LEANINGS 2: GREAT STORIES BY AMERICA'S FAVORITE MOTORCYCLE WRITER
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 blues artist Robert Johnson's grave 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 motorycle gear, and much more, crack open this book. It is for everyone who rides a motorcycle–and who has a soul.
For legions of motorcyclists, the next best thing to riding or working on their bikes is reading the Cycle World columns of Peter Egan. His conversational, self-effacing style and adroit use of the language make his writing appealing to all types of riders.
