From the Author
Author's review of work
Over a decade ago, when I finally rid myself of the images and brainwashing that my mother had placed so well in my subconscious, I purchased my first motorcycle. That $300 Suzuki changed my life (it cost me a few hundred more in repairs over the next 10,000 miles), but it opened a new world to me. Back in 1996 when my wife and I ran cross country on old Rte 66 with the HOG club, we accomplished something that few people attempt these days... we traveled from one coast to another, outside... smelling every smell... feeling the cold, the heat, the wind ... really seeing and experiencing this great country. Being a "hands-on" type, and living/working at Chilton, it was a forgone conclusion that I would someday write a book telling the hows and whys to motorcycle care and maintenance. Luckily, I work with another motorcyclist who knew any of the whys of which I was still unsure. Ben and I have grown-up together in the world of motorcycles and, though he is not quite as obsessed as I, he is still an avid enthusiast. Our book tells the details of how and why you should service and maintain your bike. It gives hints on how to purchase a bike, or how to accessorize it once you've made the purchase. It talks you through the basics of troubleshooting, detailing and even winterizing..... essentially we tell you everything a motorcyclist needs to know, or how to find it. It doesn't matter whether you're a first time rider or a road weary soul ... you'll find something useful inside the cover ... and I hope that whatever you find will help you discover something outside your own box. Life is no fun inside a cage (real or in your own mind). It's a big country .... someone's got to ride it. Ride Safe(ly) KEv
