The Knucklehead History
A historical tale (from the factory workmans' point of view) explaining the deco-design of the first 61 cu.in. Knucklehead motor. In my opinion, Mr. Wagners best work. If you own an original; or you're building a V-Twin (Tedd Cycle,Inc.) Replica Knuckle, you will need this book for stoke. A chronicle of club-life in Wisconsin, before the 2nd World War, there are family names repeated in this text (i.e; Kokesh; Knuth; Deckert; Ulicki; Beguhl; and Matheus) connected with Harley-Davidson, that you still hear about today. An insight as to the working conditions at the factory (in the best of times) can be read in this excerpt: "The founders had divided their responsibilities early and stuck with them. They demanded top quality work and usually got it. They desired to build things correctly-they only accepted what they knew was right. For that reason there weren't many surprises around Harley-Davidson. The atmosphere was predictable, calm, and relaxed. So many guys had worked there all of their lives, that some referred to the company as the "Old Soldiers' Home". It was the last place you'd expect a crisis.-
A review of H-D 1930-1941
The book gives a refreshing view of incredible machines and what they were truly designed for.The author describes, in depth, how the machines were used for everything from the sublime to the rediculous on a daily basis.He walks the reader into a time that is long gone, dwells there with him (or her) in the legendary Visitors' Room, then races the reader onward to the swamps and backlands that earned the cycles' reputation.He illudes to a peaceful, contented feeling that can only be shared, alone, on a quiet hidden roadway that only the rider knows exists.He shows just how a cycle was meant to be ridden by the men who refined the machine, not the men who designed it.I can't say enough about this book. NOTE:If you believe that a motorcycle is a work of art and should be kept spotless and under glass, don't purchase this book.You'll be sorely disappointed. Olden ways in olden days
Historical account of the men and machines of yesteryear.This book is not layed out as a technical or motorcycle repair manual.It's straight forward and addresses the evolution of the Harley Davidson flathead designfrom it's inception to the end of production.Chronologically laid out itglides you through the changes in attitude and design. A must read for thetrue enthisiust. A fine job by the author of keeping the subject readableand understandable. ... Read more

1912-2003 Chevrolets
I like Hot Rods.Many are made from the oldr chevs and fords.There are so many old ford hot rods that I have learned some of the body styles for the pre-50s models.With Chevrolets I needed help with models prior to 1941.This publication is a wealth of information on all the models, their features, motors, horsepower and how many of each were built.

The Wright Stuff
Fred Kelly has written the definitive biography of the Wright Brothers, with special emphasis on the 10 years after the first flight. During this time, the brothers worked diligently to explain the benefits of aviation to an unbelieving public and uninterested leaders of military and commercial concerns.
An excellent telling of the history of man's first flight.
Fred Kelly did a wonderful job in bringing the story of the Wright Brothers to the public in this birgraphy.He starts us off by showing us the environment that the brothers grew up in and how the two had a curious and experimential nature about them.We are then shown the methods they had used in their experimentations for developing their flying machine.We can even feel the edge of competition as Samual Langly makes his attempt at manned powered flight only a day before the brothers and is met with failure. Only 100 Years Ago
Considering that Fred Kelly's biography was first published in 1943, the text has a surprisingly contemporary style and its underlying research is up to today's high biographical standards. There is little hint in the reading that the book is so dated. What will never get old is the fantastic story of the Wright Brothers.Read more

Not a very satisfying purchase
The book is mostly very bland facts and figures.The intro to each model year is very brief and then goes straight into VINs and paint codes.I also don't like how the options and prices are written in paragraph form instead of as a list.That makes it difficult to compare between model years.
Decent Overview W/Price List
Very general overview - with a good pricelist.Covers all vette models - good info on colors and engine codes. ... Read more
