jimw Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi All, Can anyone recommend any books on pre 65 trials bikes(author and/or title) please? Thanks in anticipation. When I was looking I didn't find one book covers all - if you're looking for 2 stroke there's a good book on villiers engined bikes which pretty much covers all the 2 stroke ones. Not sure about the 4 strokes - might have to go for individual books - depends what you're after really. I found motomerlin ( I found them via ebay) have a good selection.
