John Bradley - The Racing Motorcycle - A Technical Guide for Constructors V2

[chrisc]

Hey

I'm trying to find the second volume to John Bradley's book - The Racing Motorcycle - A Technical Guide for Constructors.

I have the first volume and it's really awesome. I want to get the second volume and have searched the interest as best I could with no luck. Apparently the second volume is out of print.

If anyone has a copy I can view, borrow, scan, or knows where I can buy a copy please contact me!

Thanks

Same question came up on an American forum. Plenty of places still showing it for sale but no one actually stocks it....Apparently there will be a reprint but no idea when.

I know of 2 copies in ChCh - one of them mine....but that doesn't help you, sorry.

there is a couple of bradley vol 2 available 2nd hand at more than the list price on the net.
Funny thing was Grumph mentioned the book the other day.

Always wanted to have a gander at this one too.

Oh maaaaann, Grumph I'm so envious.

Husa, I have tried their website, and multiple suppliers with nothing. My old man tried over a year ago with no luck.

"Hello Chris,
Sorry, no Vol 2's available at present and I can't say when. With the printers going bust we had no warning and had got started on other things we cannot put aside until they are finished.
Regards"

I'm really keen to read volume two because it's about the construction process, although the "how to make your car handle" looks very interesting!

As much as I've seen is the sample pages from it on the broadlands website:

seems a bit pricey though.

Hahaha yeah I saw that, probably not worth it...

Grumph, any thought on the second volume? Good?
