Rex Bunn is a polymath, author, producer and inventor with motorcycle and manufacturing patents. Rex publishes articles in the USA, Europe and Australasia. The leading US subscription journal 'Motorcycle Consumer News' recently described him as "the world's foremost authority on crankcase breathing."His latest work 'Motorcycle Blow-by: A Shower of Sparks' is the abridged edition of his major work 'Motorcycle Crankcase Ventilation'. This new abridged edition meets rider needs for a simple guide to understanding oil leaks and other signs of poor crankcase ventilation, and to fitting a crankcase breather to fix the problems.His previous works include:* Classic Motorcycling, the revised, enlarged e-dition (2013)* Motorcycle Crankcase Ventilation (2013)* Kings Crew, film and ebook (2012)* Classic Motorcycling- A Guide for the 21st Century (2007)* Economic Change and the Health of the Community (1978)For many years, he has researched the mysteries of motorcycle crankcase ventilation and developed breather solutions.
