Book excerpt: This officially licensed 120th anniversary edition of Indian Motorcycle tells the complete story of Indian Motorcycle, America's first mass-produced motorcycle maker, from its start as a bicycle manufacturer to the purchase of the brand by Polaris Industries in 2011 and the subsequent new Indian motorcycles—updated to include new photography, the story of the latest models, including the FTR1200, Chieftain, Challenger, and Roadmaster, and Indian Motorcycle's return to racing. In the early years of the 20th century, Indian Motorcycle dominated the world's racetracks and showrooms, earning the brand a worldwide reputation for quality, performance, reliability, and technical innovation with such classic machines as the Chief, Scout and Four. But the once-mighty company fell on hard times and in 1953 was forced to file bankruptcy. The Indian Motorcycle brand never quite died, however, thanks in large part to fanatically devoted enthusiasts, who tried to resurrect it for over half a century. Finally, Polaris, maker of the highly regarded Victory brand of motorcycles, purchased the brand and released the Chief and Scout, models that once again restored Indian Motorcycle to its rightful place in the motorcycle pantheon. Indian Motorcycle is the most complete and up-to-date history of this classic American motorcycle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the single-cylinder bikes of the 1950s to the high-performance sportbikes of today, The Complete Book of Ducati Motorcyclesshowcases the entire spectrum of Ducati. Legendary Ducati motorcycles have something of a rags-to-riches story. This Italian motorcycle manufacturer began by selling motorized bicycles to impoverished residents of post-World War II Italy. Today, Ducati is the world's premier manufacturer of street motorcycles whose sales continue to rise year after year. Its svelte, hyper-accelerating motorcycles are two-wheeled wonders that are fluent in the language of speed. The Complete Book of Ducati Motorcycles traces the stunning chronology of the motorcycles dreamed up by Ducati, from the 1950s to present day. Laid out for the first time in encyclopedia form with gorgeous photography and insights from Ducati expert Ian Falloon, this book offers motorcycle enthusiasts a closer look at the craftsmanship, power, and beauty of these extraordinary motorcycles. The book features all of the motorcycles from Ducati's storied history, including the groundbreaking Desmodromic 750 Super Sport, the Mike Hailwood Replica, the Superbike-dominating 916, and the epic Panigale. From the street bikes that gave birth to the very notion of the modern superbike to the racing motorcycles that dominated tracks in Great Britain, Europe, and North America since the latter part of the twentieth century, The Complete Book of Ducati Motorcycles runs the full gamut of sportbikes. It's a collection that demands shelf space in the library of any true motorcycle collector or fan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wouldn't it be great to build motorcycles for a living?" I'm guessing the thought has crossed your mind while working on your own bike. It's kind of like saying, "Wouldn't it be great to climb Mount Everest?" Of course, it would, depending on your tolerance for discomfort-and even disaster. In the few years that Classified Moto has been my livelihood, I've experienced highs and lows. I've felt pride, joy, fear and camaraderie. Plus, the occasional overwhelming urge to punch someone square in the face. Through it all, I've learned without a doubt that I'm an expert on nothing. Ironically this is probably the most valuable knowledge I've acquired. More on that later. But: full disclosure here. If you get the chance to appear on Bike EXIF, take it. If you want a shot at building a successful motorcycle business, I believe you need three traits: Creativity, flexibility and enthusiasm. All three. And although we're talking about bike building, these traits probably apply to any form of self-employment. (And life in general.) Conventional wisdom says to run a successful custom bike company you need to be an amazing craftsman, a world-class welder, a master mechanic, and so on. I disagree. Like it or not, the skills you need to build a motorcycle are not the same ones you need to make a living from building motorcycles. Today, you need a vision-and the social graces to get good people on board, people who can help you execute that vision. It should be your goal to spend your time doing what you do best, and delegate the rest to specialists who do it better than you do. If you are creative, flexible and enthusiastic, chances are you can round up a set of top-notch craftsmen to help get the builds done. And then other talented folks to help you convey what you're doing to the public-by building your brand. There's a bit of a notion afoot that building a brand for your business somehow makes you a poser. If you are going to build your own business one day, be careful before you join the bashing. You'll be forced to eat crow. And you might also have to ask for advice from the successful 'posers' you mocked to begin with. Yes, if you're going to attempt to make a living at this, you're going to have to market yourself in some way. And do it as well as (or better than) you can weld, sew, tune carbs or pull wheelies. Building a brand might seem easy, but it's not just a logo design. It requires a lot of knowledge, and an instinctive feel for stuff you might not want anything to do with. The most interesting thing? It forces you to see your work from the public's perspective. You know how awesome you are, no doubt. But if you're having a hard time convincing the masses of that fact-or even a few well-heeled clients-your bottom line will suffer. Start by figuring out what you bring to the table. Are you an order taker, a dictator, a trendsetter, a copycat, an asshole, or an unbridled artist? Are your bikes easily recognizable? Are you filling a unique demand of some sort? People need a reason to get excited about what you're trying to sell. So, Will you find something that you can be excited about as well, and make that the basis of your brand? Let get started....

Book excerpt: What began as a motorized bicycle dreamed up between a young machinist named George Hedstrom and a champion cyclist named George Hendee, became one of the most popular motorcycles in the world: the Indian. Out of production for half a century, Indian retains the loyalty and admiration of motorcycle riders and enthusiasts everywhere. This book recounts the marque’s story from its earliest single-cylinder “motocycles” of 1901 through the bitter day in 1953 when the company shuttered Wigwam, its Springfield, Massachusetts, plant—with a nod to the trademark disputes that continue to this day. Text by noted Indian historian Jerry Hatfield, and more than 125 specially commissioned photographs and 25 black and white historical pictures, capture the seductive power and grace of the great models—the Scout, Chief, and Four, —and recreate the thrill the Indian generates to this day.
