Art of the Bobber

Art of the Bobber The book arrived quickly and I was delighted with it - a real 'coffee table' book, well produced with many great photos and details about early-style custom motorcycles - anyone who likes custom motorcycles will enjoy it. John Walker
Not Bad
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Generally the photography is excellent, and covers a good cross section of Bobbers, from the real art of Cyril Huze and Indian Larry to unknows.The biggest downside is that the technical data sheets for each bike are inconsistant in the ammount of information provided, and some of the text is incorrect. It does however achieve its goal of being a companion book to Tom Zimberoffs "Art of the Chopper" and likewise should find a place on your coffee table as it did mine.

This book has a ton of beauty shots of amazing bikes. The last reviewer was disappointed there weren't a lot of "old school" traditional bobbers, but that's not the point of the book really. There are a number of old school bobbers, a number of modern looking designs, but overall if you're a fan of awesome custom motorcycles, you'll dig this book.
