Motorcycles Books

This is one of those books that can be identified as the book of books on Harley-Davidson. If you own a Harley, this book is a MUST HAVE. If you don't have a Harley, you will want to get one after reading this bok and after looking at all the terrific pictures. It is a two volume set, now out of publish. To find this may be hard, but check for this with Amazon's serach for books that are out of print. Because this book is two volumes and is coffee table size, it can be read, looked at and studied by many. This is the Bible of Harley. Without a question, if anyone picks this book up with the interst of bikes they will love it. FIVE STARS AL THE WAY!

The Author of this two book set succeeds in something that all Harley-Davidson riders have, at one time or another, tried to do. Explain why we have this love affair with 650+ pounds of oil, steel and Milwaukee Thunder, and a lifestyle of unspoken Brotherhood. Words in themselves would not be enough, but the pictures therein speak volumes to us who, "Live to Ride - Ride to Live. I am sure that they will speak the same to you too.

bought it at borders for 25 buck

This two volume set has lots of history, lots of information, and fantastic color photographs of Harleys, Harley riders, and the Harley culture. A great gift for the Harley rider in your life and a great gift for yourself. How often can you get such terrific Harley stuff for so little cost :-)!!

I was introduced to this book by a friend who bought it as a gift for a family member. I asked to borrow it, and to my amazement I could not believe all the information and history the book contained. I immediately started searching the web for a copy. This book is a "keeper" for anyone who owns or has an interest in a Harley! I cant wait to see what Dieter & Oluf write about Harleys next!

As a MX and Offroad rider for over 2 decades, I thought I had a pretty good grasp of my riding ability....and my weaknesses....until I read this book. After applying the techniques and practicing them on the track, it was easy to feel the difference in how I handle difficult situations....easy to see where I fall into the most common, simple to cure, mistakes that make the race a battle with myself more than the guy ahead of me....and it was obvious how much faster my laptimes were. On my website at MotoxMadness, I only recommend one book that every rider should read...this one. Use it and it will change your life. See ya' on the track!

This book is written in an easy to read fashion. Clear and concise, with illustrations that show exactly what you need to know. You can read it from cover to cover or start any chapter you want. Covers all aspects of motocross. I loved it.

This book is a great resource for fundamental motocross riding skills. After reading the book I've attempted many of the techniques described and with excellent results. As in any industry skill is attained through practice. The book does a good job of providing what should be practiced while continuously referring to motivational type phrases to assist in the understand of nothing happens without effort and persistence.

After reading the book, you can easily watch a motocross race and see the pros apply these very same techniques.

I recommend this book for the novice through advanced rider. All skill levels can gain something of value from this book.

I just started racing and this book is very helpful. It practicly tells all the Pro riders secrets and tips. Also, it has sections where Gary Semic (A professonal teacher who teaches Jeremey McGrath)gives inside information on just about everything. If you like to ride Dirt Bikes and possibly thinking of racing, or just tooling around, THIS is THE book to own!

Really helpful for all riders. No matter if you are a beginner or pro, motocrosser or off-road, this book will help improve your skills. Uses lots of cool photos.

This is a no nonsense book of some very devious people who were outlaws in morotcycle gangs serving self and their evil ways selling drugs, getting high, beating up people and just being real bad keeping up with the outlaw biker image. You'll learn of the gang initiations and the brutal nature of the biker gang if you upset them. Most were filled with an angry rage ready to unleash at any moment of provocation, which they did so frequently. Jail, prison, theft, hatred is just some of the personal anguish they experienced. Suddenly, these hard-core bikers come to an end point of total frustration and failure, even sickness and are saved by God, Jesus Christ, and tell about their rotten lives without God and how wonderful life is with the Lord. These men and women (and the girls were tough bikers, too) tell it all in a personal interview format. This is no small book and the cover and paper is of high gloss quality. If you want to know about bad people living in a bad life then this book can bring you face to face with these outlaw bikers who are now living for the Lord and are happy tell you their story! There are dozens of motorcycle pictures in this book with photos of the gang members and 263 pages of very interesting true crime reading. There are pages that reveal cruel tortures, so it's not a book for children. These are true stories by those who have commited crimes while operating inside the dark world of the outlaw biker lifestyle.

