i was thinking that i have read some very fine books on the subject of biking over the years and was wondering if anyone had any favorite books to recommend.
in no particular order of preference
hells angels by hunter s thompson
zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance by robert m persig
freewheeling frank cant remember who by
jupiters travels cant remember his name either
fogg on the road by jim fogg
mad dogs christmas by jim fogg
bikers. birth of a modern day outlaw by maz harris
am sure there are many more too but i cant remember the names. could do with a few suggestions tho cos its winter and i could do with something to while away the odd hour or two.

ive read and thouroughly enjoyed some of the autobigraphies. Steve Hislop was exceptionally good and the Colin Edwards book is ok, Neil Hodgson back on track is an ok read as well and if you go onto Ebay i'm sure you can find yourself some cheaper copies.

You should have bought a Yamaha or a Kwak Scunj ;-)
Or a Suzuki, come to that.
I reckon peeps will have calmed down in about ten years !
