Ducati Bevel Twins

‘Offers that expert second opinion that we often need when faced with a prospective purchase. Ian has owned every incarnation of Bevel Twin over the last 40 years and has restored more than 30, this at the very least is enough to consider him an expert however his knowledge goes way deeper than that … goes through the standard checks we should always cover when buying bikes and is a great reminder to take a step back and not let emotions get the better of us. For a small ‘pocket book’ it also contains a lot of detail around he models and the finer points to consider with each.’ Desmophiles

Ian Falloon was born in New Zealand in 1952 and studied engineering and music at Victoria University, Wellington. After a career as a symphony orchestra oboist was brought to an end by a motorcycle accident he began writing articles about motorcycles for magazines. His first book, The Ducati Story, has run to several editions and has been published in three languages. The success of The Ducati Story led to a series of Ducati books and histories of Honda, Kawasaki, BMW, and Moto Guzzi motorcycles. He has now written many books about motorcycles, mostly historical but also restoration guides. With an interest and passion spanning decades he now concentrates on collecting and restoring older Italian motorcycles, particularly Ducati, MV Agusta, Laverda, and Moto Guzzi. Ian Falloon lives in Australia, and is ably supported in his projects by his wife Miriam and sons Ben and Tim.
