His rock band had just split up, he'd left his job as the editor of a lifestyle magazine and his girlfriend disappeared from his life. Seeking the tonic of travel, Bird hit the railroad with a plan... to explore The People's Republic of China by train. The country was in the midst of a railway building boom the likes of which the world has never seen, and Bird was poised to make China Railways his muse. One year morphed into several as Bird whizzed from high-tech Shenzhen to colonial Xiamen at high-speed; "flew" into Shanghai aboard a Maglev; chugged through rural Sichuan Province aboard an old steam locomotive and traversed the "third pole" en route to Lhasa. Putting the people he meets front and center, Bird delivers a portrait of an era, as he grapples to comprehend an inscrutable land undergoing breakneck change.

Harley-Davidson Performance Bagger
The first motorcycle that you can call a Bagger showed up in the show rooms in 1980.That new frame was longer, and the motor and transmission were mounted on rubber mounts. Those first Baggers came with Shovels, followed by Evos, but no one called those Performance Baggers. The Twin Cam motors came next, and they were definitely faster, but the phrase Performance Bagger still didn't come into use until the M8 came on the scene. This book brings you a detailed look at these new M-8 Baggers, and the Twin Cams that proceeded. The book includes interviews with people like Rick Ward and Bert Baker. Builders who spent a lifetime getting more horsepower and improving the drivetrain. For advice on brakes and suspension, we have information from the staff of Beringer and Ohlins. In addition to the techs and experts, the bulk of the pages are filled with pictures and the story of true Performance Baggers owned by regular riders - on Road Glide and Street Glide. Each of those stories cover the motors, the drivetrain and the chassis. Some went all the way with a 143 cubic inch M-8 with a blower, motors well over 200 horsepower. Other owners simply installed bigger jugs, ported heads, a good dyno run and settled for something like 140 or 150 horses. The same goes with the chassis: new shocks and replaced (or upgraded) fork assemblies. For brakes maybe they install new front rotors and retain the factory calipers or replace all the components. What they did or didn't do is a lesson to readers in all the possible modifications. Written by Timothy Remus with help with experienced builders and experienced owners, H-D Performance Bagger is a high-quality guide for anyone with a late model Bagger or plans to buy that new Bagger.
Landy's Dodges
This is a print on demand (POD) book with color photos. The paper and photo quality in this book, although good, often does not match the original version but the information remains the same. The cars and career of legendary drag racing driver "Dandy" Dick Landy take the spotlight in this book, which includes images from the Landy family's archive, personal stories and track results.Chrysler racing historian and author Geoff Stunkard presents this highly detailed account of the cars of Dick's career from piloting his first mount (a 1954 Ford pickup) through his historic years of campaigning Dodges. In addition to coverage of Dick's 1964 S/S Dodge and 1968 Hemi Dart, scarce information about his Ford Galaxies and Plymouth Savoy is included. One of the greatest innovators of his time, Dick Landy was one of those guys who made you rush back to your seat from the concessions stand so you could watch him navigate the 1320. Win, lose, or draw, watching one of Landy's Dodges battling the likes of Ronnie Sox, "Grumpy" Jenkins, or Hubert Platt was worth the price of admission alone. At no other time has Landy's entire career been chronicled and cataloged in print with this much attention to detail. Sit back in your recliner (wheels up) and enjoy the most comprehensive book on the history of "Dandy" Dick Landy and his cars.
NORTON 1945-1963 SINGLE CYLINDER S.V. & O.H.V. 16H, Big 4, 18, ES2, 19R, 19S, & 50 WORKSHOP MANUALS & ILLUSTRATED PARTS LISTS
302 pages, and more than 135 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of 7 Norton factory publications specific to the 1945-1963 single-cylinder S.V. and O.H.V. 16H, Big4, 18, ES2, 19R, 19S & 50 models.Workshop Manuals included are: (1) pages extracted from the 16H WD manual dealing with the maintenance and overhaul of girder forks as they are appropriate to the 1945-1946 models (2) a compilation of both the 1947 and 1956 16H, Big 4, 18 and ES2 workshop manuals for the S.V. and O.H.V. 'Road-holder' forks, spring frame (plunger) models (3) a 1956 manual for the O.H.V. swing-arm 19S, ES2 & 50 models and (4) pages extracted from the 1970 manual that are appropriate for the 1958-1963 ES2 & 50.Illustrated Parts Lists included are: (5) a 1948-1949 parts list for the 'Road-holder' forks, spring frame (plunger) 16H, Big4, 18 & ES2 (this parts list also includes the 1946-1949 30, 40, 30M & 40M) (6) a 1956 parts list for the swing-arm ES2, 19S & 50 and the rigid frame 19R and (7) a 1959 parts list for the ES2 &50 (this parts list also includes the 88 & 99 twins).A GUIDE TO THE POSTWAR 1945 THROUGH 1963 NORTON WORKSHOP MANUALS AND PARTS LISTS FOR THE SINGLE CYLINDER 16H, Big 4, 18, 19R, 19S, 50 & ES2.After the war ended in 1945, Norton resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles and they also began publishing appropriate workshop manuals and parts lists. Unfortunately, there were numerous 'editions' of these