Full bound black cloth hardcover with gilt lettering to the spine. Clean inside and out, with no writing or other marks. Binding is solid and square. Collects numerous articles by Irving based on long experience in designing, constructing, riding and writing about motorcycles in Australia and overseas. From the front flap: "Following the success of Rich Mixture, another volume of Phil Irving's erudite articles has been published in similar vein. Once again, the man recognized as the world's leading technical writer covers engine design, brakes, steering, carburation, etc with plenty of anecdotes thrown in to enrich the mixture." And Irving notes in the Introduction: "As most of you who read this sorry of book will undoubtedly know, running an engine with a rock mixture will usually cause the exhaust pipe to emit black smoke. With black smoke coming after a rich mixture, it would seem obvious (to me anyway) that a follow-up book to last year's "Rich Mixture" should be titled "Black Smoke".".

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Softcover, some shelfwear, light foxing on edge block, in Very Good condition. Fifth printing, pp330, b&w illustrations, index. This is a faithful reproduction of the 1962 Floyd Clymer U.S.A. Edition of the same title. While the primary focus of this publication utilizes 1960's and prior motorcycles as examples, the reader is reminded that engineering theory and the laws of physics do not change and as such, the information it contains is still relevant today. Consequently, this publication is indispensible to those either contemplating modification to a current model or the construction of a 'special' for any form of motorcycle competition. Predominantly a technical work, it is written in terms easily understood by the layman. While it includes geometry and math formulae the reader will be aptly rewarded if they take a moment to comprehend the significance of the examples. Consequently, 'Motorcycle Engineering' is considered by many knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiasts to be the best book ever written on how to construct, improve, modify and fine tune a motorcycle from the 'ground up'.
