Presenting 17 international customisers and their interpretations
of the BMW R nineT, Soul Fuel reveals a new approach to
customising. A custom bike is, above all: unique. The subculture of
the custom bike community and its trends are of major importance,
not only for the motorcycle's hardware, but also for the software
associated with the lifestyle. Customisers deliberately reject a
digitised and perfected world with something handmade and raw - a
kick start for the imagination of all free spirits. With the market
launch of the BMW R nineT in 2013, the unique Soul Fuel project
started in earnest. Over the course of the nascent cooperation, the
first selected customizers received an R nineT, which they were
able to remodel and modify pursuant to their own vision. To date,
17 customisers have created fascinating customisations of the R
nineT through Soul Fuel. Five additional projects are to follow in
2018. Introducing the bikes completed to date, the book Soul Fuel
is an homage to the "customising attitude" towards life. When we
take a look into the workshops of the most innovative customisers,
we can virtually smell and hear the welding equipment. We
experience the creative process that emerges from custom bikes made
on the basis of the R nineT, up close and personal - like when
musicians cover their favourite song, and in doing so, place their
own distinctive stamp upon it. With full passion and dedication,
Blitz Motorcycles, 46 Works, El Solitario, and others create
exceptional interpretations of an exceptional machine. As unique
and customised as the machines it presents, Soul Fuel boasts
incredible graphics, layout, and fascinating portraits of the
customisers in one innovative, impressively- designed book. Text in
English and German.
With fuel costs and parking charges forever rising, it's no wonder
consumers are turning towards cheaper forms of travel. Enter the
twist-and-go scooter! Cheap to run, fun to ride, and ideal for
those little 'pop to the shop' trips, and also for the 16-year-old
getting to school. Unfortunately, there is a downside - the cost of
servicing and maintaining your machine. It costs a garage the same
to service your scooter as it does a 1000cc motorcycle, because
it's charged on the time taken, plus the parts required. Here's
where this invaluable book can help, by showing you how to do basic
servicing and maintenance. Not only will you have the satisfaction
of doing otherwise-expensive jobs yourself, you will also have
learnt something along the way - and recouped the cost of this book
(and a bit more besides) with your first oil change.

Harley-Davidson: words that evoke the open American road and the
"Made in America" tradition like no others. The sweeping chopper
handlebars, the distinctive throaty low-speed rumble of the engine
and the unmistakable logo are recognized the world over. This book
expertly ties together the mechanical evolution of Harley's engines
- from the earliest motorized pedal bicycles to the iconic
heavyweight twin-cylinder V-engines we know and love today - and
the social history of the brand's phenomenal rise in the twentieth
century, as innovative survivor of the Great Depression, supplier
of the military during both World Wars and enduring symbol of
freedom and rebellion. It is fully illustrated with pictures of the
bikes and those who have ridden them as well as examples of
Harley-Davidson's distinctive design aesthetic in advertising and
collectibles.

Graham Jarvis has been at the peak of off-road motorcycling for the
best part of twenty-five years and has won the fabled and
ridiculously perilous Erzberg Rodeo a record-equalling five times.
Since moving into the high-octane world of Hard Enduro in 2011,
Graham has won its five major races - the Erzberg Rodeo, the Red
Bull Sea to Sky, the Red Bull Romaniacs, the Tough One and Hell's
Gate - no fewer than twenty-six times. It has made him one of
motorsport's most successful riders. In CONQUERING THE IRON GIANT,
Graham takes us from his early years in Canterbury, where he
started out on an old BMX bike that his dad had rescued from the
tip, to competing against up to 1,800 riders in races where dozens
are often airlifted to hospital, and only three or four finish . .
. with Graham usually at the head of the field.

