Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first accessible English language account of motorcycles in the Soviet Union. Concentrating on the wartime and postwar period until 1990, prior to the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, it covers the motorcycles produced, and looks at the way in which they were used at home and exported abroad. Chapters cover wartime, models produced, the social character of Soviet era motorcycling, and wide-ranging sport. With planned, rather than market-led, production based around copies of pre-war German BMW and DKW models, the industry churned out hundreds of thousands of utilitarian and rugged machines that were very different from the more fashion-orientated machines produced in the West. These motorcycles went under the place names of the producing factories: Ishevsk, Kovrov, Moskva, Minsk and, of course, the large flat twins produced in Irbit and Kiev under the Ural and Dnepr names. With a strong emphasis on Soviet era illustrations, the book provides an insight into a life based on idealism and ideology that has now passed. Period photographs and images, many of them from private family collections, show Soviet bikes as well as popular imports Jawa from Czechoslovakia, and Pannonia from Hungary.

Remember the first and last years of the "Indian-face" horn, Daytona or the Bonneville Sport Scout? Ever wonder what the 1931 model DT-101 Dispatch Tow was equipped with, or when models came with optional "B" motors? Are you restoring a 1934 Chief, maybe a 1936 Indian 4 or a 1938 Sport Scout and need to know the paint colors and what was new for that year? Do you remember what years the model Indian 4 was known as the Upside-Down 4? Maybe you forgot what year the models Traffic Car, Motoplane, WR-20 Service Car, Scout 101, Armored Car, Junior Scout and the Dispatch Tow were each first introduced? Well look no further, the Indian Motorcycle Data Book 1930-1939 is your one-stop information source for all known models that rolled off the lines, featuring Year-by-Year data listings including New Features, Production Totals, Specialty Models, Paint Colors, Retail Prices, Technical Specifications, Model Notes including Catalog, Articles and Historic.

This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 108 pages, 52 black & white illustrations, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Originally published under a similar title The Book of the Rudge, this 1953 Fifth edition is one of The Motorcyclist's Library series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England. Obviously, while this re-print of the fifth edition is somewhat specific to the 1933-1939 motorcycles, much of the information is also appropriate to earlier Rudge models. As there is so little repair and maintenance data available for these motorcycles, the information included, while not of the detail or level of a technical manual, will be of assistance to any Rudge motorcycle owner. Models that are covered include the: 250cc Tourist, Rapid & Sport and the 500cc Special, Sports Special & Ulster. This publication has been out-of-print and unavailable for many years and is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market and we are pleased to be able to offer this reprint as a service to all Rudge motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.
