Motorcycling Books and where to find them.

Incidentally, I must go there and suss out the new biography on Barry Sheene. I dropped some very subtle (read: brick) hints to Hamish for my birthday but looks like I've got to buy it myself.

If Hamish doesn't get your hints (yeah right) I've got a copy you can read.

Matt - I ordered my copy from Capital Books on Friday - they're a week or two away apparently - where did you get yours from? I like books so I'm happy to buy one thanks.

It might have been a brick to you, but the powers of the male species often transmogrify these things into mozzies as they get closer to the individual.... You'll have to get a lot bigger than a brick to have any effect.
The strength of this power seems to vary among members of the species, but from this evidence, Hamish seems to be about normal....

Try your local library they usually have a good selection of books on bikes if not you can request a certain book for them to get in. I like to have a good look through a book before I put up some of my hard earned cash.

can't actually remember, saw it cheap somewhere so just picked it up. Probably take me a few years to get around and actually read it.

"Zen and the Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance" is about a lot of things but not much about motorcycle maintenance. It's an OK read, though

PT: I wrote down the title, the author, and the price, and gave it to him on a piece of paper saying "if anyone asks you what I want for my birthday, I'd really like this book".

However I don't mind that he didn't buy it for me as he does other things for me - like spending a couple of hours in the gragre (did I spell that right?) in the middle of the freezing frosty night fitting my duel feed Scottoiler to the new bike.

Matt: I'm wondering if you've got a different book to the one that's just come out - I might have a squizz at it some time.

Got one called "The Art & Science of Motorcycle Racing" by I think Peter Clifford and Kenny Roberts, getting a bit old now, but always had some good info in it, actually must dig it out for another browse
