not to be a downer, but why is the handle bar crooked?

I was wondering the same thing 

NICE!  Congrats BM! 

I'll be sending a couple buyers your way. 

I may have to pick up one for myself!

That rocks!

 

Mega Congrats.

Looks like an upcoming Christmas Present for,..      myself.

 

Congrats for taking the time / effort to make the book happen -- most people talk about doing it but most never do.

So when is the Ducati Monster book coming?

I'll only buy it if you included a picture of toasty in there. That would be the $h!t if you did. Ultimate toasty exposure. j/k congrats on the book, looks tasty.

Wants!!!

E-mail sent.

So, BMW's making motorcycles now?.....

Thanks for the nice responses, everybody!  I'm really excited about how the book turned out.   

We did this book about BMWs because we had access to Peter Nettesheim's spectacular collection of vintage Beemers.  He has more than 100 BMW bikes, almost all of which are exquisitely restored.  (The bikes that aren't restored are either kept in as-found condition or they are in the restoration "queue")   Mr. Nettesheim has examples of virtually every pre-WWII BMW boxer in his collection -- sometimes even multiple copies of the same model.  Frankly, there are only a couple of collections of BMWs in the world that rival Mr. Nettesheim's.  BMW Motorrad frequently borrows Peter's bikes for use in promotions and displays, including their recent stint as the 'featured marque' at the AMA museum in Pickerington, OH.  His bikes have also been crated and shipped to Germany for BMW events.  The bikes are just that good.

I'm laying the groundwork for writing my second moto-book this fall.  A Ducati book is also a possibility -- I've discussed this with a few people and made some phone calls.  We'll see if/how it shapes up.  

I shall purchase this book.

Congrats!

Congrats - will definitely order one
