The Vincent in the Barn: Great Stories of Motorcycle Archaeology
It’s every motorcyclist’s dream. A friend or acquaintance says, “You know, there’s an old bike that’s been sitting in this garage for years.” The hunt is on.

The third book in Cotter’s series of ____In the Barn books, this collection of stories is a nice twist on the original concept delivered by The Cobra in the Barn. These are rich stories that will keep you coming back again and again to relive the thrill of discovery that come with finding these ancient motorcycles entombed somewhere. This book lives proudly on my automotive bookshelf.

If you’re an old bike nut, and even if you’re not, you will enjoy this book. It is a collection of short stories about the hunt for that proverbial “barn find” in which motorcycle enthusiasts either hunt for leads, are pointed to, or, stumble upon some old bikes that need new homes.
This easy reading book is a mix of adventure, history and personal experiences from different parts of the country, and, the world.

What a great book! What a great collection of stories! My newest motorcycle is a 24 year old BMW, purchased new. If you believe, as I, that the best motorcycles have already been built, you will not be able to put this book down! Nicely illustrated; well researched, elegantly written, the stuff that classic motorcycle dreams are made of. Highly recommended. Enjoy!!

this book is quite well done. it is interesting and holds the attention throughout, even though i had read some of the stories elsewhere, perhaps the now-defunct old bike journal. i only wish that there were more stories from other contributors, as several are from just a few writers. stories of the long chase, the patient sleuthing, the leg work, disapointments and rewards are the best. this book is of the hard-to-put-down type, so don’t expect to read a story or two. this one has earned a permanent place in the bookshelf.
