Wheels of Her Own
Women used automobiles as soon as they had access to them. Black, Indigenous, and White American women utilized the automobile to improve their quality of life and achieve greater freedom. These women shared unique concerns and common aims as they negotiated their way through a time when advocacy for social change was undergoing a resurgence. The years that brought the automobile to the United States, 1893-1929, also brought increased legal and social restrictions based on racism and gender stereotypes. For women the automobile was a useful tool as they worked to improve their quality of life. The automobile provided a means for Black, Indigenous, and White women to pull away from limitations and work toward greater freedom. Exploring these key issues and more, this book is a history and social exploration of women and the automobile during the early automotive era.

Harmony Express
Thomas Bird found himself in southern China free from any serious commitments. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Honda Workshop Manual 1974-1977 Twin Cylinder 5 & 6 Speed Cb250, Cj250t, Cb360, Cl360, Cb360t & Cj360t
170 pages and more than 450 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This workshop manual is a compilation of 4 original Honda publications. It includes a reproduction of the original 250cc and 360cc twin cylinder 1974 factory workshop manual for both the disc brake and drum brake models, plus 3 factory supplements that cover both the 5 and 6 speed variants, which extends the coverage of the original manual through 1977. The models covered are: CB250, CJ250T, CB360, CL360, CB360T and CJ360T.Many of the earlier Honda motorcycle models were often introduced at different times and in different countries using different model names or designations. For example, the CB 250 was predominantly sold in the European market and not officially available in the USA. However, the 360cc models were available in both Europe and the USA.Unfortunately, this often leads to difficulty in selecting the correct workshop manual and owners of this series of 250cc and 360cc twins are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of OEM publications that have recently flooded the on-line marketplace. This confusion is compounded by the fact that Honda used both 5 and 6 speed transmissions within the 1974 to 1977 production run of the 250/360 series. Owners of the 1968-1973 twin cylinder 5-speed 250cc and 350cc models are directed to our Honda factory workshop manual, ISBN 9781588502612. Owners of the 1961-1968 twin cylinder 250cc and 305cc C72 & C77 series will require our Honda factory workshop manual, ISBN 9781588500731.Finally, please note that the text in the original Honda Factory Workshop Manual was translated from Japanese into English. Consequently, some of the phrasing, grammar, punctuation and word usage may be subtly different from that commonly used in the English language. However the information, as presented, is readily understandable. In addition, while we have done our best to identify any anomalies, errors and incorrect spelling that may have occurred during the original translation process, we are certain that we will have missed one or two and we request your indulgence in ignoring them.

The Lost Subways of North America
A visual exploration of the transit histories of twenty-three US and Canadian cities. Every driver in North America shares one miserable, soul-sucking universal experience--being stuck in traffic. But things weren't always like this. Why is it that the mass transit systems of most cities in the United States and Canada are now utterly inadequate? The Lost Subways of North America offers a new way to consider this eternal question, with a strikingly visual--and fun--journey through past, present, and unbuilt urban transit. Using meticulous archival research, cartographer and artist Jake Berman has successfully plotted maps of old train networks covering twenty-three North American metropolises, ranging from New York City's Civil War-era plan for a steam-powered subway under Fifth Avenue to the ultramodern automated Vancouver SkyTrain and the thousand-mile electric railway system of pre-World War II Los Angeles. He takes us through colorful maps of old, often forgotten streetcar lines, lost ideas for never-built transit, and modern rail systems--drawing us into the captivating transit histories of US and Canadian cities. Berman combines vintage styling with modern printing technology to create a sweeping visual history of North American public transit and urban development. With more than one hundred original maps, accompanied by essays on each city's urban development, this book presents a fascinating look at North American rapid transit systems.
