Even the most die hard of motorcyclists can't
ride--or work on--their bikes all the time. So in those moments away
from that precious Triumph, Suzuki, or Harley, Cycle World columnist
and writer Peter Egan comes to the rescue--taking all kinds of riders
along with him on his journeys.
Part self-effacing humor, part philosophy, part
nostalgia, Egan's pieces remind us not only of all that matters in the
motorcycle world, but in the world at large. In Leanings 2, more of
his writing (four features and 95 columns) is collected into one
volume, giving readers another taste of his best work.
From a trip down the Mississippi to find the
grave of blues artist Robert Johnson to rearranging his garage for
optimal motorcycle ikebana, Peter Egan's stories hit home with all of
us who define our good times with motorcycles. To get his view on how
much your motorcycle habit really costs, which rock 'n' roll artists
exemplify which bikes, the fine art of carrying motorcycle gear, and
much more, crack open this book. It is for everyone who rides a
motorcycle--and who has a soul.
