The Motor Cyclist’s Handbook 1911 By Phoenix Chas S Lake Republished 2012

Please be so kind as to advise your VMCC members about The Motor Cyclist's Handbook 1911 which I have republished as a high quality hardback book. Feedback so far has been amazing and two VMCC members have told me that they have solved long standing problems after consulting the book. One of the guys who solved the problem with his bike was a Rover Rider who stopped me to tell me about it at the Banbury Run.

thanks, Steve
