Live to Ride: The Rumbling, Roaring World of Speed, Escape, and Adventure on Two Wheels Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A good read for every motorcycle enthusiast, BUT the author is a bit of a brand snob. He disses early Honda Gold Wings as not having "soul", and dismisses the Honda Magna as being "ugly", while constantly fawning over overpriced and ugly Ducatis. If "soul" means having to tighten bolts down after every...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My wife bought me this book for Christmas, and it helps to reaffirm what I have believed for years: Live bait will always, ALWAYS, outfish artificial lures.
