Overview

A Lifetime on Two Wheels - From 1949 to Today At over eighty years of age, Robert Moon looks back on a remarkable lifetime spent in the company of motorcycles. What began as a spark of fascination at nine years old grew into a lifelong passion-one that shaped his friendships, his skills, and his understanding of the world around him. In this warm, engaging memoir, Moon revisits the machines that defined each era of his life. From the simple, home-repair-friendly bikes of post-war Britain to the increasingly complex machines of the modern age, he reflects on what made each motorcycle unforgettable-its quirks, its character, and its place in his personal journey. Growing up when new bikes were scarce and most riders had to be skilled fixers, Moon paints a vivid picture of a time when roadside breakdowns often ended in camaraderie rather than frustration. Fellow riders stopped to help, tools came out, and friendships were forged beside the road. Spanning the years from 1949 to the 2020s, this collection of stories captures not just the evolution of motorcycles, but the evolution of motorcycling itself-a journey filled with nostalgia, humour, challenges, and deep affection for the machines that accompanied him through life. Whether you're a lifelong rider, a vintage motorcycle enthusiast, or simply someone who loves heartfelt personal stories, this book offers a rich and memorable ride through decades of motorcycling history.
