As mentioned in a previous eMail, photography was tough in the attic space used to store several hundred bikes, and the collection can be better seen on the Embacher website and in his beautiful book "Smart Moves". In order, the bikes we photographed are: Sabliere TT, Flying Gate, Caminargent, Herse, Moulton, Puch, Zoombike, Skoot (Embacher's personal favorite, I thought), paratroop bike, C4, Cesare M, and the Kirk Precision. To photograph a bike it first had to be removed from its rack-a tedious process-so that I did not want to cause Mike Embacher to remove more than a few bikes. Of course much of this will not please all CR members, as most of these bikes are so far off-topic as to be in another galaxy. Therefore, I thank Dale for allowing me to post these "reports" at all. But I have thought long and hard about this collection and I now realize there is a lot more here than I first realized. George
