'The frisky Oss appeared - the dancers and drummers in a kind of
shamanic trance (induced by a day of drumming, dancing and beer).
They were wilder than ever; the atmosphere was positively
Bacchanalian and I felt we had all become lost in a kind of
collective folk consciousness.' On two wheels across Britain 'Bard
on a Bike' Kevan Manwaring searches out the places and people who
mark the seasons and cycles in their own special way - in
ceremonies and festivals both private and public, large and
intimate, ancient and modern. Along the way, he experiences and
relates moments of sacred time found in the unlikeliest of places
and circumstances, showing how it is a state of mind that can be
experienced not only at sacred sites, but in the everyday. A
collection of reflections about being fully alive in the Twenty
First century, as much a useful guide for the curious, Turning the
Wheel is a wise and witty account of a leather-clad time-traveller.
..".I know the risks, and moderate them when I can, but still I
press on, even into adversity. There are very few things I fear,
and even this situation was not one of them.
But still...every now and then...just once and a while...
I wonder...I question...I seek to understand why...
Beaten to the edge of rationality, stunned beyond the capability
of comprehension, between racking sobs and painful gasps for breath
I screamed into the chaos,
'What in the bloody hell am I doing out here?'
I was not really expecting an answer..."
Through a series of adventures told with humor and passion,

ventured before. Take a wild ride into the magical worlds along the
highways of America and a passionate tour through the mysterious
soul of an avid motorcycle rider. Experience what one reader calls,
"A little bit of Jung, a little bit of Freud, and a little bit of
rock and roll." (Doc D)

With stunning bikes, technical advancements and pivotal milestones,
the 1980s was a vibrant period for motorcycling in Britain.
Accelerating sales saw the decade begin with the old, twin-shock
Universal Japanese Motorcycles and end with race replicas,
fully-faired tourers and screaming strokers. Bike sport grew and
had a bigger influence on what was being ridden on the road.
Learners became restricted to 125s, and the Paris-Dakar Rally
spawned a new class of road-going replicas such as the Africa Twin,
the precursors of today's popular adventure bikes. And on the
street, hooligan 'LC Johnnys' evolved into Simpson Bandit-wearing
'streetfighters' and day-glo-bedecked road racers on GSX-Rs. Having
ridden and written about virtually every new bike since the 1970s,
Phil West looks back at fifty motorcycles that were all hugely
loved and lusted over during the decade that inspired a generation
of bikers.

Motorcycle Engineering is a primer and technical introduction for
anyone interested in motorcycles, motorcycling, and the motorcycle
industry. It provides insight into how motorcycles are made and
operated. Motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters are important factors
in world transport, and they are playing an increasingly important
role in transport policy as we move towards greater environmental
awareness. Motorcycles and scooters give freedom of personal
transport that enable large commuter distances to be covered
quickly and easily. Their small footprint offers easy storage as
only minimal space is required. To celebrate the importance of
motorcycles on the world stage, a brief history is included with a
detailed timeline detailing the development of the motorcycle
alongside major world events. Written in an accessible fashion, no
previous knowledge of engineering or technology is required, as all
technical terms are readily explained and a glossary and
abbreviation list is included. Whether you are an enthusiast,
racer, student, or industry professional, you will surely find this
an enjoyable read and a handy reference book on your shelf.
