It’s a long wait till March.

It’s a long wait till March.

It can be a pretty long wait for the cold season to be over. Discerning chopperistas will appreciate some welcome diversion during those long winter evenings. We’re thinking not so much about mobiles made from used tea bags and kebab skewers, but rather about the real heartwarming stuff: reading matter of the analog kind, or, as we used to say in times gone by: books. They even work without Wifi, electricity, or apps. Get the low-down on motorcycle history, read up on Harley-Davidson fun facts, peruse How-To handbooks, or find some real wrenching inspiration, we’ve got you covered.

ZEN and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
ZEN and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
No, this is not just another service manual, as the book title might imply. 'ZEN and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' by US author Robert M. Pirsig is a work of philosophical non-fiction, first published in 1974, at the end of the hippie era, which soon became influential and gained cult status. It represents a mixture of novel, biography and philosphical reflections about the increasingly technical American (or western) way of life during the 1950s and 1960s. This odyssey into life's fundamental questions was perfectly compatible with the counterculture that had just formed, in particular on the form of education and aims in life of the conservative post-war social classes in the US.

“In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame.
On a cycle the frame is gone. You're completely in contact with it all. You're in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.”

The Legend Begins
The Legend Begins
For decades, "The Legend Begins" has been the reference book for older and very old Harley-Davidson motorcycles. This book counts not so much with brightly coloured photos of shiny motorcycles but is a scrupulous listing of every model that was available for public sale from 1903-1969. Model designations, color schemes and (from 1920 on) factory order forms with all the available engine configurations listed.
We here at W&W Cycles kept our copy in the archives and yes, tabs on it. And we've been using it over and over. For, for over a decade, the good old hardcover edition was no longer available. We're all the happier that we can offer you this softcover reprint.
