The Best of Peter Egan from Cycle World Magazine |
Peter
Egan |
John
Enama, Beginner Bikes: The best thing about Egan is that
he's one of us -- not some intellectual snob, or jargon-filled
engineer, but a true enthusiast, a lover of all that makes
motorcycles, and motorcycling, great. He writes from the heart,
in a witty, engaging style that's both poignant and entertaining.

A
Twist Of The Wrist |
Keith
Code
Eddie Lawson |
A
Twist Of The Wrist is the worlds number one step by step,
easy to use manual that tells the motorcycle rider-novice
or veteran, cruiser to sportbike rider-everything he needs
to successfully improve his riding. This book contains the
very foundation skills for any rider who wishes more confidence
with cornering a motorcycle. |

A
Twist Of The Wrist 2 |
Keith
Code |
From
Library Journal: The thrill of motorcycle racing tugs
at the heartstrings of anyone who own a Harley, Honda, Yamaha,
or any other cycle. Since most individuals do not have access
to a racetrack, this enthusiasm results in far too many accidents,
some fatal, on public streets. Code writes for those who do
have access to tracks where riding techniques can be perfected.
He has many years of racing behind him, and his earlier popular
handbook, A Twist of the Wrist: The Motorcycle Road Racers
Handbook ( LJ 3/1/83), is the classic guide to rider improvement.
Here, he employs down-to-earth questions, answers, and examples
of high-performance riding. The excellent illustrations and
margin notes are useful. Both beginning and advanced racers
will find this an excellent book. Highly recommended for libraries
with a motorcyclist clientele.

Ghost
Rider: Travels on the Healing Road |
Neil
Peart |
In
less than a year, Neil Peart lost both his 19-year-old daughter,
Selena, and his wife, Jackie. Faced with overwhelming sadness
and isolated from the world in his home on the lake, Peart
was left without direction. This memoir tells of the sense
of loss and directionlessness that led him on a 55,000-mile
journey by motorcycle across much of North America, down through
Mexico to Belize, and back again. He had needed to get away,
but had not really needed a destination. His travel adventures
chronicle his personal odyssey and include stories of reuniting
with friends and family, grieving, thinking, and reminiscing
as he rode until he encountered the miracle that allowed him
to find peace. |

Hell's
Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels
Motorcycle Club |
Sonny
Barger |
Barger,
king of the chopper pilots, road variety, is an American icon,
and his life story is a history of the biker lifestyle. As
president of the Oakland chapter of the Hell's Angels, he
has seen and survived hassles with the police, peaceniks,
and the Rolling Stones, with their "prissy clothes and
makeup" --all of which he recounts. He notes fine points,
such as the fact that it was Emmett Grogan, of the radical
egalitarian Diggers, who suggested that the Angels work security
at the Stones'... |

Ridin'
High, Livin' Free : Hell-Raising Motorcycle Stories
|
Ralph
"Sonny" Barger |
From
AudioFile: A notorious biker and two ghostwriters present
tales--some true, some not, some embellished--of the open
road and outlaw life. Lurid romance, violence, and rough humor
come packaged in a style meant to represent the oral informality
of aging Hell's Angel Sonny Barger, an eyewitness to many
of the incidents he relates. Character actor Philip Bosco
does justice to the style by sounding like a quasi-literate
boozing brawler. |

Zen
and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values
|
Robert
M. Pirsig |
George
Steiner, The New Yorker: It lodges in the mind as few
recent novels have...The book is inspired, original...the
narrative tact, the perfect economy of effect defy criticism.
The analogies with Moby Dick are patent. Robert Pirsig invites
the prodigious comparison. What more can one say? |
