Topic: Best Bike Books

Hey'all- good day and all that

I'm interested in piling a few good books onto my desk, particularly about the operation & tuning of carbs, riding amongst the heards of SUVs seemingly on auto-pilot, without all the great piloting, motorcycle history and all that good stuff...

Any suggestions on some good books?

"The Bike Riders" by Danny Lyon
Photos and stories about the Chicago Outlaws
of the 60's.--most of these guys didn't make it
out of the 60's.

Might not be exactly what you are looking for, but A Twist of the Wrist is an awesome book.

It might be basic for a veteran rider who's logged 50k miles, but I ate it up way back when and still use some of the analogies and such when I want to help friends learn to be better riders.  For their own safety and confidence and my piece of mind.

Go on amazon.com and you will find a ton of books about bikes there....I got "The History of Japanese Motorcycles" there at a real bargain.
