Author of BIG SID’S VINCATI: The Story of a Father, a Son, and the Motorcycle of a Lifetime
Matthew Biberman: Father and Son motorcycle
Motorcyclists have been waiting for over thirty-five years for a classic bike book like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. That wait is now over. In BIG SID’S VINCATI, readers get a mix of motorcycle lore, step-by-step construction and a heartwarming account of a father and son reconstructing their relationship, one motorcycle part at a time. When Matthew’s father suffered a near-fatal heart attack, Matthew impulsively promised his father that together they would build a Vincati—the grand-daddy of all motorcycles, half Vincent and half Ducati. If anyone could build a Vincati, Matthew knew his father, “Big Sid”, could do it. He was a legend among bikers. McQueen, Leno, anybody really serious about bikes had sought out Big Sid.
Jay Leno praises the book, saying: “If you believe it is possible to fall in love with a motorcycle, you will love this book. It’s a guy’s romance novel with mystery, adventure, and real passion.” Legendary musician Mark Knopfler, the former Dire Straits frontman, calls the book “an open handed classic . . . with a heart as big as a Vincent V-twin motor.”