Remsberg's powerful and intimate photographs imbue his subjects with a dignity too often missing from studies of people living at the margins of society. Though Riders for God is worth the price for the photos alone (the Blessing of the Bikes is brilliant), it is much more than an art book. Remsberg elicits from his subjects the startling truths that belie the easy stereotypes conjured by the notion of Christian bikers. I found the powerful stories of redemption gripping and utterly unexpected. Rather than masking or exploiting their interior lives, Remsberg's photographs reveal. Remsberg's patience and gently prodding curiosity make him a wonderful guide connecting the reader with people generally regarded as marginal or simple. While he remains an outsider to the gang, he clearly gains their respect along with their candor.

This finely crafted book offers a fascinating look at a world that is doubly obscure: the mind-set and lifestyle of outlaw bikers and the world of religious extremists. Remsberg's photos are mesmerizing. And his text, which reveals these unique bikers in their own words, is equally compelling. Anyone with curiosity about human nature will be engrossed from the first page on.

This book takes an uncompromising view of people who simultaneously live at two extremes of society--the wildly liberal, almost anarchistic side, and the deeply religious. The photography is stunning in its ability to cut through what I would normally notice about a man or woman decked in leathers on a motorcycle--features such as hands (particularly hands,) faces, postures, etc. are brought to the surface by this talented documentary photographer. This is a book which will surprise and absorb anyone who pulls it off the shelf in your home.

This book gives a new perspective on the inner lives of motorcycle gangs and bikers. Excellent photographs coupled with first-person interviews give the reader an in-depth view of bikers who have given up the violent life for a shot at spiritual redemption. Remsberg talks to all kinds of 'scary' people and shows us their humanity. A great read.

This is a very good motorcycle genre book.The author used a bit of a novel
approach in constructing it,but I enjoyed it.
This is not a fiction novel. So you would really probably only understand it
with any depth if you have a reasonably strong motorcycle background.
Anyone who's ever been into motorcycle racing and wished they could or actually did it will like this book.

I have to admit, I race motorcycles. So, right off the bat I was interested in this book. However, once I got to actually reading it, I found that it is a very well written story. It doesn't just cover his racing. He also talks about his job, a little about his family, and a lot about the culture on the Isle of Man. His writing style is funny and insightful. He's just a fairly average guy who chases his dream.

Even if you aren't very interested in motorcycles, I highly reccomend this book.

I'm not done with the book yet and it's already making me re-evaluate how I live life. Making me itch to do something more than just work to live/ride. I too have a passion for motorcycles, and racing. The TT and it's heroes(Mike the Bike, Joey, McCallen, DJ) always like real people who do extra-ordinary things. Mark is one of them, to me. I'd love to see a follow up book of his sketches of the course.

This was a great follow up to One Man's Island the documentary that Mark Gardiner did.

I concur with the first review, this is an amazing book about a guy who understands that he is pursuing a crazy dream, and he makes the reader understand why, and walks the reader through the staggering difficulties. There is a DVD of this story, which I am going to get.

Reading Jaci Burton's RIDING WILD was awesome. A quick summary of the book first, Lily West is a private investigator, former police who is doing work to evaluate security at a museum. Mac is her first love that left her ten years ago without any reason or meaning. Mac's a bad boy! He's had a difficult upbringing that Lily believes nothing has changed in 10 years. After she finds him breaking into a museum, she gets caught in the middle and Mac is forced to take her along with him.

Without having to give more details of the story, GO READ IT! The sexual tension between Mac and Lily steams off the pages from the very beginning when Lily recalls their relationship in the prior years. As Mac takes Lily on a wild ride (gosh, I so love heroes on motorcycles. Jaci does this fab!) trying to lose those who are following them and getting the stolen virus into safe hands. Mac is keeping details from Lily to protect himself and Lily will not give up and so hard tries not to fall for Mac again.

I was captivated to the pages of this book! As a reader, I was feeling I was in Lily's place so many times. This author Jaci Burton has a excellent writing voice that gives you so much visual and sensual connection that you will feel you are right there along with them. Gosh, I don't know how to say this any other way, but I was panting along with Lily. The suspense was so intense, so real, as their love was for each other, that you'll be visualizing it as a movie you are watching.

If you love sizzling romance suspense book this is the one to read. Days and months after I finished the book, scenes were still with me. I'm picturing scenes and feeling them just as intense when I was reading it. This is totally a keeper, and can't wait for Jesse's story in RIDING TEMPTATION!

