Publisher Description
It’s every motorcyclist’s dream. A friend or acquaintance says, “You know, there’s an old bike that’s been sitting in this garage for years.” The hunt is on. And rather than the usual worthless Hondazukimaha pile of hopeless oxidation, at the back of that barn you find a genuine classic, the motorcycle collector’s dream.
The Vincent in the Barn tells forty such stories--tales of motorcycle hunting dreams come true. From Ducatis in basements to Vincents abandoned in sheds, Harleys in barns to Brit bikes moldering behind urban garages, these are the stories that fuel every motorcyclist’s fantasies. The only difference? They’re true.

Customer Reviews
A must read!
If you love classic motorcycles this is the book for you. I will say this book does not contain many stories about Harley Davidson motorcycles, which did disappoint me at first. However this book is great for discovering some history about euro bikes and pre WWW II motorcycles. Reading this book is like sitting around with a bunch of old men and listening to their stories. It's a quick read, but a good one. Ride hard.
