Rare to find a gem of a book like this, read from cover to cover without putting it down. Recommended reading to anyone wanting to see how independents pioneered the bikes we see today.

Moto Martin isn’t in this one either. I’ve seen some of those Moto Martin CBXs, really sweet.

Books like this may be less likely to go completely out of print these days since Amazon sells a lot of their older books in a “Print on Demand” format. You order, they print one up, just for you. Once it’s in the computer there’s no reason it should ever again be unavailable. I’ve ordered some books like that, they’re in a trade paperback type binding and serve as well as any other book.

I had a copy of Keith Noake’s earlier work, “Post War Independent Motorcycle Framemakers”. His books have lots of pictures and references that aren’t to be found on the internet. One company missing in his first book was Moto Martin – a favorite chassis of the custom CBX builders at one time.

Books like this tend not to stay in print for long than beome a pain to find.