This book is a must read. Really anything Jaci Burton writes is a must read. I really loved this book it was hot and entertaining. You will not be disappointed. I have read several books of hers but my all time favorite is wild wicked and wanton I have read that book 3 times. Trust me my husband was very pleased when I read anything from Jaci Burton.

Jaci Burton hits a grand-slam out of the park with her latest release, RIDING WILD. Mac and Lily are smoldering characters that leap off the pages within the first chapter and never let up. This is a one-sitting read to relish, cherish and to be used to fan oneself upon completion!

Lily and Mac come together again after a decade of not seeing one another and memories of their one night together still dominant in their minds. Ms. Burton writes my favorite kind of story of old lovers reuniting with fireworks lighting the sky....and does it with fire and confidence!

Lily lost Mac years ago when he pushed her out of his life and she refuses to make the same mistake of falling for him again. But as they spend more and more time together - she's forced to keep an eye on him so he doesn't sell a lethal virus to terrorists -- fighting the sexiest man alive in leather and chaps proves difficult for this gutsy PI.

Lily proves to Mac that the young woman he gave up years ago, thinking he was doing what was best for her, no longer exists. The Lily of today is strong, feistier than ever and takes no prisoners when she wants something. He loved and lost her years ago. This time around Mac's not sure he's willing to do it again.

Ms. Burton also introduces the Wild Riders, who are family to Mac, and teases her readers senseless with what I hope are future heroes who are already memorable. Each Wild Rider demands a story of their own, I hear them, I can only hope Ms. Burton does as well. I can't begin to pick one over the other, as long as there's more!!

For a ride that revs the engines, makes the heart race and thighs quake, and takes a reader out onto the open road of love, adventure, danger, hot nights and cool breezes, pick up a copy of RIDING WILD by the always-satisfying author Jaci Burton. I dare readers not to be tempted to look for a Harley of their very own!

Feeling a strong need to prove herself without her daddy's contacts and influence, wealthy socialite Lily West left Texas. Private investigator Lily is hired to test the security provided to The Star of Egypt traveling exhibit by attempting to break into the In Chicago museum as a thief. To her shock, Lily catches her former lover Mac Canfield trying to steal from the exhibit.

Ten years have past since they last met, but now Mac begins to explain that he is not a cat burglar. However, before he can get very far with his explanation that he works undercover for the government, someone tries to kill both them. Mac knows why and believes he and Kitty need to flee on his motorcycle. He grabs the consignment he came to purloin and persuades Lily to hide with him for safety sake. She agrees, but ignores his desire for much more as he hurt her rather badly when they were an item over a decade ago.

This action-packed second chance erotic romantic suspense thriller will have readers RIDING WILD with the lead couple as they flee for their lives. The story line is hot and fast from the moment that the two separately break into the museum (what a reunion) and never cools down until the Harley is parked.

Harriet Klausner

Private investigator Lily West is on assignment. Her client wants her
to check out the night security detail at a Chicago museum. While
watching the security guards talk in the lobby and not do their job,
Lily thinks back ten years, and the object of her daydream? Mac
Canfield. Hearing a Harley motorcycle on the street makes her think
back to when they were young and involved. No other man has ever made
her feel as he used to. Coming out of her revelry, Lily is dismayed
to see a motorcycle pull up to the back of the museum and a man
somehow jimmy the lock and get inside. Before she is able to call for
help and alert the museum's lax security guards, the man is back
outside with a priceless artifact. And he looks just like Mac Canfield!

Mac Canfield owes Grange Lee and the Wild Riders everything. Ten years
ago, he was on a path of self destruction where the only bright light
in his life was Lily West. On a dangerous assignment in Chicago, Mac
needs to steal a top-secret vial and turn it over to the government.
The coast is clear when he breaks into the museum; however, once
outside his past is staring him in the face and she is holding him at
gunpoint. Mac does the only thing that will keep them both safe. He
grabs Lily and drives hell bent for leather away from the museum. Now
all he has to do is convince Lily that he isn't the enemy without
blowing his cover.

