favourite biking books?
 
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?

A book I quite enjoyed with a nod to biking culture was Billy Morgan by Joolz Denby.

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.
