Big Sid's Vincati Hardback - 2009
de Biberman, Matthew
A father and sonbuild a legendarymotorcycle and,along the way,reconstruct theirrelationship in thismoving memoir
When his father had a near-fatal heart attack and gaveup the will to live, Matthew Biberman panicked. Impulsively,Matthew promised his father, an expert motorcycle mechanic, thatthey would build a Vincati motorcycle together. The Loch Nessmonster of motorcycles, a Vincati-half Vincent, half Ducati-had never been completed in North America. Building a Vincatiwas considered, at best, a fool's errand; at worst, an expensive wasteof motorcycle parts.
But for nearly sixty years, "Big Sid" Biberman was themechanic to see to refurbish and repair motorcycles, especiallyBritish-made Vincents. If anyone could build a Vincati, it was BigSid. Despite sharing his father's passion for motorcycles, his sonMatthew lacked Big Sid's mechanical gift, gave up on tools, andbecame a Shakespearean scholar. As adults, father and son barelyspoke. But after his father's brush with death, Matthew vowed tolearn the techniques that had made Big Sid a legend among bikers.Reminiscent of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, BigSid's Vincati is an irresistible combination of step-by-step motorcycleconstruction mixed with a powerful story of fathers and sons, andshows not only how the Bibermans built their Vincati (which wasfeatured in Cycle World and Classic Bike) but also how the two menreconstructed their relationship, one motorcycle part at a time.
