Discovering the Motorcycle is a full-throttle, never-before-completed history and cultural evaluation of motorcycling from 1867 to the present. Based on 49 years of the author’s personal experience, the book introduces readers to the vast world of motorcycling, its history, social impact, and how these machines are built and function. If you ride or have always wanted to ride and crave to know everything about the world of motorcycles, this 510-page book is now your bible.

Each individual chapter is devoted to a major aspect of motorcycling, ranging from historical discussions of the machines that led the way to our modern sportbikes, vintage classics, choppers and bobbers; off-road machines; touring rigs; and electric motorcycles. Chapters cover the history of motorcycle racing, bike events, museums, and clubs. The book honors motorcycling's great marques, with representation in each chapter.

Technical sections explore engineering matters, while the captions beneath more than 1,000 color photographs and illustrations add detail about the makes and their mechanical attributes. The chapter on the engine is unique in that it offers a glimpse into the 400-year evolution of the internal-combustion engine.

Many years of experience, research, and information-sharing between credible resources in the motorcycling world have resulted in an unprecedented biography of the sport.

Discovering the Motorcycle will make a perfect gift for those who dream of cruising through the wind on two (or three) wheels and for the casual weekend rider who wishes to know more about this amazing world.
