This is a very different book from any other I have come across. It offers an honest, entertaining and refreshing insight into the world of classic motorcycling. It is written by Rex Bunn of Australia so the book has a truly international feel, but still certainly retained its relevance to biking here in the UK. I’m sure readers in other countries would also feel the same.

Classic Motorcycling is all about, choosing, buying, riding and maintaining classic motorcycles. It is packed with all sorts of advice, handy hints and amusing anecdotes that are good not only for novices, but also for more experienced owners. I certainly enjoyed the book very much and put one of Rex’s handy hints straight into practice (how to check wheel alignment without the use of a miraculously straight piece of wood!).

 

 

There is also a very interesting piece of analysis on the recent increase in classic prices and how this may (or may not!) continue for your classic.

A very interesting and readable book!
