For many years the British motorcycle industry was the largest in the world, not counting low-powered mopeds and scooters and the like. After World War II the motorcycle industry was the third largest source of foreign exchange for the United Kingdom after motor cars and Scotch whiskey. Yet by 1975 the industry was essentially dead. What lead to the fall of the motorcycle industry in Britain, after virtually defining the country for so long? Shooting Star: The Rise & Fall of the British Motorcycle Industry is the first comprehensive look at the British motorcycle industry with a critical look at business and trade practices that lead to its demise. The full romance, beauty, and excitement of the machines and especially the top racers who rode them is captured here, but it's all blended for the first time with information about the lesser-known businessmen who built the companies -including Norton, BSA, and Triumph- and then ran them into the ground, as well as a critical look at some of the engineer and designers who were brilliant and badly flawed at once. The failures of the British motorcycle industry are a painful object lesson for the badly strapped American automobile industry at the present time.

From a corner of the garage set up for routine maintenance to a dream shop housing precious classic machines, How to Set Up Your Motorcycle Workshop, Third Edition will help you make the most of your space. Packed with easy-to-read practical advice, author C. G. Masi walks the reader through designing, building and equipping the workshop you need -- whether you plan to restore, repair and maintain your own bikes or hope to open a small commercial facility. How-to Set Up Your Motorcycle Workshop starts by helping readers determine their work space and storage needs and create a shop layout that matches their budget. The author then addresses basics such as providing adequate electrical power, lighting and heat and air conditioning. With the workshop design in place, Masi helps readers identify the must-have and want-to-have tools to appropriately equip the space. This new third edition of the book includes profiles of real-world workshops, from small garage spaces to purpose-built restoration and race-prep shops, and features a new comprehensive and up-to-date directory of resources for equipment, tools, computers, battery powered tools and energy saving tips. Color photos and illustrations bring the subject alive.
