Publisher Description
Since his first feature in Motorcyclist magazine, contributing editor Jack Lewis has set a high bar in polarizing the readership. Letters to the editor may brim with love or sizzle with hatred, but are never indifferent. Castigated by his editor for routinely doubling his allotted space, this "rider's cut" provides a deeper glimpse into the mind behind "Stoned to the Bone" and "Dancing with the Devil."
Published here for the first time at their original length, this six-pack of stories (including the classic 'Riding Home,') takes you from wide open desert to twisting mountain roads. You'll get a panoramic view through the writer's rose-colored visor. Lewis knows why lovers laugh and riders ride, and lays it out here with style and integrity.
More stored energy than a gallon of gas, for about the same money.
Customer Reviews
A good ride
Jacks writing is full of twistys that take your breath away. Jarring potholes that make you look back and wonder where that came from... And Smooth straightaways that beg you to turn around and read the passage one more time they are that good.
Going to find his latest book as soon as this review is done. He's that good.
Fun read
Jack is top shelf. Prose that both moves and makes you pause and wonder. If you are looking for a read that ponders and highlights the joy of riding and being alive - that is when you ain't racking up odo miles, what're you waiting for: buy it already.
For the love of Bike
I'd read a few pages then have a need to jump on my bike and ride. Jack has a real way of telling a story, like sitting around a fire after a day of riding with a good friend. Makes me regret now keeping every old bike I've owned, dusting one off, getting out for a ride just for the love of the bike. Highly recommend.
