Lester Morris is Australia's longest-serving, and probably the most published, specialist motorcycle writer in the country, with most of his peers considering him to be 'iconic', or even 'legendary'.
His first articles, on simple maintenance and safety, were published in REVS Motorcycle News (paper) in 1968; followed for the next 50 years by test reports of new models, Classic motorcycles, race reports, and a series of humorous columns published in eighteen of Australia's top-selling motorcycle magazines.
From 1948 he spent over 20 years in the trade; his first book, Motorcycling in Australia, was published by McMillan in 1976. Lester is also a noted race commentator, often featuring as an expert motorcycle compere on 'Torque', a 1970s National TV Motoring programme.
Vintage Morris: Tall Tales but True from a Lifetime in Motorcycling, Volume 2 is the second volume of Lester Morris's 'many-and-various' - and often hilarious - experiences in the fascinating motorcycle industry, both in Australia and overseas.

Lester Morris is the longest serving, and probably the most published, specialist motorcycle writer in Australia, with most of his peers considering him to be 'iconic', or even 'legendary'. His articles, on simple maintenance and safety, were first published in REVS Motorcycle News (paper) in 1968; followed for the next 50 years by test reports of new models, classic motorcycles, race reports, and a series of humorous columns published in 18 of Australia's top selling motorcycle magazines.
From 1948 he spent over twenty years in the trade; his first book, Motorcycling in Australia, published by McMillan in
1976. Lester is also a noted race commentator, often featuring as an expert motorcycle compere on Torque, a 1970s

His books, Vintage Morris: Tall Tales but True from a Lifetime in Motorcycling, volumes 1 and 2, are just that, memoirs of his 'many-and-various' - often hilarious - experiences in the fascinating motorcycle industry.
