When you own a motorcycle, there is a great deal of maintenance that goes into upkeep. If you have owned a bike for any length of time, you've probably made performance and aesthetic upgrades from the stock factory version the bike once was. Use this log book to keep track of repairs (that broken mirror!), scheduled maintenance (next week's oil change) and that performance upgrade you are doing next month. Having a detailed log with scheduled work documented and the accompanying receipts will also come in handy for resale when it's time to move on to a different bike. You can hand off this Motorcycle Owner Bike Maintenance Log to the next owner and they can see a timeline of all work performed on their new ride. The back of each log entry includes space to staple receipts for the work completed for each service. In the back of the book is a spot to staple business cards for places you used whether to order parts or have work performed on your motorcycle.

After her adventures in Australia, Linda returns to England on hearing of her father's illness. Following his death she plans to ride through Africa and, in 1974, begins this journey, made at a time when few people venture into this continent, especially by motorcyle. Her 500cc BMW is already 17 years old and suffers many breakdowns during the trip. Sahara sand, Congo mud and a bout of malaria in Kenva all add to the thrill of this fifteen-month journey and, despite the many setbacks, Linda still keeps a smile on her face. The events and people met are described with honesty and humour and the rich tapestry of the political history of Africa, at that time, is woven into the story.

This book is about a specific place, but the story is universal. The lessons to be learned could apply to any city in America. Motorcycles were indicative of the technology and manufacturing revolution taking place which enabled the machine's own development. The speed with which improvements came and the enormous advances made in a short period of time, can only be compared to that of the computer revolution a century later. The connections between motorcycles, people, and the industrial and economic evolution of the 20th century holds lessons worth learning regardless of one's interest in motorcycles.This little book will acquaint the reader to people and events which may not be familiar. As well as mentioning some that might be surprisingly familiar. With over 190 illustrations, most from private collections, and many never seen publicly, there is sure to be something of interest. There is much more to be told. Much more to be learned. Much, much more that will never be known. This is a peek behind the curtain before what's still there disappears forever.

An intimate insight into a racing lifeMike Hailwood is a legend. Arguably the world's greatest ever motorcycle racer, he transcended eras and generations. His two-wheeled racing career began - and he initially made his name - aboard big, British single cylinder machines, then he took to Japanese and Italian four-stroke multis, before finishing on booming V-twins and two-strokes. He went from the black-and-white era, from one-colour dark leathers and pudding basin crash helmets, to the multicoloured, full-face helmeted, sponsorship driven days of the late 1970s. He found time to do some car racing too, recording a third at Le Mans in 1969 driving a Ford GT40, winning the 1972 Formula 2 European Championship and competing in 50 F1 Grands Prix, his debut in 1963, his last in 1974. Though the car stats are impressive, the motorcycle ones are astonishing - nine world championships, 76 GP wins, 14 TT victories, his TT victories separated by 18 years, the first 1961, the last 1979. On top of this he was awarded the MBE and then the George Medal for his bravery in rescuing fellow F1 driver Clay Regazzoni in 1973.It is almost impossible to comprehend the tragic irony that the life of this man, who had risked and survived so much, a hero to thousands for his derring-do, was curtailed as he drove the family car to collect a fish and chip takeaway. That his daughter Michelle died alongside him adds an extra layer to the tragedy. Mike's son David survived the accident and here has allowed access to the family's treasure trove of personal artefacts. These range from the mundane to the magnificent but together they tell the incredible story of Mike the Bike.
