My first crush wasn’t a person—it was a motorcycle. I was 24 years old when I fell for a ’78 Sanglas 400F, a Spanish classic that had belonged to my father. By then, it had spent its last days under a dingy blanket, consumed by dust and nibbled by mice.
Determined to give it a second chance, I dove into restoring it. There was just one problem: I didn’t know a thing about mechanics.
Back then, I would have given anything for someone to sit down with me and explain how that motorcycle worked—its parts, its quirks, and how to fix the issues keeping it silent. Most of all, I craved an explanation in plain, simple words I could actually understand.
No matter how hard I looked, all I found were overly technical manuals or conflicting advice that left me more confused than before.
That’s why I wrote this book: to explain how motorcycles work, to guide you through their parts and teach you about common breakdowns and their solutions—but always in a friendly, conversational way.
I won’t bog you down with jargon you can easily Google. Instead, I’ll walk you through the basic mechanics of a motorcycle step by step, using words anyone can follow.
We’ll start from scratch, covering the simplest elements, and work our way to the final bolt worth knowing. Writing this book has taught me just as much as repairing and restoring bikes has, and it’s an honor to share that journey with you now.
I hope it lives up to your expectations.
Let’s dive in. Let’s get to work.
