Journalist Sabine Welte united her favorite featured extreme bikes in a book called ... Extreme Bikes. It's a must-have for everyone who's interested in heavily modified bikes. The book is in German language; an English and Spanish version are planned. The black beauty you see on the cover is the heavily restyled V-Max made by the French designer Lazareth; I'm a big fan of his bikes.

Sabine is not only a gifted journalist but a very good photographer as well. And a fanatical circuit racer. We're close friends for over four years and visited lots of events together in Germany, Holland, Belgium and Spain.
