Damn guys! It is a book meant for entertainment and educating the ignorant. It doesn't need to be flamed on here. Don't like it, don't read it. After reading the article, I may take a look at it. It sounds like a fun read. Thanks for posting this Mike.

Give me a break pleaseeeeeeeeee. I get all the entertainment I need riding my bike and I am FAR from ignorant.

I just ride my bike. I don't want to be in any "culture". I am a member of the human race and that's all, period, nothing to add. I don't need no stinkin "biker rules" or "PC rules" or "how to.." rules. I'm a decent human being that works hard, pays my bills, loves people and my life and if I have to be pigeonholed to ride a bike....don't include me. I yam who I yam.

 

why would I need a book when I can just study the all knowing, all seeing HDforum?

 

OH BOY!!! Another book to show me what to do to be a real biker. Since I'm too busy working, spending time with the family and riding to read this, can someone give me the important parts - where does he stand on the key issues:

Chaps
Harley Gear
Fingerless Gloves
Jap Bikes
Chrome
Waving

I gotta know - I'm riding this weekend and I want to make sure I get it right...

 

a lifestyle cant be learned from a phrickin book it must be lived....

 

Let me rephrase. It is a book meant to entertain and educate "those with a lack of knowledge". I apologize if I offended. Ride your ride and have fun. Read the book or don't, but don't flame the book if you haven't read it. That was all I was saying.

Bwaaaaaaaahaaaaahaaaaahhaaa! READ A BOOK??!! I get impatient if a post is too long!!!

 

Kinda like reading "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Universe".... funny to read, but not relevant to my personal (weird) culture.[&:]

 

Umm, Dynamike, I have to take issue with your statement "He also refers to the Evolution motor as the Blockhead. This is not how I remember my motorcycle history."

I'm sorry, but Blockhead was the "unofficial" name for the Evolution motor. Just like theShovelhead, Panhead, Knucklehead and Flathead before them, Harley has their name and the public has their name. Believe it or not the Motor Company did not refer to any of the listed motors by the now common names until well after the nickname was more prevalent than the "official" name.

 

Thanks man. That's exactly what the book is in my opinion, entertainment and some neat info. Like I said in my review,

Quote:

The seasoned vet will appreciate the reinforcement of lessons he's already learned and the stories Jay has to tell about his time with his buddies. The new rider will appreciate a lesson from a seasoned vet and will look forward to making stories of his own after reading about Jay's.

Of course I'm sure everyone flaming the book has read the review in its entirety.
