Metal as Functional Sculpture

For many years a motorcycle was my primary source of transportation. Whenever I see a particularly attractive bike zip past I think about owning one again. Recently, a patron emailed inquiring about a particular motorcycle repair manual. His request sent me rooting through the library’s collection of motorcycle related material. What I found was quite pleasing. Perhaps you too will feel the same way and decide to take a ride of a different sort.
