"The Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia Of American Motorcycles" by "Tom Rafferty" is another good resource. Paps

Must haves are Stephen Wrights' American Racer Vol 1 (about to be re released. It is SUPERB.
Also Stephens new (ish) book, History of American Motorcycles (probably got that wrong, but go to Amazon, enter Stephen Wright, and you will find his books).
These are both coffee table types, but are the best books of their type I have ever seen.
Harry Sucher and Jerry Hatfield are also some other authors you should search under.

Hope this helps.

Merry Christmas to you Aldo from Australia.
Ciao

Ken.
