2011 Book Review: Triumph Bonneville Portrait Of A Legend
James Mann and Mick Duckworth have put together a masterpiece in Triumph Bonneville Portrait of a Legend. Portrait covers the legendary Triumph Bonneville from its 1959 T120 US model to the 2010 Bonneville Sixty with a look at it’s origins in the 1954 Tiger 110. Filled with full color photos and chock full of technical details and differences between the models. I found this to be a great resource for what these bikes used to look like before they got chopped, bobbed and modified through the years.

2011 Book Review: Ketchup Soup
Author James Houck delivers up a rollicking good time in Ketchup Soup. James Reichardt from Kansas goes to New Orleans as a young man seeking his fortune. Full of grit and determination, young James does not let the fact that he is a complete idiot get in the way of his plan for success. Along the way James works in advertising, tree removal and dabbles in booze and nutmeg. He also buys a Big Twin motorcycle named Big Lucy and falls in with a gang of 1%’ers despite the fact that he doesn’t know how to ride a bike. In the tradition of Mark Twain, Houck delivers a farce of epic imagination and entertainment.