publications and, while they identified the models they covered, the workshop manuals rarely identified the years they covered. Ultimately, this can lead to confusion regarding the selection of the appropriate publication for a particular year of Norton motorcycle.WORKSHOP MANUALS: Those published from 1945 up through 1960 were normally exclusive to a specific model. However, beginning in the 1960's, a series of workshop manuals were published that combined the data for both the single and twin cylinder models. Starting with part number P101, followed by P106 and finally P106/P this series of manuals was updated at various times through 1970, however, they continued to include the ES2 and 50 singles. When the 250cc Jubilee twin was introduced in 1958, the earlier 'P' series 'combination' workshop manuals were 'superseded' by the publication of a 1960-1970 factory 'Lightweight & Heavyweight Twins' manual, obviously, the single cylinder machines were no longer included. Owners of the single cylinder models may also find our 'Book of the Norton 1932-1947' (ISBN 9781588501288), 'Book of the Norton 1938-1956' (ISBN 9781588502063) and 'Book of the Norton 1955-1963' (ISBN 9781588501196) to be of interest.IMPORTANT NOTE: Many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb bound photocopies that are scanned and published complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned'. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years of motorcycles. However, VelocePress.com has been publishing reprints of motorcycle and automobile manuals since 2003 and our publications have earned excellent reviews worldwide so you can be assured you are purchasing a quality product.
ROYAL ENFIELD 1952-1963 700cc METEOR700, SUPER METEOR & CONSTELLATION FACTORY WORKSHOP MANUALS
206 pages and more than 180 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is appropriate for the entire line of 1952 through 1963 Royal Enfield 700cc models. It will also be of use to owners of the 700cc USA (only) Interceptor and the Enfield Indian 700cc Apache, Trailblazer and Chief. A compilation of two factory manuals, it includes the original 1955 'Meteor 700' workshop manual for the 1952 to 1955 models and the later workshop manual for the 1955 to 1963 'Super Meteor' and 'Constellation'. PRODUCTION DETAILS: Due to a number of different reasons, there is some confusion surrounding production details, as it is a known fact that the engine and frame numbering procedure did not follow a consistent pattern and, at times, was somewhat random.As the 'Meteor 700' shared many of its mechanical components with the '500 Twin', the earlier manual is appropriate for both of these models. Royal Enfield was very adept at utilizing components across their entire model line and this 'sharing' carried over into their workshop manuals. Consequently, many of the sections and illustrations are identified as being appropriate for various models and not necessarily specific to the particular model referenced in the manual title. The second manual is much more specific to the 'Super Meteor' and 'Constellation' models and the only noticeable 'shared' pages are the carburetter settings table and the lighting, frame and special tools sections. In order to help identify the subtle differences between the various models, the reader is encouraged to review any of the appropriate sections in order to eliminate the possibility of referencing an incorrect 'shared' section.
Wheels within Wheels
Wheels within Wheels is not about the wheels which drive your local bus, but the hidden wheels which have run Sydney's buses for many years: The wheels of politics - because transport has always been influenced by politicians, and not always for the right reasons.The wheels of money - because too often public funds have been spent on unworthy causes.But not all politicians made wrong decisions, and not all money invested in Sydney's buses was wasted.Wheels within Wheels is the history of how Sydney's bus services developed and changed over six decades, including the story of how one bus owner stood up to the government, won five court cases in a row and got the law changed.

It does not include repair data for the 750cc Atlas or the AMC variants (see IMPORTANT NOTE Below).

Save Efficient Internet For Smart Transportation
Lately, the number of vehicles and the miles they are driven have increased at a faster pace [2]. Traffic congestion has been a big problem and is likely to climb further in the near future. In 2018 alone, 1.35 million people died due to road accidents [3]. So, an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) has been a necessity to provide timely safety and other traffic information to the vehicles. With the rapid advancement in vehicular technologies, communication technologies, smart sensors, ML and others, it is believed that smart autonomous vehicles will solve the existing transportation problems. Major contributors to the transportation problems like congestion and accidents are human errors and ambiguity. IOV capable of sensing the environment and communicating with neighbouring vehicles and infrastructures to exchange every bit of required information for safe navigation, detecting hurdles, optimising routes and others on-the-fly, offers a true potential to realise ITS for effective traffic management and road safety [4]. ION has been an active area of research to envision as a solution to achieve an intelligent transport system (ITS) for the past few decades.
