The Joy of Motorcycles
ByPublisher Description
Motorcycles whisper freedom. Adventure.
You climb on, full of expectations—only to grind it out mile after mile. Then suddenly, Joy kicks your soul in the ass. Something takes over: part genius, part insanity, part magic.
From the author of Scraping Pegs comes a wildly honest, darkly funny, and oddly heartwarming ride through healing—and the unpredictable liberation found on two wheels.
On the Road to Joy, you'll meet: a philosophical Guzzi rider, a scooter evangelist, the Ass Problem, a therapy bike, the truth about motorcycles, a doomsday scare—and yes, battered pickles.
Part satire, part soulful road manual, The Joy of Motorcycles explores what happens when machines become mirrors and asphalt becomes a path to something more.
Whether you're an experienced rider or dreaming of your first road trip, this book delivers: scars, laughter, hope, hard truths, and the surprising science of two-wheeled healing.
Chase joy. Scrape your pegs. Begin your inquiry into Joy.
Gone down hard? Don't be a weenie—climb back on.
