I got my copy the other day and it is a good book, probably the best that has been done to date. I am somewhat disappointed in the overall motorcycle coverage. Other than the beginning it appears the MC coverage is small tidbits hidden through out. I haven't read it cover to cover yet, just extensive browsing but I think stories on Malcom smith, and Larry Rosseler (sp) especially as well as many others. On building a dynasty how could one overlook the 9 straight years of Kawasaki winning it (88-96). But I guess when you have a car guy write a book he's going to write about what he knows best.

Well if it's any consolation to me the movie Dust to Glory highlights the MC's to true form. And to think Fiolka was an associate producer on it.

MC Stories


The book has some great mc stories in it,, Marty worked with me on the images for the book, and I ended up with about 1/3 of pictures selected on the final draft. Many nights going over BW and color slides with Marty here at my house.
