Hitchcocks Forum

yet another great read from the vast moulton library the title down the road "genuine mileage on classic motorcycles"steve wilson,s book is excellent acompanied with the mighty fine illustrations of nicholas ward ,who used to do illustrations in classic bike guide before louise limb ,i highly rate this book ,its great to read when you can,t get out riding and the tyre fitting in the shed can wait as the temperature is minus!!atb paul.

Hello Grunda2, Another great read for these cold days is. Motor Cycle Cavalcade by Ixon of THE MOTOR CYCLE.
Full history of the motorcyle from the beginning but wrote by a motor cyclist and many a laugh while reading.
Long out of print now, but I managed to get one via the internet. Well recomended.

Glad that the library continues to keep you interested Paul! I've got plenty more where that came from. A great read if you've got Kindle software (free download) is Daisy's Diaries by Graham Ham. It's available as an e-book from Amazon for about a fiver. The print version hasn't been available for years so this is the only way to read it. Only things to do when its snowing are:- a) plan rides, b) read Hitchcocks catalogue and plan to spend more money or c) read motorbike books. Add your choice from the following :- brew/pint/whisky/fag/pipe/buttie/pie/roaring fire to the equation for sheer winter pleasure! ATB John
