Not MY bike, but I came across this on The Vintagent http://thevintagent.blogspot.co.nz/2015/12/motorcycle-book-of-year-2015.html and thought that it might be interesting to link here.

Niels is a freelance CAD-engineer, and while taking his uncle's Manx to bits which he inherited, he thought it 'a good training exercise' to render every single part of the Manx in the SolidWorks program, so the bike could be dis/reassembled virtually while the same was happening in his living room. And then he wrote a book about it.

'The Book About My Bike, C11M14566'
 
My copy is due to arrive this week, can add a few comments here when it does.
Neils was very good to deal with.
 
The book arrived and is extremely well presented.
Hard cover book with a hard sleeve.
Not cheap but if this sort of thing is of interest then it would be hard to beat.
I did notice somewhere the George Cohen had suggested a couple of minor technical corrections, which i will note in mine.
 
It was on Neils facebook page, snip below.

Small mistakes ?
George didn't spell Niels' name......

But we diverge, book looks to be a labour of love if ever there was one.
