Overview

When author David Wittlinger decided to get an old motorcycle to fix up he didn't have any particular model in mind. The criteria were minimal: it had to be simple, inexpensive and look like a proper motorcycle. When he came across a broken down Royal Enfield Bullet 500 he found what he was looking for. A motorcycle with a unique history, his particular example had an endless list of maladies--most thanks to the dreaded 'previous owner'.As the list of repairs grew in concert with his credit card balance Wittlinger learned a lot about motorcycle mechanics and about a unique brand of machine he jokingly describes as Designed by the British, built in India and broken by Americans . As the first attempt at starting the repaired bike nears, Wittlinger confesses to a growing affection for the design and engineering despite its shortcomings and dated technology. In this revised and expanded second edition Wittlinger is sent another Bullet from a friend to resurrect and sell. As with the first bike, little goes as planned. 'Dodging Bullets' is a book that can be enjoyed equally by marque enthusiasts and those who like following a journey of mechanical restoration that isn't taken too seriously.
