About the Author

Ian Falloon was born in New Zealand and studied engineering and music at Victoria University, Wellington. After a motorcycle accident brought an end to his career as a symphony orchestra oboist, he began writing articles about motorcycles for magazines including Classic Bike, Cycle World, Motorcyclist, Two Wheels, Motorcycle Sport, and Australian Motorcycle News. His first book, The Ducati Story, has run to several editions and has been published in three languages. The success of The Ducati Story led to a series of Ducati books and histories of Honda, Kawasaki, BMW, and Moto Guzzi motorcycles, including Motorbooks titles The Complete Book of Ducati, The Complete Book of Moto Guzzi, The Complete Book of Triumph Motorcycles, and The Art of Ducati. With an interest and passion spanning decades, Ian now concentrates on collecting and restoring older Italian motorcycles, particularly Ducati, MV Agusta, Laverda, and Moto Guzzi. He lives in Melbourne, Australia, and is ably supported in his projects by his family.

Editorial Reviews

"Whether you're a Ducati owner or just a dreamer, you're going to want a copy of this beauty. But just beware that whatever you're riding now might suddenly seem very tame."

—Maxim

"anyone passionate about the marque will be glued to the pages for hours."—Rider Magazine

"Pretty pictures, even ones that show intricate and interesting details like in this book are nothing without context, but Falloon doesn’t disappoint here either, presenting each bike with a block of pertinent facts, figures, specifications, as well as a load of well-researched history. If you’re a Ducati rider or even just an aficionado, you’ll like this book."—Petrolicious
