2 comments about Schwinn (Enthusiast Color).

1. This book has lots of photos but the one of the orange krate is totally incorrect. The auther should have done his homework and learned about Schwinn Bikes before doing a book on the subject. Instead he used nice photos of incorrectly restored bikes.



2. Sorry to see a good idea executed so poorly. The author relied on limited and questionable sources, leading to many mistakes in the history of the company. There are also several misspelled names, typos and incorrectly identified photos, although the photos are quite good as are some of the old ads. That's really the only reason to consider the book, for the photos and old advertising. Just don't waste time reading it as there are other, far better accounts of the company's history.

1. Excellent manual, I was able to clean my carbs and install a jet kit thanks to the manual. You should be somewhat mechanically inclined though.



2. Not much needed to be said. This book was perfect for its design. You will need nothing but tools after buying this book. Enjoy!

1. Well written as a technical guide, but lacking in "aftersale" user advice as setup indications and suggestions.

1. uptodate and comprehensive. Nothing of this mass escapes withour quibble, but there is so much information that is new even to those of us with years in the field that this is a must have. if photos and text were rated seperately, I would go for 5 stars on the text and a click or two less on the photos.



2. Excellent book, arrived in great condition, very fast service. It was all that I had expected.

3 comments about Motorcycle Ride on the Sea of Tranquility.

1. I'm a great fan of the "coming of age" story and of the first novel. "The Cider House Rules" by John Irving, being one of my favorite coming of age stories.

   In Patracia Santana's "Motorcyle Ride on the Sea of Tranquility" we view the world from the eyes of a teenage Mexican American girl/woman whose brothers' recent return from Vietnam has turned her world upside down. Her brother, like so many Vietnam vets., has returned home possessed by demons.

   While her brother struggles to right himself fourteen-year-old Yolanda "Yoli" Sahagun must not only learn to deal with her beloved brothers' gloom and doom mood but learn to deal with her own daunting and confusing experience. That of becoming a woman.

   I hope the rest of America soon discovers, as I did, this rich, humorous, sad, and wonderful story. Author Santana obviously has her finger, and her heart, on the pulse of the Latino community. The dialoge is strong and Latino in this well written and well told story. For a glimps inside the life of a real Mexican Ameican family, read "Motorcyle Ride on the Sea of Tranquility."

2. Unfortunately, I am not the Francisco that Yoli, the young heroine in Patricia Santana's beautiful first novel, falls in love with. But I wish I was. For long after having read this novel, I still find myself thinking of Yoli and imagining her giving me "the look". Isn't that the highest and most worthwhile achievement of a novel? That a Yoli or a Don Quixote become as real as hope, and in our moments of reflection, their words and actions echo our own internal beauty? Patricia, may you give us many more Yoli's and may your clear and strong writing, like a rippling, cool, mountain brook, continue to remind us of our source.



3. Patricia Santana has struck a chord on so many levels. She went back into the 1960's where even as children we knew they were turbulent, yet exhilarating times. Her expression of adolescent curiosities, love and confusion are as prevalent today as they were during that time, making this a novel that most people will have a self-to-text connection with. Being the child of immigrants I easily related to the home she grew up in and the traditions of the world during that time.
   The novel is a well crafted. It makes us look at the world through the eyes of truly plausible, interesting characters and gives us some insights of the devastating aftermath of the Vietnam War.

4 comments about Motorcycles Coloring Book.

1. My Daughter wanted to buy this book for my husbands birthday. He is the Service Manager at the local motorcycle dealer in town. My husband and the owner of the store were astounded by the details of not just the bikes in general, but in which the drawings portrayed for each paticular make of bike. My husband very much liked the idea of the briefs under the drawing about the particular bike displayed. Infact my husband likes this book so much he is keeping it as a collectors item. He made perfectly clear that he had no intentions of making one mark in such a beautiful work of art. Thankyou so much for such a wonderful gift for a very special person. Sincerely, Eileen A. Caprio



2. Okay, liseten up ladys...this book tot me how to ski!!! My friends are very proud of me and my mom says, "Dude, your one coolest kid and your my favorite kid ever!!!!" Best book ever go out and get it!!!



3. My son loves this book which he got from his grandpa for Christmas. He is 5 and autistic and LOVES motorcycles. This keeps him engaged for at least an hour. I now need to purchase another one because he has colored his first one already. I do wish the writing was bigger and a little easier to read to younger children, but otherwise a great coloring book for those kids who love motorcycles.



4. I don't know much about motorcycles but my husband is really into them and he likes this color book; it's a way for him to relax and stay busy at the same time.

Add sources for all specialty and listed items and you have an extraordinary guide to fine-tuning and customizing your Softail model.



2. The book is full of great color pictures. The projects are more for an experienced mechanic with access to more tools than the average Joe. For ideas its' great. Not recommended as a how to manual.
