Abstract

The history of automobiles in the world has been closely linked to the churnings in contemporary societies and upheavals in the field of literature, fine arts, architecture, politics and of course, engineering and technology. The author has tried to explore these linkages by scanning the technological developments in the area of motorcycle evolutionary process. This chapter talks about motorcycles, their history and evolution in relation to their semantics and their cross-cultural significance.
