The Modern Motorcycle 1915: How to Run, Ride and Repair it

By 1915 Basil H Davies had been riding motor cycles for 16 years and had covered hundreds of thousand miles on various models. He had been writing prolifically on the subject for over 12 years and yet at the age of 36 the Rev B H Davies BA aka Ixion of 'The Motor Cycle' remained anonymous to his thousands of avid readers. Basil was not a trained mechanic and had learned his motor cycling skills the hard way, but he was a very eloquent writer, and this new reproduction is not a patronising introduction for new motor cyclists but gives a generous understanding and explanation of the joys and pitfalls which contemporary riders might experience.
