CAFE RACERS: ROCKERS, ROCK 'N' ROLL AND THE COFFEE-BAR CULT
by Mike Clay
Published by Osprey Publishing. 1st. 1988
Nearly fine condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. The Cafes - the Busy Bee on the A41, Johnsons on the A20 and the Ace on the North Circular - have now all done. So, too, has the media's sensationalism of the dangerous exploits of their clientele - the coffee-bar cowboys, the ton-up boys, the rockers, who diced with death racing records, playing chicken and fighting mods. The cafe racer was for many years the enfant terrible of the motorcycling world... Black cloth boards, silver title to spine. B/w and a few colour photos. 192 pages.
A lovely copy. White pictorial dustwrapper is a little grubby.
