Inhaltsangabe

Motorcycles have come a long way since Gottleib Daimler bolted an internal engine to a wooden-wheeled velocipede. Among the thousands of great, near-great, and downright awful motorcycles built since then, many stand out as icons, or as engineering or cultural landmarks. Your opinions might differ, but you wouldn’t want to miss out on the bikes Everitt identifies as rides-of-a-lifetime. These 365 must-ride motorcycles range from classic gaslight-era bikes, racers, and modern sportbikes to oddities that have to be ridden to be understood (or believed). From the 2007 Ducati 999R to the 1909 Harley-Davidson Silent Grey Fellow, 365 Motorcycles You Must Ride promises hours of entertainment (and a thrilling to-do list) for any motorcycle enthusiast.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Since the advent of the first motorized two-wheelers, the motorcycle has exerted a powerful attraction for those of us with fifty-weight motor oil coursing through our veins. We might own one or two motorcycles (or maybe four or five), but we’re constantly casting longing glances at a whole lot of bikes not in our garages. Whether big or small, young or old, male or female, polka-dotted or striped, we all have one thing in common—we love motorcycles. You might even say we lust after them.

365 Motorcycles You Must Ride might not take the place of a ride on your favorite bike, but it will satiate your moto-lust when you can’t get out for a ride. On these pages you’ll find a celebration of the motorcycle in all its two-wheeled glory, from Gottlieb Daimler’s original wooden bone-shaker to the latest and greatest technological marvel from the Land of the Rising Sun and the best, worst, and most unusual bikes in between.
