It's funny, but this book probably played a greater role in my getting into motorcycling than all those years of poring over enthusiast mags like Motorcyclist or Cycle World combined. The thrill of raw speed is fleeting, but an epiphany... that lasts. A bike ride on back roads is a surprisingly natural place to think.
- camperman 10y agoAmen brother. This right here: “In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a cycle the frame is gone. You're completely in contact with it all. You're in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.”
