Steve Wilson's long-running "Down the Road Apiece" column in Classic Bike Guide is a favorite among enthusiasts. This witty and delightful volume presents two dozen of Wilson's very best articles, highlighted by Nick Ward's meticulously detailed drawings. Read about the author's own journeys to Portugal, to the Shetlands, and from Sweden to Holland, plus the inside story of the boom, decline, and fall of the British motorcycle industry. A nostalgic treat for enthusiasts of classic motorcycling.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Excellent collection of articles..........2004-07-20

If you are over fifty and love classic motorcycles, don't give this book a miss. The drawings by Nick Ward, although comical, are in a class of their own. The attention to detail comes only from exceptionally talented artists.

The writer has researched this subject so thoroughly, one gets a first hand straight and direct insight into the just how these machines came to be.

If you are lucky enough to own a classic, you will know it even better having read this book.

Excellent articles on the Ace Cafe in London and the history of Plumstead's AMC (Matchless, AJS, Norton...) factory and it's demise.
