|  | The Motorcycle Edition October 2011 |
| Dear ASD, As summer slips into fall, it's important to get the bike out for as much riding time as possible before winter sets in. Whether your bike of choice is a Harley or a Honda ... or even if you prefer to tool around town on a Vespa ... Motorbooks library of motorcycle titles is sure to have just the book you need to make your riding experience (or motorcycle dreams) the best. Some of our latest motorcycle titles are highlighted below. When you're done with those, look through our library of more than 500 other motorcycle-related books for everything you've ever wanted to know about motorcycles. |
The Motorcycle as Art
|  Harley-Davidson is known for its powerful, well-engineered machinery. But design plays as big of a role in the brand's popularity, as any art connoisseur can attest.
Photographer David Blattel treats every photo shoot as a work of art. When his subjects are the works of art produced by the motorcycling maestros from Milwaukee, the results are doubly beautiful. Art of the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle pulls together the best of Blattel's Harley-Davidson portraiture--over 100 stunning machines--resulting in a breathtaking review of Harley-Davidson's greatest hits from the early 1900s to today. Harley-Davidson expert Dain Gingerelli puts each machine in historical and technical context with informed profiles. The result is a handsome, informative overview of Harley-Davidson's 100-plus years of style and innovation.

Take in the Views
|  If you're looking for spectacular fall scenery, there's probably no better place to find it than Colorado.
The Complete Guide to Motorcycling Colorado is a comprehensive new guidebook that contains colorful in-depth descriptions of 172 different rides that can be combined in a variety of ways to create the best trips for all riding styles and interests. Each ride is mapped individually, most are linked to web-based onboard videos on the author's website, and regional maps show how the rides can be combined to form journeys from half a day to several days in length, on paved roads or into the back country, or both.
Color photos for each ride introduce the incredible variety of terrain, and historical photos placed next to present day shots show how much (or how little) has changed in the intervening years. |
Build Your Own Bobber
|  Do you have grand plans for building your own custom bike over the winter? We can help. Kevin Baas begins the second edition of his How to Build an Old Skool Bobber book with a little history: the history of bike building at home, as seen through the eyes of a young man watching his Vietnam-Vet father build a chopper in 1970. Kevin lays out the basics of bike building, starting first with the ideal components: which engine, which frame, and the differences in the various models. Next, he covers things to watch out for when buying old parts, and how to fix the parts you do buy. Additional chapters describe brake systems, both early and late, tires and wheels, and frame geometry. Four complete start-to-finish bike assemblies round out this hands-on book. If you're just looking to repair or maintain a bike you already have, we've got dozens of maintenance titles covering all makes and models of bikes. Stop by today. |
