Flying Floyd: The Motorcycling Life of Floyd Emde

This is Don Emde’s biography of the legendary motorcycle racing and business career of his father, Floyd Emde. Those familiar with the phrase “Harley and Indian Wars” of the 1940s’ hand-shift era will enjoy the week-to-week coverage of someone who was there making it happen and providing his personal written notes after every race, while Don’s mother Florence was keeping hand-written results in the souvenir programs.

Flying Floyd: The Motorcycling Life of Floyd Emde is a fully illustrated, 420-page hardbound book produced in the same dimensions, style and format of Don’s award-winning book, The Speed Kings. Four-color sepia tone throughout and printed right here in the United States of America!

Coverage includes:

• Floyd Emde's forty years as a pro racer, dealership owner, and race bike builder
• Floyd and Florence's personal race notes, original programs and other period materials
• 1,000+ images taken by Bob Magill, Shorty Campbell and other top photographers