If I didn't love a Harley man before, I most certainly do now. Mac
Canfield is my ideal for a tough, Harley riding alpha male. From the
top of his head to the bottom of his leather chaps, Mac is sin
incarnate. And I adored every molecule of him. His undercover work
aside, I felt he was loyal and downright sexy. He had never gotten
over Lily and I could tell with every emotion he used with her that he
still cared. Mac had never forgotten Lily and Lily for sure had never
forgotten Mac. No other man ever measured up to him in her eyes.
Every time Mac had to thwart Lily's questions concerning his
profession broke my heart because I know she wanted answers but I also
knew that Mac couldn't tell her for very good reasons.

Riding Wild is definitely one wild ride! From cover to cover I was
enthralled with the plot, the emotions, and the sensuality. Jaci
Burton's ability to write dominant bad boys makes me sweat. I have
one wish - I am craving in the worst way for the rest of the Wild
Riders to have their own stories. Might I volunteer the heroine Talia?

Riding Wild releases on February 5 - run, don't walk, and purchase
this phenomenal story.

Great insight, untold stories, and unseen photographs about an extremely private man. It was quite refreshing from the self-serving tomes that celebrities have put out and continue to put out about themselves. The one thing I've always admired about McQueen (besides his obvious acting talent) was his disdain for celebrity and the fact that he remained true to himself. This book drives that home.
Excellent.

Wow, the photographs are beautiful and highly personal. It's like seeing a private photo album from this marriage. Plus the text is informative and revealing. I'm so glad this part of Steve's life is now so well documented.

It goes perfectly on my coffee table.

A fantastic book on the last years of legend Steve McQueen! Great job by Barbara McQueen and Marshall Terrill! Touching moments! Great photos!

This book takes you into the very intimate and private world of Steve McQueen between 1977 and 1980.

Consisting of approximately 150 color photos (most of which were taken by his wife Barbara McQueen) and accompanied by Barbara's recollections of their time together.

Unlike some other photobooks where you sense you are watching the star pose, this book shows you the absolutely unguarded and relaxed side of the man as he goes about his daily life, talking to friends, tinkering on his bikes, dozing in an armchair or washing down the pavement outside his airplane hanger.

These are the sort of photos you would usually never see of a movie star - Steve in the morning before he has showered, looking drowsily over a hot mug of coffee, househunting in Montana with Barbara, or lying asleep on the living room floor with his pet dog lying on top of him.

You really feel like you have stepped into Steve and Barbara's house, it is that personal.

The text accompaniment is also very entertaining and educational as Barbara shares her memories of how Steve wooed her, the initial problems he had to overcome in winning her parents approval of the relationship, his personal lessons to her on how to dismantle and rebuild a motorcycle (sadly unsuccessful) or a gun (successful), how he came to propose, and many other intimate and fun moments. Overall it takes you through their entire relationship and serves as something of an autobiography in itself.

All these photos are beautifully presented in a high gloss large coffee table book format.

Released with the first limited edition run of the book is a 45 minute audio CD of Steve verbally working through the script of the film "Tom Horn". It is fascinating to hear him talk about his vision of the film, rework the script and plan his character. You get a real sense of the epic film he wanted Tom Horn to be (but was denied due to the studio slashing the budget), and you realise just how insightful he was with film and acting. The amount of thought he puts into his role should forever dispel the notion that he just played himself on film.

Steve McQueen - The Last Mile is a very special book and no fans collection will be complete without it.

Intimate, touching, insightful, sometimes hilarious passages into the life of The King of Cool, Steve McQueen. We live in such a visual, media oriented world that we tend to get preconceived notions of who movie stars are, based on what we see. The world saw Steve McQueen as the ultimate man- handsome, macho, cool, someone they could spend their hard-earned bucks on back in the day and get their money's worth at the theater. Barbara McQueen, his widow, saw the real Steve McQueen. She got to know Steve, the family man; Steve, the man who loved the great outdoors and his morning constitutional; Steve, the great mashed potato guru, airplane and motorcycle enthusiast. "The Last Mile" shows how little we all knew of his kindness and philanthropy; how little we knew of his yearning for happiness and how he ultimately found it. The photos in this book will enchant you, leave you wanting more. One of my favorites is one where Barbara embraces Steve from behind. That photo alone is worth the book to me. Beautiful model, handsome superstar, real people worn out from what life has dealt them. You can see it in their faces. It makes me sigh everytime I see it because there's not one person I know who hasn't been to that point and had nothing left but an embrace. You will love this book and you will want more. I guarantee you.

Wayne Rainey is my favorite Road Racer. This book really let's you know what it takes to be a World Champion and the struggle when its taking away. For any race fan this book is a must have!

