1 comments about Harley-Davidson (Drive. Ride. Fly.).

1. There are few brand names in the world that provoke such an image of power, rebellion, and individual freedom as does the name "Harley-Davidson." This book takes us on a reading journey with the big boys on Harley's to Sturgis, South Dakota and on the road across America. I was already imagining myself as this rebel in black leather riding into town as I looked at the photos of those bikers cruising down the main street. The truth is that today's bikers are regular folks and not much like those gangsters that Marlon Brando portrayed in "The Wild One" many long years ago.
   
   There is a certain mystical quality to the lore and myth that surrounds Harley bikes and their riders. This book picks up on some of that powerful energy. The photos really capture the beauty and artistry of these machines. What is nice about this book for younger people is that it does not glorify "The Hell's Angels" image and delivers something much more family friendly and enriching. The text is good at getting the reader little pieces of information and history. It makes a great marriage to the colorful photos which are abundant inside the book.
   
   A good read for young men of all ages. Should be of greatest interest to teenage boys but it appeals to the young at heart!
   
   I personally recommend this book for all young male readers and old dreamers like myself! A must read book!

5 comments about Ducati (Enthusiast Color).

1. There is an unusual dearth of books on Ducati written in English. Given the almost obsessive loyalty of Ducati fans (comparable almost to those Harley enthusiasts that make the pilgrimage to the original source once a year), books on Ducati are as rare as the bikes themselves. This title, although only available in soft cover, covers the Ducati history fairly well, if not lacking in detail, and from an American perspective, the author has done his research. What sells the book for me is the quality of the color photography. Ducatis have been blessed with incredibly vibrant and sensual colors and styling. To print black and white photographs of them is almost sacrilege! My only complaint is this: Ducati enthusisats can clearly afford some of the most expensive bikes around. Why do the publishers believe the enthusiasts won't want to pay extra for a hardcover book?



2. An excellent review of the Ducati history from the American perspective. The book follows the ebb and flow of the Ducati story and it is illustrated with fine color photos. It is not a technical review, just a rich narrative that reads easily. A must for any Ducati enthusiast.



3. This book is an excellent addition to the library of any motorcycle enthusiast, especially Ducati. But anyway, it has very good photos and very interesting text.



4. This series of books on motorcycles and cars tends to be pretty good for the money. It has color and black and white photos. Ducati in particular is a bike best seen in color, though, and the book could have used more color. The text is short, sweet, and useful. The book will give you a good education and is a worthy addition to your Ducati library.



5. ... it's all illustrated beautifully in color. I bought it used here for $$$ and would gladly have paid new price. Of all the books I've read on Ducati, this one was the only one to tell it like it is regarding the poor business practices of the Italians and the shoddy build quality of Ducati motorcycles. A fresh perspective that wasn't sugar coated or mired in myth. Truly a great read, or worth it for the pictures alone.
