The Ride So Far
Tales from a Motorcycling Life
Nobody has to ride a motorcycle, so why do we do it? Why do we choose sensation and experience over comfort and convenience, even though a bug splat at 65 mph feels like shrapnel and an icy rivulet of rain sneaks past the jacket collar?
We all have our reasons, but few descriptions are better than these well spun tales from a varied motorcycling life. Whether recounting a laid-back ramble along an Appalachian backroad or trying to reach 170 mph on a Kawasaki Ninja at Losail International Circuit in Qatar, these stories from the road and ruminations from the garage uncover the essence of what makes motorcycling so much more than just a way to get from here to there.
