The Art of BMW: 90 Years of Motorcycle Excellence
The Art of BMW: 90 Years of Motorcycle Excellence presents stunning studio portraiture of the rolling sculpture that BMW has been creating for the past 90 years. Each bike portrait is accompanied by a concise, authoritative profile of the machine. All the classic bikes are here--pre-World War II BMWs like the R5 that defined performance in that era; the military R12 that carried the Wehrmacht as it blitzkrieged its way across Europe; the R75M that accompanied Rommel's Panzers in North Africa; the Earles-forked R69S that offered the perfect platform for mounting a Steib sidecar; the R90S cafe racer; the K1 "flying brick"; and the GS (Gelande Sport) series that launched a dual-sport revolution. All the bike families are covered--the side-valve machines from the early years, the early overhead-valve performance bikes, the postwar Airheads and Oilheads, the four-cylinder and six-cylinder touring bikes, the early pushrod singles, the modern overhead-cam singles, the latest parallel twins, and inline-four cylinder sport bikes. From the first model, the R32 that launched BMW's motorcycle dynasty, to the latest (and fastest) model, the World Super Bike dominating S1000RR, this book captures nearly a century of motorcycling excellence.

The Biker Trials: Bringing Down the Hells Angels
The Quebec-chartered “Nomad” chapter of the Hells Angels had two specific goals: to monopolize the Quebec drug trade; and to expand that trade across other parts of Canada. Their war against rival dealer gangs escalated to a boiling point, taking the lives of dozens of gangsters and innocent people as it played itself out openly on Montreal’s streets. Little did the Nomads know that at the height of achieving their goals, they would also be months away from a lengthy police investigation to shut them down. The trials that followed revealed seven years of conflict and murder initiated by Maurice “Mom” Boucher, the man who was at the epicentre of this war. One criminal trial in particular turned out to be one of the longest in Canadian history. It meant convincing a jury to accept the notion that a biker gang works on the same principle as a pirate ship — even the cook knows what their common goal is. The “biker trials” brought out informants on both sides of the conflict, who, for a variety of reasons had turned on the gangs they had previously sworn loyalty to. Their testimonies revealed the arrogance of the Nomads in their pursuit of a monopoly over Quebec’s illegal drug trade. Now, Cherry reveals the inside story of the biker culture and the biker trials.

The Constant Search: Collecting Motoring & Motorcycling Books
At one time or another, virtually every aspct of motoring and motorcycling has been chronicled in writing, yet surprisingly it has never been any overall survey of what is available, let alone any attempt to assess the scarcity of individual titles. In consequence, this is the first book of its kind. The Author, a collector of motoring literature for more than 50 years, and a book dealer since WWII, first envisaged a book of this nature in the early fifties. With a work such as this in mind, he commenced the task of collecting and collating data, and arranging its subdivision into some 40 different categories of books, magazines, Club journals and the like, covering motoring and motorcycling titles.
The contents are far-ranging, with 24 chapters on the recognised "periods" of the older motor vehicles, the technique of book and catalogue collecting, lists of specialist dealers, a guide to this book itself, and then those on technical, road, motor-racing, individual cars, autobiographies and biographies, etc., marque and other histories, rally and kindred books, non-technical titles, including children's motor books, those on taxies, buses, models, mascots and badges, and so on, not forgetting travel, each of these chapters being divided into sections where necessary.
Even cycling is included and the lists are interesting and useful, and Club and other organisational addresses are also provided. There are illustrations, some in colour, of the covers of typical books and magazines.

The Fastest Motorcycles on Earth: The History of Land Speed Record Motorcycles
This new book traces man's ongoing attempts to build the fastest motorcycle on earth. From the very beginning, men and machines have been pitting themselves against the forces of nature to lay claim to the elusive title, on country roads, and later on the beaches at Daytona. In modern times, these pioneers have flocked to vast, dry lake beds in the deserts to methodically probe the limits of power, aerodynamics, mechanical reliability, and traction, ever pushing upward the absolute maximum speed at which a motorcycle can operate.
Come along as Tom Murphy leads a historic tour of this exotic sport, introducing us to Denis Manning, Don Vesco, George Smith, Leo Payne, and many others who built or drove record bikes. Murphy takes us to the autobahns of Germany, El Mirage Dry Lake in southern California, Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, and Lake Gairdner in Australia, where the vast empty spaces make natural test beds for today's high-speed runs. He shows us the innovative hardware conjured up by both backyard mechanics and heavily funded factory teams. And, he describes the number one enemy of speed--air drag--as well as how speed-hungry racers have dealt with it over the years. He even shows how much it costs to field a competitive machine--and it ain't cheap.
It's all here, with dozens of rare archive pictures showing the people and machines that have set the world records and made history along the way.

The Illustrated History of Norton Motorcycles
Norton – a name to conjure with from their earliest days, a firm that dominated the racing world for many years, became famous for their singles and then renowned for twins.
They were there at the dawn of motorcycles, when founder Pa Norton ran his firm to his high and honest ideals. A man of vision who foretold much that came later, his machines reflected his outlook on life, each with its upright single cylinder.
The Big 4, 16H, Brooklands Special formed the base, later came the overhead valve Model 18 and then the camshaft models, the International leading on to the Manx that was the backbone of racing for decades.
Postwar, the singles were joined by twins; the Dominator, the Featherbed, and later the Atlas which led to the Commando with its unique Isolastic frame system. Finally came the rotary engines and the Commanders.
Here, their story is presented in words and pictures, many in full colour, to tell the tale of a marque that was always famous and that remains one of the most popular on today’s classic bike scene.
The Indian 1901-1978: The History of a Classic American Motorcycle
Check out this in depth history and guide to one of Americas oldest and most popular motorcycle manufactuer!
As the dominant manufacturer for the first two decades of this century, the Indian Motorcycle Company is a staple in the history of American motorcycling. Because of this, Springfield, Massachusetts was at the hub of the international motorcycle scene. Between 1900 and 1917, when the United States entered World War I, about 150 domestic motorcycle companies came and went. Little more than a dozen remained in business following the war, and after the great depression of the 1930s only two American manufacturers had survived Indian and Harley-Davidson.
This definitive chronicle of America's first motorcycle is an essential for any cycle aficionado. It features concise hardware histories of every model produced by the Indian Motorcycle Company from 1901 to the mid-1950s, when the company ceased production. Also included, is a unique color directory of the great motorcycles built by the celebrated Indian Motorcycle Company. Arranged chronologically, this superb reference work features special commissioned color photographs of all the landmark models that you won't want to miss!
