Title: bike books all makes/marques
Post by: Stix on September 26, 2015, 03:22:11 PM
Hi all
just been spending quality time deciding what is junk and what is not from both the garage and the loft, well got most of the garage stuff sorted and made a big pile in the corner for the junk man to take away, but in the loft I found a big bag of books that I got from my dad when he popped off to the race track in the sky.
there are books on Velocete giving the history of them and a few workshop type books, a selection of haynes manuals for honda  50 125 200 cx 500 couple of suzuki ones  couple of Bsa bantams and a triumph 350/500, others here but to long a list to type out.
all free come and collect them couple would be considered coffee table books the rest would make good reading if you like old bikes. Also a handful of books from the Manx TT with results and other info in them.
They will all be going to the tip soon so if you want them or some of them let me know .

Just found another pile of them, book of the Rudge of the Ariel the Sunbeam and a few on the Villiers engine plus some old motorcycle magazine books on tuning for speed and workshop practises.
would make a fine display on a stand at an auto jumble if you are into them, me I aint or boot sales either but all free for the taking.

I'd be interested in the villiers engine books, I like old bike books my dad gave me some from the 50's

Ok mate as long as you are certain you want them, Biker grand is taking them to sell and give the proceeds to the Nabd, will put the villiers ones to one side  but I would like them gone ASAP .

I had a great drive home - pity I wasn't on the trike!  Took the first right turn for Alderholt, toodled through the lanes to Cranborne and down to Wimborne and Corfe Mullen, then instead of the direct route home I went through Lytchett Matravers so I never got on a main road till Sandford - lovely!

nice to meet you today Bobbi, and as you say a shame you where not on the trike, won't be many days left when the weather is good enough just to go for a ride.

If I send you some money could you post them? Or are they a bit heavy?
