The Vincent in the Barn: Great Stories of Motorcycle Archaeology by Tom Cotter
It's every motorcyclist's dream. A friend or acquaintance says, "You know, there's an old bike thats been sitting in this garage for years." The hunt is on. And rather than the usual worthless Hondazukimaha pile of hopeless oxidation, at the back of that barn you find a genuine classic, the motorcycle collector's dream. The Vincent in the Barn tells forty such stories—tales of motorcycle hunting dreams come true. From Ducatis in basements to Vincents abandoned in sheds, Harleys in barns to Brit bikes moldering behind urban garages, these are the stories that fuel every motorcyclist's fantasies. The only difference? They're true.  Hardbound,
