Publisher's Synopsis
FIRST EDITION. SECOND EDITION with photos now available. "After reading Modern Motorcycle Mechanics by J.B. Nicholson multiple times, I had spent countless hours rebuilding the engine, painting, creating various cables for the clutch, throttle, choke, spark advance, and front brake. I was now ready for the moment of truth." Working on the family farm in the middle of the North Dakota prairie to fulfill his dreams, Dwight is continuously plagued by misfortunes. Will he be able to succeed? In this humorous memoir, the reader is returned to the nostalgia of the 1950s and '60s and experiences first-hand the triumphs and tragedies of a growing boy during an era of mechanical discoveries. Through entrepreneurial innovations and hilarious situations involving motorcycles, tractors, toys - and even the kitchen sink - he learns valuable lessons that last him a lifetime.
