In the September issue of Motorcyclist, author and photographer Lee Klancher gives a sneak peek into his upcoming book in a feature article titled Motorcycle Dream Garages: An Intimate Look Inside America's Ultimate Man Caves.
You want to be on your motorcycle on the open road—but if you can't, then the next best place is the garage. There old bikes are restored, wild customs come to life, and friendships are made of beer, b.s., and bruised knuckles. These are the garages where this book takes you—from the old firehouse to the lavishly finished tin shed to the plain old two-car attached structure harboring the treasured bike while the family car sits out in the weather. Motorcycle Dream Garages opens the doors to sixteen palaces for two-wheeled work and play, among them a secret one in Chicago housing over one hundred rare and collectible bikes at a location known only to members of an underground club; a converted firehouse in St. Paul; a marble palace in Washington DC; and a variety of luxury motorcycle garages owned by racers and celebrities both in the US and Europe.

Motorbooks began in the Minneapolis garage of founder Thomas Warth in 1965. A native of England and a lifelong automotive aficionado, Warth began a modest automotive book retail business, then known as Classic Motorbooks, in his home because he was unable to find quality car, motorcycle and racing books.
In 1973, Motorbooks began to publish auto-related books of its own, which it distributed along with those of leading publishers from around the world. In 1976, Motorbooks relocated to Osceola, Wisconsin, where the company’s warehouse remains today. Motorbooks International was created in order to wholesale automotive and aviation books, first to specialty bookstores and then to the world’s book trade.
During the 1980s and 1990s the company continued to grow, expanding its own publishing program of books and calendars and providing the highest quality products to enthusiasts in the United States and around the world. Mr. Warth sold the company to the Chronicle Publishing Company of San Francisco in 1989. During Chronicle's ownership, MBI Publishing Company was established as an umbrella group over Classic Motorbooks and Motorbooks International.
In 2000, Motorbooks was acquired by Flagship Partners, Inc. of New York, a private equity investment firm. Operating as MBI Publishing Company LLC, a new phase of growth began. The publishing offices and headquarters were moved to St. Paul, Minnesota and the publishing program further expanded. MBI Publishing Company LLC was acquired by Quayside Publishing Group in 2007 and our headquarters moved to Minneapolis in January 2008.
Today, Motorbooks.com carries the best in books from the leading publishers from around the world - all for the enthusiast. |