This is a must for every motorcycle racing fan. I am a GP fan but unfortunately Wayne's career ended a couple of years before I started getting into bike racing. This book is an amazing tale of courage. I could not imagine going through what he had to go through. One of the best biographies I have ever read.

I met wayne as a fan in 1987 at Road Atlanta when he rode for Honda after having read so many magazines about him.I never Heard of Kevin Schwantz until that weekend and Wayne despite being very busy, courteously found time to have Shay take a photo of both of us and give me an autograph.He was so receptive and pleasant.That weekend I watched in awe his amazing battle against Kevin's Suzuki and would never forget that day for the rest of my life.Then I continued to watch him on TV from 1988 to that fateful day.The book brought tears and lumps in my throat.This book tells it all and is a must buy.I am also a racer a know the will and the determination to win at all costs.This book also helps us analyze ourselves and our personal relationship with GOD.A precious collector's item to have.

It's been some time since I last read this biography of Wayne Rainey, but I certainly remember the emotions, and especially the growing pride, I felt with each turned page. The writing was very easy to read, and the content flowed well from Wayne's childhood and foundation of a Champion in the making, through his personal relationships, and to the present (time of writing). I recommend this book to all that loved to watch his battles with Eddie Lawson, Kevin Schwantz, Freddie Spencer, and Mick Doohan, and wish to simply know more about the Champion. And I recommend it to anyone that thinks the world and life aren't fair. Perservere!

Wayne Rainey was certainly one of the greatest GP Racers to hit the scene in the late 80's-early 90's. With 3 consecutive world championships under his belt he had his 4th wrapped up when tragedy struck. Rainey's career was cut short and thus began a new chapter in this champion's life. The book deals with his youth, and his early racing years on the dirt tracks of Southern California and later, the dirt tracks throughouit the US. His entry into GP racing makes for some of the most intriging and blatantly honest reading you will find. With Kenny Roberts as team manager, Wayne Rainey's career began to open up and the more you read the better this book gets. This is simply the best book on the "inside" of a GP racer and the entire lifestyle that goes with it. (Ever wonder how "team-mates" get along when they BOTH want to win? ) Don't pass this one up. It deserves to be read.

I used this book for my own motorcycle travels - it, along with Asia Overland, was the only reference I truly needed. It was fantastic for both pre trip planning and for during the trip.

Chris highlights all of the things you need for a successful and fun journey, and provides enough excitement to build your motivation to buy & equip the bike and get on the road. If you think that you might like to do this the future - watch out, a few months after reading this book you may find yourself on a dirt track in a country you didn't know existed....

Just the sort of book the rapidly increasing band of motorcycle explorer-adventurers need. If you like the feeling of long-distance independent motorcycle travel and want to take in more of the planet then this book will answer many of your questions and provide plenty of welcome advice.

Most of the practical information is geared towards exploring the more challenging parts of the world rather than the comparatively simple Western countries. Every adventurous touring motorcyclist is likely to benefit from reading this thoroughly.

Highly recommended.

A very helpfull book indeed. It gives you prcatical advice and touches all possible subjects that involve a motorbike trip. It even reminds you of the possible failure, or that one should reconcider the possible departure date. Very usefull are short stories written by teachers, workers etc who have done a long overland journey, even in a short time (as like most of us they have to get back to work! ) Most travels books are nice to read, but unfortuanetly we all cannot take months off from work. This really helps anyone planning a trip

If you want do a overland journey, this is a MUST !

This book is the best way to find out what it is like to ride your bike around the world without actually doing it. Great practical tips on bike setup, routes, what works and what doesn't. The last quarter of the book is full of interesting stories from those adventure bikers who have actually put the principles of this book to the test, including some great color pictures (my favorite image is one of Helge Pederson dragging his BMW through the Darien Gap in Panama). The appendix has a good list of Web sites and related readings.

You'll find updates for this book, latest trip reports from readers, a discussion forum and a whole lot more atwww.adventure-motorcycling.com

Good overview of the EVO and Twin Cam engines. Great overview for beginers. You want rebuild a engine with this book, but, it does give you a good idea of the procees!

I really enjoyed this one! It starts with some history on the introduction of both the 88TC and 88B TC engines. There is alot of down to earth information that can stear you into the right kind of after market hot rod stuff like cams and carb.s. I thought it was well worth the price and very informative. Very easy to reading.

