Motorcycles: John Britten Story
by Felicity Price
John Britten was a Kiwi legend of the late 20th century whose distinctive,
hand-built, pink-and-blue racing motorcycle broke four world speed records
and reached iconic status worldwide. Tragically, he died of cancer at just
45. Eight years later, Britten Motorcycles tells the inside story of the
world's most innovative motorbike - and the man, his family, and the friends
who made the dream of winning the world's toughest motorcycle races come
true. John Britten's passion for building his own motorcycle and determination
to
succeed are legendary - but there was much more to the man. He was at once
a devoted family man, a tireless enthusiast, party animal and charismatic
boy who had refused to grow up. His works ranged from exquisite Tiffany-style
lamps to beautiful buildings and restored cars, trucks and motorbikes.Tragically,
John Britten died of cancer at just 45. This is the inside story of the
world's most innovative motorbike - and the man, his family, and the friends
who made the dream of winning the world's toughest motorcycle races come
true- Only authorized biography of John Britten- Profusely illustrated
with photographs from the Britten Motorcycle Company archives and family
albums- More than 50 people were interviewed to piece together the full
story

Racers; Rockers, Rock 'n' Roll, and the Coffee-Bar Cult
by Mike Clay
An enthralling history of the days of the ton-up boys who, dressed
in studded leathers, often raced their much-modified machinery on the public
streets, and sometimes paid a high price. The book includes stills from
movies and photographs from private collections and newspapers illustrating
the days of the rocker, and helps to explain why the era has generated
a cult following in the 90's - and beyond.
