{PRETITLE} Motorcycle: The Definitive Visual History {POSTTITLE}
This is a big coffee table book that also includes two frameable prints. The ones included in my book were the Indian 101 Scout 1928 and the Harley Davidson Electra Glide 1965.By wogan
The book itself is divided into; before 1920, the 1920's, 30's, 40', 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, from 2000 and the engine. There is a glossary and an index.
There are many large close- up pictures all in colour and pages with smaller pictures of examples of the motorcycles, each giving the country of origin, engine, top speed and a brief description. Within the chapters are articles covering almost all aspects of motorcycles' history. Examples are; the Enfield story, Indian Scout, reliable transportation, scooters, roadburners, off the highway, information on motorcycles used in the wars. The chapter on the engine has many close-ups and diagrams explaining how everything works.
Whether you are a motorcycle aficionado or just enjoy learning about the diversity of the motorcycle and its history this is a book that would assist you in learning much about it.
TOP 100 REVIEWER
I got this book for my girlfriend's father for Christmas. He's got a collection of several dozen bikes, goes to auctions all around the country, takes Harley road trips...He LOVED this book. This is a book for a guy who knows his ****. For someone who can seamlessly talk about early Indians and current Ducatis. Plus, it's loaded with pictures and there are a couple of cool inserts in the back of the book. All in all...very happy with it.By just_me
