BowTie Press, 2008

Great
Great reading for an old motorcyclist who did not keep up with the times. Things are different from 25 years ago and the messages were simple to get and practice. The goal of a safer and smarter rider was laid out in a very straightforward manner and appears ...

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values (P.S.)

Robert M. Pirsig

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2008

Couldn't put it down.
This was a thought provocing and very enjoyable read. Although it isn't "action packed" or anything, that isn't the point. The author's naration tells the tale of his philosophical journey cross country with his son on his motorcyle. Not only was this book ...

Long Way Down: An Epic Journey by Motorcycle from Scotland to South Africa

Ewan McGregor, Charley Boorman

Atria, 2008

A travel story
A travel story. Short on drama and suspense but a lot of description of lands and peoples. Little talk about motorcycles even though they had some difficulties that could have added some interest. I enjoyed it for what it is.

The Harley-Davidson Motor Co. Archive Collection

Darwin Holmstrom

Motorbooks, 2008

Wonderful Collection of Photographs
First of all, Amazon's photograph of this item is misleading. The book is 12" wide and 10 1/2" tall. This is important, because the wide format allows the numerous full-page photographs of the motorcycles to be viewed in the proper perspective. Secondly, the ...

William Queen

Ballantine Books, 2007

Wow!
I was on a plane and the guy next to me saw my Kindle and asked me about it. We then began to talk about books and he recommended this one to me. WOW! Who knew? I swear, I never knew how criminal they really were. I even grew up a in Daytona Beach, FL and thought ...

The Mouse and the Motorcycle

Beverly Cleary

HarperTrophy, 1990

Plot! Character! Action!
This book is a rare treasure, perfectly pitched to read aloud to my five-year-old boys. First, it's a lovely tale, perfectly combining gentle, humourous real world observation (hotels, vacuum cleaners) with just enough fantasy elements to keep childish imagination ...

Honor Few, Fear None: The Life and Times of a Mongol

Ruben Cavazos

William Morrow, 2008

Mongols MC go Madison Avenue
I guess it was only a matter of time before the Mongols MC, similar to Sonny Barger and the Hells Angels MC, embarked upon a public relations campaign of their own. In "Respect Few, Fear None" Mongols MC president Ruben "Doc" Cavazos presents his side of the story ...

Riding on the Edge: A Motorcycle Outlaw's Tale

John Hall

Motorbooks, 2008

Superb Effort
"Riding on the Edge" is, IMHO, the finest work of 1%er biker literature on the stands today. Written by an Old School biker and original member of the Pagans MC, this is a thoughtful, respectful and captivating story of what it was like to be a 1960s motorcycle ...

Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance

Lennard Zinn

VeloPress, 2005

Great Book
I bought this book for my husband who is a mountain biking nutter. He just loves it, can't get his head out of it. We would definately recommend this book to anyone who is interested in repairing/maintaining your mountain bike.

Long Way Round: Chasing Shadows Across the World

Ewan McGregor, Charley Boorman

Atria, 2005

Great book
Great book that should be a companion to the DVD set. I do recommend that instead of this book you buy the illustrated edition. MOre pictures and the same verbage. But, buy at least one of them.
