Books with title Motorcycles!

An expanded and freshly translated edition of the cult bestseller, for a new generation of Che Guevara fans. In January 1952, two young men from Buenos Aires set out to explore South America on 'La Poderosa', the Powerful One: a 500cc Norton. One of them was the twenty-three-year-old Che Guevara. Written eight years before the Cuban Revolution, these are Che's diaries -- full of disasters and discoveries, high drama, low comedy and laddish improvisations. During his travels through Argentina, Chile, Peru and Venezuela, Che's main concerns are where the next drink is coming from, where the next bed is to be found and who might be around to share it. Che becomes a stowaway, a fireman and a football coach; he sometimes falls in love and frequently falls off the motorbike. Within a decade the whole world would know his name. His trip might have been an adventure of a lifetime -- had his lifetime not turned into a much greater adventure.; Features exclusive, unpublished photos taken by the 23-year old Ernesto on his journey across the continent.; and a tender preface by Aleida Guevara, offering an insightful perspetive on her father -- the man and the icon.

“Monkey Monkey Motorcycle, 1-2-3! I see you, can you see me?” We teach our children safety skills while riding their bikes, but how closely do we watch for motorcycles and bikes while out driving? “Monkey Monkey Motorcycle” is a wonderful opportunity to get your little ones involved in keeping an eye out for those swift two wheels, and provides an easy tool to remember while you, the parent, are out on the road. Together, we can help reduce the accidents occurring between two wheels and four.

Out of the need for speed came the motorcycle. The first model was a bicycle with an engine strapped to it. Since then, the motorcycle has become its own vehicle, with a model to suit almost anybodys needs. This informative resource will appeal to young readers who love motorcycles and for those writing reports. It examines the invention and development of the motorcycle, the essential components of a motorcycle, and how motorcycles work. A special section on safety rounds out this resource, which will have readers revving up their engines.
