The more modern types may want their books on iPads or Amazon thingies, and some of this fine collection here may be well available on those. However, to a huge part of the motorcycling audience, sitting on the throne reading on a digital device still feels plain wrong, and an iPad is a poor substitute for a coffee table book!
There’s a whole bunch of different books to choose between, from coffee table loveliness, autobiographies and stories from way back when – but all are very interesting and great reads!
