"It has been said, with truth, that an inherent love of things
mechanical finds a more or less definitive place in the character
of every Englishman..." So begins The MotorCyclist's Handbook, a
wonderful text from 1911 that describes in detail the operation of
early motorcycles. Created by Charles S. Lake columnist for The
Model Engineer magazine, the book was an instant classic. Today it
is just as readable and in some fashion in even more enjoyable.
Lavishly illustrated, the book includes chapters on engines,
including two-stroke and four cylinder, compression, carburetor,
ignition, transmission, lubrication, accessories, and so on. Some
of the bikes featured include the Rudge, Triumph, Hudson, Indian,
Scott, and others, as well as early automobiles. It's a delightful
trip back in time for any biker - from the collector to the weekend
rider. This easy-to-read reprint of this exceptionally rare book is
presented in 8x10 format, sightly larger than the original. Care
has been taken to preserve the integrity of the text.
