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 custom 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.

In this witty, informative book, Bruce Littlefield takes you on a voyeuristic adventure into homes and lives across America to discover everything we love to buy, sell, and collect--one garage sale at a time. Renting a truck and toting a sack full of a thousand crisp one-dollar bills, Littlefield hunts his way across America from the World's Longest Yard Sale to the World's Biggest Garage Sale--not to mention every barn, stoop, estate, and tag sale in between. Detailed photographs offer an in-depth look at a range of collectibles, while first-person stories from garage salers and expert collectors offer insight to the art of the bargain--with loads of trade secrets thrown in for free. He also shows how to incorporate those unique buys into every room in the home through a virtual walkthrough tour of his 1940s' farmhouse that he decorated with garage sale finds. A month-by-month guide to the best sales around the country and a garage sale glossary round out this entertaining volume that offers fun, sale smarts, and infectious enthusiasm on every page. This is an essential guide not only for the millions of savvy bargain hunters throughout the United States, but for anyone and everyone who simply loves America, its vistas, and its people.
