{"product_id":"the-scott-motorcycle","title":"The Scott Motorcycle","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy: Jeff Clew .\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Scott motorcycle is special, very special.\u003cbr\u003e Conceived at the beginning of the century by a single-minded Yorkshire inventor, they have never failed to draw a crowd. Alfred Angas Scott invented the vertical two-stroke twin, and then placed his engine in an open frame machine; thus the Scott motorcycle was born. From then on, for nearly seventy years, men have held these motorcycles in high esteem. There is no other motorcycle like a Scott.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are definable and indefinable qualities in a Scott. It is beautiful, well built and smooth but it also has this aura, a certain mystery which brings out a love\/hate relationship in any owner. Nevertheless, once `bitten' by the `magic', a Scott enthusiast never wavers. Whatever one's standpoint, this motorcycle cannot fail to induce some reaction. `The Bugatti of Motor-cycles' perhaps does most justice to an understanding of the marque.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a book about the man, the machines, the factory – its successes and failures, the racing results, the Scott Trial and the efforts of dedicated men today to keep alive this `special' thing that is a Scott motorcycle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJeff Clew is undoubtedly one of Britain's leading motorcycle historians. An enthusiast throughand-through, he has not only written many books on the world's classic motorcycles and characters from the industry but has also been a contributor to several magazines, a concours judge and lecturer. Still an active rider, he continues to work as a freelance journalist and writes regularly for Old Bike Mart.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eOther Details\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePublisher Code:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eF164\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e0854291644\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePublished:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e2004\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e175x235mm\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePages:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e239\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eHard Bound, b\/w ill\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e9780854291649\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Haynes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47627861000412,"sku":"9780854291649","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/b10120_scott_motorcycle__23691.1339460290.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772084879","url":"https:\/\/automotobookshop.com.au\/products\/the-scott-motorcycle","provider":"Automoto Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
