Motorcycles A Love Affair
About
I was ten years old and new to the area when a neighbor boy asked if I had been to the motorcycle range. I hadn't. So off we went on our bicycles, from asphalt to a dirt road and into a canyon. And there it was. The motorcycle range. Men were riding up and down various trails on a large hill. This whole scene that I was taking in changed my life forever. All I could think about after that was motorcycles, and what it would be like to ride up that hill. I can honestly say on that overcast morning in the South Bay of San Diego when I was introduced to the motorcycle range is the day the love affair began. - Steve Kukla

READER REVIEWS
Amazing book. It took me back to my youth growing up in Chula Vista and also the stories my dad would tell me about him and Steve and the other young men riding motorcycles and having wide open canyons to ride in. Great book and even better the Powell mini bike in that book was my actual first two wheel bike I ever owned and learned to ride. How many people can say they know were there first bike is? Great book! - Douglas Pope
I was lucky enough to get to see and read an advance copy of this. You won’t be disappointed, some of the coolest motorcycle builds, every one of these has a great story behind them, each one has a different and unique style, and you can see the love and appreciation in every single one of these beautiful bikes! A must read for anyone who has a love for motorcycles! Thanks so much S&S Off-Road Magazine for a wonderful book!! - Keith Nishiyama
Praise for this book
Great vintage motorcycle book. This book features dozens of vintage motorcycles that have been restored by Steve Kukla. Steve's work is amazing and the stories about each bike are truly interesting. Great photographs show the detail in each bike.
A must for motorcycle enthusiasts! An incredible story of one man's nearly life-long love affair with motorcycles. Fabulous pictures, and stories to go with them. Highly recommended, especially if you are into motorcycle restorations.
