The
NEW EDITION of the book is out! Many are recommending
it to anyone interested in motorcycles generally. But
if you are into Ducati singles you will really enjoy
it. First and foremost, the book is a traditional
buyers guide offering details of the various models
and a correct history of the singles, but is also much
more. Through a series of first person vignettes it
offers insights into how the distributors for Ducati
in the 50's, 60's and early 70's operated, what it was
like to sell and repair the bikes and what was like to
race them. In short, the book recreates the experience
of the singles as it actually was. It is essential
reading for anyone who is interested in Ducati.
Here is a sample of what one reader posted:
An excellent book that anyone interested in these great bikes should read. Tom’s first hand involvement in the whole Ducati bike “scene” in the glory days of the Duc singles is a great read from cover to cover. There are stories of racing exploits, great hard to find tech info, buying tips as well as vintage and current photos of these amazing bikes. His insights into the Ducati organization of the time and the dealers who brought these thinly veiled race bikes to the public is also very interesting. This period is after all was where the Ducati mystique began. It is often over looked. If you love this great brand and the vintage bikes that it is built on, buy this book! You will not be disappointed.