I was pleased to see that the Twin Cam owner is finally getting some material for maintaining and modifying his bike, too. While much of the literature written for Evolution engines is also applicable to the Twin Cam, there are enough differences (e.g., camshafts) to warrant separate treatment. Bravo for including enough specifics on the Twin Cam to make it stand out from the crowd!

This is a well-written and information-packed book which is sure to be of interest to anyone wanting to understand the workings of the Evolution or Twin Cam engine of their Harley-Davidson motorcycle. And, for someone like me who wants to actually do most of the work myself, you make it all that much more feasible.

I feel this is certainly a worthwhile, long-term addition to my Harley library.

I found this book very informative. It's very usefull in the selection of aftermarket parts and what they will achieve.

Being new to the Harley-Davidson Twin Cam 88 engine. I was looking for something to supplement the factory service manual, and answer some question that the shop manual had left me scratching my head about. This book was it. It got me deep inside the engine, and showed me from the flywheel out every working part and assembly. Within 33 pages I had a firm grasp of the internal engine workings, and I was ready to plunge into the performance upgrade sections that followed. The comparisons between the EVO and TC 88 are also discussed, and an overview of engineering changes to the Twin Cam were covered as well. If you are looking for a great book to get your understanding of the HD Twin Cam 88 engine on the fast track. Then look no further....

This book catches the reader's attention instantly. It is fast paced and exciting, violent and tender. Have you ever driven through a neighborhood at night and caught a glimpse into the homes that has left you wondering what the occupants' lives are like? Reading this book is like that. It's an intimate, almost indecent look into the hearts and minds of its facinating characters. Logan has an innate understanding of Japanese culture and the people who inhabit it. He has managed to weave together a story with people whose lives are interrelated. The result is amazing! This is great book!

Reads like a Coen Brothers movie. Humor with razor edges. Inadvertent violence mixed with good intentions. Big City weirdness, where the fringe jaggedly intrudes on the norm. But uniquely Tokyo - a Möbius strip of cute and creepy. Darkly comic. Funny stuff. Except for the villain; Logan doesn't invent a new monster, just chillingly describes the diminutive one that exists among us.

Big Motorcycle is at least a half-dozen books: pulse-pounding action, horror, wild humor, crime, social history of Tokyo, love and more love. Logan does on the page what the Cohen brothers do on the screen--in, for example, Fargo: there's slapstick and depravity and nobility all mixed together, but somehow working, as in life. And Logan can plot right alongside Joseph Heller: he's got at least seven stories happening simultaneously, weaving in and out of each other, building on each other. The characters, too, are fine: Americans and Japanese both. One of the early reviewers of this novel wrote that the reader "really cares about the people in this book, cares what happens to them." And it's true. Logan's got Elmore Leonard-grade dialogue too, and the sardonic brilliance of Jonathan Swift. Call him a sort of latter-day Nathaniel West--or, rather, East. Terrific, loved it, a real page-turner--with a whole lot of pages to turn. A classic.

This novel has the slick plotting of John Sandford, the wild humor of Carl Hiassen, the erudition of David Foster Wallace, and the brutal bite of James Ellroy. It's a story of Tokyo, as the sub-title suggests, but Tokyo is a city of foreigners and natives trying to come to terms with each other. So any story of post-WWII Tokyo is a story of the world. Great characters in this book, terrific dialogue. One of the dust jacket reviews said simply, "Ride this Motorcycle." Exactly: this novel is the sleeper of the year.

Big Motorcycle is a frenetic ride into the weirdness of Tokyo that combines some of the post industrial hipness of William Gibson with the plotting intricacies of Elmore Leonard-all at a pace that makes Run, Lola Run seem like a stroll in the park. F.X. Donner, Viet Nam vet and former P.O.W., now a middle aged gaijin professor of English comp in Tokyo, has his generally sedate, mildly angst ridden life blasted into hyperdrive when he reflexively performs an act of heroism by catching a falling baby. From that point on, Donner finds himself drawn into the Tokyo underbelly of yakuza, religious cults, right wing and left wing revolutionaries, pop culture entrepreneurs, and a very disturbing serial killer. As the action races along, the individual weirdness converges in bang up race to stop a killer. Big Motorcycle is ghastly, cool, fast paced, exciting and...funny.
