Product Description

From the Author

A review of the novel
Coming out of a long term marriage, which ended in divoce, "Roadside Ron" Healy decides to leave Chicago and fullfill his three life-long dreams; move to the California Coast, buy a Harley-Davidson and ride from one end of the country to the other. He packs up his belongings and heads west but never makes it to the coast. He stops about 90 miles shy of it to gas up and get a soda to escape the desert heat.

The owner of the gas station, a slow moving wise old man named John, talks him into staying for one night in order to repair a customer's carburetor. That one day turns into two years. As he's trying to resolve his marriage in his mind, he meets two women; Billy Jo, the daughter of a local horse rancher and Gloria whom he met on the Internet who lives in New York. He's mysteriously drawn to Gloria, even though he's never met her. He purchases the Harley and prepares to ride cross country, now more to settle his mind more than enjoy the trip. He decides to go to New York and meet Gloria, which further strains his relationship with Billy Jo.

On the way to New York he meets an intimidating looking biker named Maddog, who used to belong to a notorious motorcycle gang and they team up for part of the trip.

While on the road, Roadside realizes he's in love with Billy Jo and tries to get in touch with her to let her know, but she's nowhere to be found.

Now, more than anxious to return home, a series of events unfold before he arrives to find out the truth of Billy Jo's wherabouts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Motorcycle Story Since "Easy Rider", 30 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This tale encompasses new beginnings born from total devastation of the human spirit. It is threaded together with hope and encouragement and the adventure and nostalgia of a cross country trip on old Route 66. The characters you meet on the way are unforgettable and will be missed long after the book is finished. Truly the best motorcycle story out since "Easy Rider."

5.0 out of 5 stars 40-ish fellow Western Rider, 29 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Good book. The description is excellent and the author captures the true spirit of the west and how it feels to ride it. He was also able to write the mental turmoil of breaking away and starting over again. The description of the sex scenes are not for the prudish. If you want to know how it feels to ride the Great American machine, read this book. You won't be disapointed.
