I don't know if there's already a thread. I couldn't find one.

I usually go after "Classic Bike" and "Classic Motorcycle Mechanics"... both are UK publications for the vintage crowd. I do love "Motorcyclist" though.

Must have a Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice at the same time. So good.

Guess I might as well mention Steven King's 11.22.63 I read at the beach during Thanksgiving. Was a really fun story even though it was 850 pages and not one picture.

 :( Currently half way through Hard Times by Charles Dickens. Makes me thankful that I was born in the 1950's, and not the 1850's. Also Classic Bike, Practical Classics, and a few other old bike mags.

I usually depise reading, but I can't put down Game of Thrones.  I'm on the 3rd book in 4 months, at about 1000 pages each. Also get every car magazine monthly.

As for bike books, I have nothing yet but I've heard Twist the Throttle (I think?) is a good read.  I need to check out something bike related soon

Sorry guys.

this is basically NMC

a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that

Read the entire Horatio Hornblower series, now reading the Master and Commander series.  You guys should all rush out and buy "Dead On" thru Paladin Press - I can use the royalties!  You don't even have to read it!
This isn't a dress rehearsal for life - this is it!
