RE: Recommended Motorcycle book reading
Most of the great ones already mentioned here... enjoyed Barger's book, Thompson's was fine and so was "Zen and the art...". Brock Yates also wrote a good one called "Outlaw Machine".
My favorite of all time though is "Badass, The Harley Davidson Experience", mainly because I lived it and wrote it. It's packed with humor, road trips, bike tips and a fanatic's perspective on Harleys and life.Its hand bound in heavy duty leather just like your chaps.

Like to look at those coffee table type of books with lots of pictures. A lot of good HD history books that is what I would recommend. Also the 3 manuels,thats some good reading. All other books remind me of work,school, and im dislexic so I get a headache[:@]
