Book Description
328 pages, 186 black & white illustrations, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. This is a faithful reproduction of the 1962 Floyd Clymer U.S.A. Edition of the same title. While the primary focus of this publication utilizes 1960's and prior motorcycles as examples, the reader is reminded that engineering theory and the laws of physics do not change and as such, the information it contains is still relevant today. Consequently, this publication is indispensible to those either contemplating modification to a current model or the construction of a 'special' for any form of motorcycle competition. Predominantly a technical work, it is written in terms easily understood by the layman. While it includes geometry and math formulae the reader will be aptly rewarded if they take a moment to comprehend the significance of the examples. Consequently, 'Motorcycle Engineering' is considered by many knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiasts to be the best book ever written on how to construct, improve, modify and fine tune a motorcycle from the 'ground up'. It is our pleasure to offer this reprint to all motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.

Book Description
This, the fifth in a series aimed at covering the careers of the world's greatest motorcycle champions, highlights the man who was the first post-war superstar on two wheels, Geoff Duke. Geoff Duke: The Stylish Champion is the story of the man who set new standards and dominated the World Championship scene, first on British Nortons and later Italian Gileros during the first half of the 1950s, gaining six titles in all. Duke was the first man to win three 500cc world titles in succession, the first motorcyclist to win the coveted Sportsman of the Year award, and only the second motorcyclist to be honored with an OBE. Additionally, he set new standards of smoothness which were to remain unsurpassed to the present day and pioneered the use of a one-piece leather racing suit. Upon his retirement from racing at the end of 1959, he was to remain closely involved in the sport and at various times carried out the tasks of consultant, team manager, clerk of the course - he was a true ambassador. Geoff Duke: The Stylish Champion is lavishly illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs making it a must-read for any motorcycling fan.
