We have written a book on motorcycle mechanics. A basic mechanics book that anyone can understand.
My first crush happened when I was 24 years old. It was a ’78 Sanglas 400F that had belonged to my father. He slept his last days under a filthy blanket, eaten by dust and mice.
I made up my mind to give him a second chance. My problem: I had no idea of mechanics .
I would have given anything for someone to sit down with me and explain to me how that motorcycle worked, what its parts were and how I could solve all those problems that kept it stopped.
Most of all, I would have appreciated someone explaining it to me in words I could understand.
The objective of this book on motorcycle mechanics is precisely that: to explain how a motorcycle works , to tell you about its parts one by one, to talk about its breakdowns and their possible solutions, but always as if it were a conversation between friends.
I am not going to go into incomprehensible technicalities that you can find on the internet, I want to explain the basic mechanics of a motorcycle with words that everyone understands.
In this book on motorcycle mechanics we will start from scratch, from the most basic inside a motorcycle, but we will get to the last screw that is worth understanding.
I assure you that I have learned writing it as much as fixing and restoring motorcycles, so it is an honor for me to be able to tell you about it now.
