Getting ready for the off season, wondering if anyone could recommend any good reads? what are some of the motorcycle related books that you've all read.

Ghost Rider Neil Peart. It was a good read many years ago when i bought it. It was the reason for a big ride i did a few years ago when i lost Sue. It sits on my fireplace coming down now and then for a flip thru.

I`ve no idea where you can find a copy, but, "Racer.. the Gary Nixon story". By Joe Scalzo I believe, I`ve had mine forever. I met Nixon and his tuner Erv Kanemoto at Mosport, probably `76 or so. He was on a TZ750, likely the OW31 variant. There that weekend also was Gene Romero aboard a TZ750, Vesco sponsored as well. Both those legendary incredibly talented racers are gone now, Nixon and "Burrito". I was a young guy on my CB750 and was in awe talking to them.

This is a must read. The one thing that amazes me about this journey around the world (that took place in 1936 or thereabouts) was that he only ran out of gas once outside of Munich.He was able to push his bike to the next gas station.

I thought that filming himself with "moving pictures" was a pretty neat trick for that time period.
 
Itchy Boots’ book “Free Ride” was released in English this year

Also, has anyone read “Lone Rider” by Elspeth Beard?
 
Not sure if the authors have turned this into a book, but it's a great motorcycle adventure story:

...took even longer trips, and then dealt with the aftermath, the ensuing ennui of "real life" - the anchor of a home, the jobs and the bills; the maintenance of everything we've accumulated in our collective seven decades on earth.
