This review is from: Cafe Racers of the 1960s: Machines, Riders and Lifestyle a Pictorial Review (Mick Walker on Motorcycles, 1) (Paperback)
This is fantastic book for those of us who weren't around to experience the cafe racers of the 60's and 70's. It's like a time capsle sending you back to the lifestyle and genre of the ton-up boys and what it meant to earn that label.
Book was just as described from seller, perfect and unused condition.

This review is from: Cafe Racers of the 1960s: Machines, Riders and Lifestyle a Pictorial Review (Mick Walker on Motorcycles, 1) (Paperback)
A fun read, with pictures from the heyday of the rocker era. These are not idealized recreations or pictures of people today trying to look the part, these are photos from the actual time. Brief stories cover the trends, bikes (and mods to them), clothing and stories of this era, as well as a discussion of the Ace Cafe. A book you'll come back to over and over again.

Bought this for a Christmas present for my Husband - thought it could serve as inspiration for his Cafe Racer project. He seems to really like it.
