The Tao of the Ride: Motorcycles and the Mechanics of the Soul

Summary: Very Interesting Even If You Don't Ride a Motorcycle
Review: The way he connects motorcycling riding to eastern philosophy helps to illuminate both. The philosophical ideas he talks about with motorcycle riding I have experienced in other areas (tennis and developing software), but this book helps to put what I've experienced in a very useful context. The way he paints the motorcycle as a vehicle to explore larger ideas and better connect one with nature makes me want to try riding a motorcycle. If you like relating your life's experiences to a bigger picture or want to understand the deeper meaning of riding a motorcycle, you will enjoy this book.

Summary: We need more books like this in the world!
Review: This book really grabbed me - it's honest, fun, lyrical yet speaks from the heart. I don't ride, but the author really gave me a true sense of what it could be like even as a passenger, so I finally picked up the courage to go for a ride with my boyfriend who just got a Yamaha V-Star Classic, and now I understand his obsession. I also enjoyed reading the other contributors thoughts and feelings about their experiences, especially the women! I'm thinking I may just take some lessons and get my own bike after this... Great read and many thanks for sharing this poetry in motion.

Summary: Boring, Boring, Boring
Review: What a waste of $$, a book that uses a motorcycle brand name as though it was a generic term and is boring on top of that. One good thing, this book shows that anybody can get any trash published.
