More About This Book

Overview

Every motorcyclist dreams of hearing the magic phrase: “You know, I know where there’s this old bike that’s been sitting at the back of this garage for years. . . .” With those momentous words the hunt begins. Too often the machine revealed is a worthless Hondazukimaha pile of hopeless oxidation, but sometimes, just sometimes, it’s a collector’s dream: a genuine classic motorcycle.

The Vincent in the Barn offers 40 stories of motorcycle-hunting dreams come true. From Ducatis in basements to Vincents piled in sheds, from Harleys in barns to Brit bikes moldering behind urban garages, these are the stories that fuel every motorcyclist’s moto-fantasies.

    Disappointing

    A collection of stories written by different people. Different levels of ability. Some great, so not so good.
