Description
IT'S A LIFETIME COMMITMENT. THE CHASE NEVER STOPS.' Motorbikes inspire passion, pride and loyalty in equal measure. And, like classic cars, old bikes have great stories to tell. Be they hunters or collectors, racers or rally riders, electricians or plain enthusiasts, bike owners love sharing the joys - and the drawbacks - of restoring and riding machines from a bygone era. In Bike, you'll find twenty-four personal tales of desire and determination, camaraderie and competition. The superb colour photography highlights the beauty, character and quirks of a remarkable range of bikes, including the world's last remaining Mostyn, gleaming Harleys, a shedful of Indians, and, of course, a chopper or two. There's something about two-wheeled machines that makes even grown men and women go weak at the knees. When you read this book, you'll understand why.
