Aprašymas
This book is about a specific place, but the story is universal. The lessons to be learned could apply to any city in America. Motorcycles were indicative of the technology and manufacturing revolution taking place which enabled the machine's own development. The speed with which improvements came and the enormous advances made in a short period of time, can only be compared to that of the computer revolution a century later. The connections between motorcycles, people, and the industrial and economic evolution of the 20th century holds lessons worth learning regardless of one's interest in motorcycles.
This little book will acquaint the reader to people and events which may not be familiar. As well as mentioning some that might be surprisingly familiar. With over 190 illustrations, most from private collections, and many never seen publicly, there is sure to be something of interest. There is much more to be told. Much more to be learned. Much, much more that will never be known. This is a peek behind the curtain before what's still there disappears forever.
