I don't support or condone the vandalism or any illegal activity relating to such, whether it be to private, commercial, or public property, I simply display graffiti as an art form.

Alexander Calder, born in 1898 in Lawnton, Pennsylvania, came from a family of artists: his father, Alexander Stirling Calder, and his grandfather, Alexander Milne Calder, were sculptors, and his mother, Nanette Lederer Calder, was a painter. He trained as an artist (Art Students League of New York, 1923–25) and engineer (Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey, 1915–19). Considered one of the foremost sculptors of the twentieth century, a “merry engineer, troublesome architect, and sculptor of the times,” according to Jacques Prévert, Calder left his mark in the public space with his “mobiles” and “stabiles.” The latter word, invented by Jean Arp, defines Calder’s monumental artworks composed of simple shapes anchored to the ground, which are found, among other places, in Berlin, Chicago, Jerusalem, Paris, Mexico City, and Seattle. Alexander Calder died in New York in 1976.

This is the back side of the same two disks that are in the other photo. Again, the original is on the left, and the exact replacement that I made is on the right. Note that the solder links that I was able to find don't have the non-rotation ears on them, so I used a slightly thicker phenolic base, cinched the rivets down tight enough so that they can't move, and soldered the links to the rivets to keep them from rotating around and shorting against each other.
In 1986, I invented a dice game based on a fictitious indoor horseshoes league. Eash team has its own disk. There are 92 teams, divided into 4 Divisions. Here we have Singapore, Thunder Bay, and Rio de Janeiro.

This is the factory Road Race Dual Disk Brake setup on my Kawasaki 750 . This was the first set available for a road bike and is thought to be the first double disk bike in my state and probably the midwest.
