If you’ve been around motorcycles, or motorcycle enthusiasts, long enough, chances are you’ve heard a story or two of a dream machine that remained hidden for years until one day, it was rediscovered and later returned to its former glory. Maybe you’ve even got a story like that. If you love telling your tale or listening to others share their stories, then you’ll probably enjoy reading The Harley in the Barn, More Great Tales of Motorcycle Archaeology.

Written by Tom Cotter—who is a passionate historian, collector, racer and restorer of vintage vehicles from North Carolina—The Harley in the Barn is a collection of short stories about rare motorcycle finds. Although the title suggests it’s more for the Harley-Davidson fan, this book includes over 40 stories, which are accompanied by colourful photos, of classic Harleys as well as Hondas, Indians and Triumphs. The author’s own passion for seeking out and discovering abandoned motorcycles is evident in the way he tells each story, making The Harley in the Barn an interesting read for even the introductory motorcycle fan like myself.

The Harley in the Barn is published by Motorbooks and it is available at Chapters and Indigo locations across Canada. It is also available on Amazon.
