Kurzbeschreibung
Piet Boonstra has ridden motorcycles for almost a million miles, much of it in competition that has spanned seven decades. This book begins with his purchase of a new 1947 Harley 74OHV for riding on the road. Soon afterward he stripped it down to compete in an enduro. To riders of modern off-road machines, this seems incredible, but it really wasn't so unusual at the time. He later moved to a lightweight two-stroke Harley Hummer, and then to a Villiers-powered 250cc DMW. He eventually settled on the 500cc Triumph. The book describes how he went on to win the New England Enduro Grand Championship in 1966, followed by winning the heavyweight championship at the famed Canadian National Corduroy Enduro. Throughout his career he has collected over 200 awards, many of which were as high-point rider. By Boonstra's reckoning, he has lived through the greatest era of American off-road riding, a period that he calls the "golden age of enduros."

Best motorcycle-related book I ever read.

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The guys like Piet Boonstra rarely live long enough or looking back to put out a book like this! Great reading and a great person! He lost licence for speeding in 1940s and took his passion off-road and raced Harleys in the woods in first Enduros. (See his other book on adventure touring). Great book from real person who has been there and done that and with some authentic photos.

Poorly written on low quality paper with only a few fuuzy photos, but it is not about the presentation, it's about the material. Most books today are written in cookie cutter fashion by the same authors again and again. The Golden Age of Enduros is a first hand account of how the sport started here in the USA by an interesting rider who was there. The American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation rcognizes that artifacts survive, but our heros of the sport have knowledge that is easily lost with time. This book is a priceless relic that will probably be printed only one time, so buy enough now to give to friends and family who will enjoy it.
