Greg Pullen began a lifelong love affair with motorcycles in the sports moped and Barry Sheene era, during the long, hot summers of the 1970s. The Italian motorcycle obsession soon followed when a near neighbour bought a Laverda SFC750, soon replaced by a Moto Guzzi 850T3 for continental touring. Trained as a chartered surveyor specializing in old buildings, these days Greg spends his time in rural Wiltshire riding and writing for magazines that have included Classic Bike and Classic Bike Guide, alongside his own publication Benzina. He is also a consultant on classic motorcycles for Bonhams. This is his seventh book for Crowood.
As with Pullen’s previous works, it is well-written and researched
and, due to the excellent layout, can be dipped in and out of
besides being used as a reference work. Obviously, one for the RE
fan or owner, it is also one for those who are fed up with the
endless tomes on Triumph, BSA etc., and want to understand the
whole of British motorcycling history in the UK and around the
world.
*Desmo magazine*
Accomplished motorcycle author Greg Pullen charts the whole story
bringing it right up to date, including the current Indian
ownership that
has kept the name alive and brought machines bearing its moniker on
a par with others in the 21st century. Given the hundred and fifty
year plus history, this book delivers in giving the reader a
serious grounding in the Royal Enfield history. Royal Enfield has
come back to the UK and is very much part of the current scene.
