Boy, you know, most of what I have is antique books I've collected. Surprisingly not a lot of information has been collated and put up on the net, though a lot of it was lost in the depression.

Get this book if you want to see some really cool examples of the evolution of the motorcycle: http://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Directory-Classic-American-Motorcycles/dp/0760310505/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1404841796&sr=8-4&keywords=classic+american+motorcycles

Do some searches for 'monowheel' and 'diwheel' and 'orukter amphibolos'. That should set you off on a journey to free you from the confines of the modern four-wheeled sedan.
