If you understand the meaning of the phrase 'One Down, Four Up', this book has been written with you in mind. If you don't understand the title, this book offers the reader a great learning opportunity to understand the people who ride or just enjoy motorcycles. Nigel's love of motorcycles has been with him since he was able to keep a couple of rotating wheels between his legs and grab some handlebars. His early pushbike experience naturally progressed to mopeds and then onto larger and different types of motorcycles. Nigel explains his choice of bikes, some of the technical and historical details of the models and brands, and the adventures he has had by riding motorcycles on the three continents he has lived.
