Publisher's Note Featuring a format inspired by the long, lean lines of the motorcycle itself, this dynamically illustrated volume coincides with the Guggenheim Museum's exhibition "The Art of the Motorcycle". 175 illustrations.
Hell's Angels and RUBs (Rich Urban Bikers)--every class of biker is represented, along with all the attendant moto-culture ephemera and history: memorable scenes from classic biker designs, an illustrated motorcycle timeline showing a century's worth of killer bikes, and contributions by such biker celebrities as Dennis Hopper, Guy Webster, and Philippe Starck.
Industry Reviews "Even if you don't own a bike, this book will give you a boost of octane, a taste of what you're missing." Himmelfarb
