Today I'm showing you why. RUST!
This is why I always inspect Timken style wheel bearings when changing tires or doing a service.

This bike ended up getting new front and rear USA MADE Timken wheel bearings.