I can't think of anywhere I'd less like to be than in a car. When
you're driving a car, you're not taking part, you're a spectator.
You're in a can; if it's cold you turn up the heating, if you're
hungry you have a wine gum. You might be looking at what's going
on, but you're definitely not a part of it. A BIKER'S LIFE is the
dramatic, humorous and candid memoir of one of the most
recognisable names in motorcycling. Henry Cole's passion for
motorbikes began when, at the age of eight, he was first introduced
to a 'man cave'. His great-uncle Redbeard's corrugated iron shed
was 'stuffed to the gills with old motorbikes' which Henry helped
rebuild and ride. Since then, Henry's life can be charted through
the bikes and journeys he has been on - from a stifling
public-school education, via many years battling addiction, to the
big-sky iconic routes Henry has ridden for over twenty series as
presenter of numerous TV shows. This book reminds millions of
motorcyclists why their bike gives them the freedom to be exactly
who they want to be: to say 'Fuck you, fuck the world, I'm doing my
thing.' When you ride a motorbike you become part of a worldwide
community of kindred spirits - those of us who will not be pacified
by driving a car, but instead live for adventure, escape and the
sheer thrill of the throttle.
When Canadian brothers Colin and Ryan Pyle finished their
record-breaking motorcycle adventure around China in 2010, they
promised themselves that it would be their last such venture. Of
course, they were wrong. Back in the saddle again, Colin and Ryan
have set out to tackle the diverse country of India, and they had
no idea what to expect! Whether it was monsoon rains, crashes in
Mumbai, the claustrophobic roads of Kerla or even a brutal
paragliding landing in Manali; nothing could stop these two
adventurers as they triumphantly completed a 54 day -- 14,000 km --
motorcycle circumnavigation of India. In an Indian expedition of
unforeseen extremes, Colin and Ryan battled the Rohtang Pass in a
rainstorm, made a pilgrimage to the most visited holy site on earth
in Amritsar; they also jumped off a perfectly good mountain and
learned how to make the perfect cup of Indian tea in Darjeeling. If
that seems like a lot, all of this was done while traversing over
isolated mountain passes, blazing a trail through the roasting hot
deserts and battling the insane traffic of Mumbai, Delhi and
Kolkata. In this book Colin and Ryan take us with them as they make
their way through the remarkable and stunning landscapes of India.
In the end, the brothers had learned what it takes to succeed as a
team as they had circumnavigated a billion people, pushed
themselves to new limits, and shared in an adventure that most of
us will only ever dream of.
Featuring over 250 archival and new photos, detailed technical
data, and first-person stories from passionate Honda
mini-motorcycle devotees, this nostalgic and fun compendium
presents the complete model history of Honda's legendary little
motorbikes and discusses the unique culture surrounding them. These
lightweight mini motorcycles trace their origin back to renowned
Japanese engineer Soichiro Honda, who gleaned as much information
as possible from European manufacturers before setting out to
create something entirely new. Honda's original model, the C 100
Super Cub, became a global smash hit. Since its release in 1958,
more than 100 million Honda Super Cub mini motorcycles have been
produced, and it has become the bestselling motorised vehicle in
history. Over the years, the Honda company continued to refine and
develop its winning formula, following up with additional models,
including the Monkey and the Dax. Inexpensive, stylish, and highly
customizable, these tiny machines muscled their way into the
world's consciousness, appealing to a variety of people -- young
and old, motorcycle enthusiasts and novices alike -- who valued
them for their sophisticated technology and high-quality
construction and welcomed them into their lives for a wide range of
purposes: transportation, sport, or just plain fun. So, hop on and
enjoy a ride into the world of Honda's iconic mini motorcycles!

Motor trikes have been around since the dawn of motoring, with many
starting out as utility vehicles or prototypes of cars. But trikes
haven't died out or become mere relics of motoring history -
companies all over the world still produce them today, and many
will convert a motorcycle into a trike. Trikes are not only huge
fun, but can also be a lifestyle choice. They are as diverse as the
people who ride them, and this book illustrates the vast range of
machines available. The reader will discover a plethora of trike
designs and layouts from the late 19th century to the present day.
Some influential designs include Piaggio's three wheeled vehicles,
the Morgan three wheeler, and the Harley-Davidson Servicar. This
book also features the products of companies that convert
motorcycles into trikes, and shows some mass-produced examples that
you can buy today. Then there are the weird and wonderful machines
built by individual enthusiasts - a testament to their engineering
skills and true eccentricity...
