favourite biking books?

[Bear]

Well, looks like winters finally here, so i'm snuggling in and re-reading some old faves, wondering if anyone had any recommendations. My favourites are Hunter Thompson's Hells Angels, Long way round, Jupiters Travels, and Sonny Bargers autobiog.

Anyone care to add to the list?

Regeneration is hardly a bike book though, is it?
Even if it is a superb book. :? They called it Passchendaele by Lyn Macdonald is superb also
but does not contain many references to GSXRs. :wink:

Anyhoo, some of the above and:

Desert Biking - Chris Scott
Whatever Happened to the British Motorcycle Industry? - Bert Hopwood

Plenty more, I'll think about it.

[SVeeedy Gonzales]

:oops: My first post was a biking book and there was one biking book in my list :lol:

I've just ordered "One Good Run - The Legend of Burt Munro" off Amazon.

[Demonz]

Motorcycle Diaries - just another bike book. Wouldnt rate it as a favourite as is a tough (non-flowing) read.

[netsurfer]

"Race to Dakar" by Charley Boorman isn't too bad.. worth a read.

It passed the time for me while travelling recently, gripping stuff!

Hizzy's autobiography is my favourite bike book so far. Well worth a read IMHO. :thumbsup:

[Peter Henry]

Road Racing For Beginners by George Formby. :wink:

[Heed]

Most of Sonny Bargers books are good.

[STRAMASHER]

A Perfect Vehicle - Melissa Holbrok Pierson

8) 8) 8) 8)

Road Racing For Beginners by George Formby. :wink:

I particularly enjoyed the chapter on brake setup :wink:

[Peter Henry]

Tricky...I am surprised the section about suspension settings did not catch yer eye? After all such tremendous handling was displayed when George was filmed tackling no less than the IOM TT! :lol:
