tuning for speed

[mischiefdart]

I have this cool old book titled "tuning for speed" by Phil Irving. I was looking on line to find a used copy to give to a buddy of mine who is way into old British bikes. Every used copy on Amazon was $499 or more! Described as the most desirable motorcycle tuning book in history. I bought my copy new about 14 years ago for maybe $40 Have to look up some values on more of my old books.

Wow, I just looked around also. I found them as high as 500 bucks.

On a side note I found this:

It looks to be an original copy (154 pages) scanned and is free for download. Maybe your buddy could just download it and save it to his computer. I just saved a copy to my external hard drive for future reference.

It is a really cool book with loads of information that can be used on any engine. I like having a copy but will suggest he downloads one.

All I can say is, OMG!
I have a copy in very good shape from the early 60's that my father bought new.
