Default Recommended Motorcycle book reading
Any recomentations on cold winter book reading? I've read quite a few motorcycle books over the years but wondering what others have read that keeps the blues away. BTW a book thats been out there for a few years but I would recommend is Jim Rogers' book Investment Biker. Great read but dated.

I'm reading an awesome Harley history book called: THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE. It is a large format pictorial history book. Funny thing is that it is published by Crestline but I can't find it anywhere on the web. Even is an ISBN search. Nothing. 978-0-7603-3379-2

Friend bought it for me after I fixed their car.

It sure is nice to learn more about the history. I'm up to the Sportster in 1957.
