A "must" for pop-cultural and motorcycle history buffs.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spirit of Motorcycle (History & Heritage) (Hardcover)
In The Spirit Of The Motorcycle, Michael Dregni surveys the unique pop-culture history of motorcycling in North America. His informative, engaging, often fascinating text is enhanced throughout with John Dean's impressive photography of original and restored cycles from the 100year retrospective history exhibit of the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Alberta, Canada. Laced with superb large-format photographs of motorcycles, historical images, brochures, artwork, advertisements, and collectibles, The Spirit Of The Motorcycle is a "must" for all students of American popular cultural history, motorcycle enthusiasts, collectors, and nostalgia riders of a motorcycling yesteryear.
