108 pages, 52 black & white illustrations, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Originally published under a similar title The Book of the Rudge, this 1953 Fifth edition is one of The Motorcyclist's Library series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England.
Obviously, while this re-print of the fifth edition is somewhat specific to the 1933-1939 motorcycles, much of the information is also appropriate to earlier Rudge models. As there is so little repair and maintenance data available for these motorcycles, the information included, while not of the detail or level of a technical manual, will be of assistance to any Rudge motorcycle owner. Models that are covered include the: 250cc Tourist, Rapid & Sport and the 500cc Special, Sports Special & Ulster.
This publication has been out-of-print and unavailable for many years and is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market and we are pleased to be able to offer this reprint as a service to all Rudge motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.
