OK, OK . . . I said its just for fun. Do I know a thing about the "motorcycling life?" No. But these objects, machines, vehicles do capture the imagination. Why? That's what Pierson is after in this what and why of motorcycling. Through myth, hyperbole, and history she takes us to the beginnings of motorcycles, the often hidden tradition of women who ride, the culture of racing--all woven together with her own story of over ten years of riding in this country and throughout Europe. |
