First of all, anyone who is remotely interested in this book has a problem. And if that person acknowledges that this problem is an enthusiasts addiction to motorcycles then the low cost and high content of this book delivers. For the motorcycle enthusiast who prefers an unmolested motorcycle as delivered from the factory, this is probably not your cup of tea; but be forwarned, pick this book up and you may join the dark side. For the motorcyclist who can't seem to leave his (or her!) trusty motorcycle well enough alone, this book is a motivational spike that would rate on your Richter scale. Beautifully finished, highly modified motorcycles abound in this color packed hard-bound book; and for less than it costs to change the oil in your bike. All the Japanese manufacturers are represented along with Ducati, Buell, Norton, and two bikes that almost defy the description of "motorcycle"; but I won't spoil the rocket fuelled ending, after all this is a book. The only drawback is that this book leaves the reader wanting more. More detail on each bike, and more bikes to examine in detail. The bottom line is this: if you have ever thought, spoken, or written the word MOTORCYCLE then buy this book. The price is right and the content is phenomenal. Guaranteed!
The best book yet for the Streetfighter Sportbiker!

For the exotic, unusual, or custom sporting motorcycle enthusiast, this book is the BOMB! It is packed full of naked streetfighters, supermotards, competition bikes, and others. Specialist makes like Harris, Martek, and Spondon, plus the usual modified production rides from all over the world grace these pages. Beautiful pictures, specs, and interesting text compliment this awesome hardback. It begins with a brief history of the streetfighter craze and contains nearly all current configurations possible- 2 strokes, 4 strokes, rotarys, turbos, N2O, and even a jet powered trike! If your taste for the ultimate sportbike includes art that strays from the mainstream production models as well as all-out brute force, this book is for you. A bargain at twice the price. Get it, you won't be disappointed. I can't wait for Volume 2!

The wealth of diversity in Faces of Korea is second to none. The author has well-researched and documented the experiences of foreigners living in Korea. From men and women to young adults and elder citizens, from migrant laborers and corporate professionals to teachers and writers, the interesting diversity in this book adds to its authentic credibility.
Recommended reading for those planning on living/working in Korea

This is a collection of accounts of a number of people who live, or had lived, in South Korea. The occupations of the people whose stories are relayed in this volume are varied, and range from those working as office workers, those who are students or who are serving in the US military, and of course those working as the obligatory ESL teacher. The nationalities are as diverse as the occupations - as well as people of Korean descent, there are also Americans, Japanese, Filipinos, and New Zealanders, all of whom have interesting stories to tell about various aspects of their lives in Korea.
The book is split into 6 main sections, each dealing with a particular general aspect of life in Korea. One section is about working in Korea, another discusses social relations in Korea. People of Korean descent share their experiences in one section, and students in Korea get another section. A particularly interesting section is dedicated to those people who have formally made Korea their home, including one white US male who renounced his American citizenship to become a Korea. The final section, which I suspect will be the cause of most people's interest in this book is teaching in Korea. This is hardly surprising since ESL teaching is a relatively high profile and popular occupation for many young foreigners in Korea.
All but one of the contributors to the teaching section have taught in Hagwons, the most common employer of ESL teachers in Korea. The sole exception was the contributor who had only taught as an university instructor, although a number of the Hagwon teachers also went on to teach at a university - again hardly surprising, since it is quite a popular gig, usually teaching 15 hours or so a week, for nearly twice the pay of a Hagwon teacher. This section will be of most use to those readers who plan on teaching in Korea, as a number of the contributors discuss the common pitfalls for a novice in this field, and tips to help get by. This isn't to say the other sections aren't of interest. Many of the contributors give interesting insights into life, love, work and play in the Land of the Morning Calm. Recommended reading for those wanting insights into life in modern Korea, as well as those considering teaching in Korea.

In one word - Marvelous. Right when I got It it was a breeze using it. From the ime that you open it, to the time that it's covered in car grease and not ledgable anymore, its a truck owners bible. There is an easy-read index that guides you throughtout the book and tons of photos. As an amature mechanic, I can have trouble reading complicated scematics and maps to engines. But this book made it simple. I would definitly reccomend it to anyone. (Be sure to see the parts list in the back-great help on ordering hard to find parts)

This book is about life, a life that just happens to involve many things motored. Yet there are lessons that can be learned by those who aren't motorheads. Probably the best thing about this book is that you feel like you are there, it places you on the bike, it places you in the driver's seat, you are racing the bike, you are simply there. Read the story about riding through East Germany and just try to pretend that you don't get that strange feeling that someone is watching you.
If you are an avid motorhead and/or motorcyclist than you NEED this book. You'll read a story and say to yourself, "I've done that" or "that's happened to me." This book is highly recommended for any biker who stores the bike for the winter, consider it a motorcyclists winter survival tool. You can ride vicariously with the stories contained within.
You won't regret getting this book, it's provided many a rainy evening of entertainment for me and my riding buddies.

I purchaced this fine book about 10 years ago when I was waiting for my new Harley to be shipped. It was like reading about myself by a very astute auther regarding how I felt, what I wanted to know and more. Joyce Imes is very easy to read and knows the subject better than most from her years as parts person at a Harley dealership. This is my first review, I don't always feel this strongly about a book...Huck
good book if your new

This book has great photos, fun text, and is an easy read. Great title for the coffee table. Buy it, read it, and come back to it later. This book is really designed more to look at than to "read", and it does very well what it was intended to do.

This is a big (9-inch X 12-inch, over 500 pages) coffee table book, absolutely crammed full of beautiful full-color photographs--nearly 1,000 of them, many of them two-page spreads. It covers not only Harley-Davison's history, in text and photos, but also the different types of their bikes, roadtests, police bikes, military motorcycles, racing, custom bikes (gorgeous photos!) and even a chapter on the Honda, Kawasaki and other "look-a-likes" (the sincerest form of flattery).
The text is informative, with specifications, descriptions and road tests on a great many machines, and an excellent history including the period when AMF owned Harley-Davidson, and the machines' quality suffered.
All this by an independent writer who has written similar books on other brands of motorcycle, as well--in other words, this is not a puff piece by the factory.
"To the bandana-wearing 'Hognoscenti,' a Harley-Davidson motorcycle is much more than the sum of its steel, chrome, rubber, plastic and leather parts." --Richard Fleury, co-author.
Nearly 40 years ago, I owned a 74-cubic-inch knucklehead Harley with a suicide clutch and tank shift. I remember it fondly, and were it not for my advanced age, I'd buy another one today regardless of the price.
I recommend this book highly to any Harley-Davidson enthusiast, for their library. (Yes, many of them are extremely literate.)
