Download or read book The Perfect Vehicle What It Is About Motorcycles written by Melissa Holbrook Pierson and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-01-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book, a polished, winding meditation on the theory and fractiousness of motorcycles, celebrates both their eccentric history and the wary pleasures of touring."—The New Yorker In a book that is "a must for anyone who has loved a motorcycle" (Oliver Sacks), Melissa Pierson captures in vivid, writerly prose the mysterious attractions of motorcycling. She sifts through myth and hyperbole: misrepresentations about danger, about the type of people who ride and why they do so. The Perfect Vehicle is not a mere recitation of facts, nor is it a polemic or apologia. Its vivid historical accounts-the beginnings of the machine, the often hidden tradition of women who ride, the tale of the defiant ones who taunt death on the racetrack-are intertwined with Pierson's own story, which, in itself, shows that although you may think you know what kind of person rides a motorcycle, you probably don't.

Book excerpt: This book is not about motorcycles, but about how to camp with a motorcycle, especially full-time. It is about what may be the most free and open lifestyle possible today. To go wherever you choose whenever you want, and still live in pretty good comfort at very little expense. While intended for the motorcycle camper, most of the data is equally applicable if you backpack or if you travel by bicycle, car or even RV. Here are the basics you need to know, whether you camp for only a weekend, or for a couple of weeks, or for a whole season. And if you dream of living full-time on the road, this data should make it fairly easy to start. This book describes an appropriate motorcycle and bike gear for camping, and tips for mountain and dirt roads. It also lists the gear you will need and how to pack it. But it is mostly about the camping: Where to go, how to pick a campsite, get firewood, lay out, light, use and put out a fire. There are also sections on Water and on the special needs of Winter Camping. It also covers camp stoves, how to cook on a campfire and at high-altitude, cookware, selecting and storing food so animals do not get at it (and the bears do not get at you), and keeping food without refrigeration. There are even few campfire recipes. This is how the author lives, all year, year after year. This is how to live the dream. Stay Free!
