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.

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. |
