Coming and Going on Bikes: Essaying the Motorcycle

NOTE: this is a subset of material published in the newer collection Head Check: What it Feels Like to Ride Motorcycles. If you are unfamiliar with Jack Lewis's writing, this is an inexpensive way to discover it, but if you already know you love it, please consider his newer release as it has substantially more material.

Since his first feature in Motorcyclist magazine in August 2007, 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 collection 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.
