Book Description
The appearance of Honda's CBR900 in 1992 rendered the then-current crop of superbikes obsolete, thanks to its potent and unbeatable mix of light weight and raw power. This unique volume takes you full circle, from previously unpublished preliminary design sketches, to an in-depth technical look at what makes the 'Blade' so special, to what a stunned press thought of its awesome mix of handling and power, up through the Fireblade's racing successes. Contains in-depth interviews with the men who made the 'Blade' happen, what to look for when buying a used machine, and how to tune it for increased performance.

As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning

Pages : 218

Book Description
"I was nineteen years old, still soft at the edges, but with a confident belief in good fortune. I carried a small rolled-up tent, a violin in a blanket, a change of clothes, a tin of treacle biscuits, and some cheese. I was excited, vain-glorious, knowing I had far to go; but not, as yet, how far." Despite this romantic and optimistic opening, what Lee finds is the most primitive and feudal country in Europe, a peninsula untouched by the modern world, a land of labor without dignity, a church devoid of compassion, and a country ripe for revolutionary change.
