Since his work first graced the pages of "Cycle World" magazine in
1977, Peter Egan has taken his readers on one unforgettable
adventure after another. Whether riding along the Mississippi River
to New Orleans for a tin of chicory coffee, or flying to Japan to
test-ride new Yamahas, Egan's insight and gift with words makes
every journey a unique and fascinating experience. Available in
paperback for the first time, "Leanings "is a collection of Egan's
favorite feature articles and columns from "Cycle World" magazine.
Included among the 21 feature articles are Egan's first feature for
the magazine, a story about he and his wife's cross-country trip on
a British twin, his journey on abandoned Route 66, a history of the
motorcycle jacket, and his visit to the fabled Tourist Trophy race
on the Isle of Man. A selection of 27 columns are also reproduced
here, covering a wide range of subjects, from the nearly lost art
of the kick start, how to survive not being able to ride for an
entire Wisconsin winter, and a look back at the motorcycle crash
that nearly killed the great Bob Dylan. For added perspective, each
feature article is preceded by commentary from the author. This is
an unforgettable collection of the works of a master writer, whose
simple adventures of life remind us all why we love to ride.
If you can recall the golden era of motorcycle sport then this is
undoubtedly the book for you. Featuring sixteen scramblers and one
and six days trials stars, this is a must read for all who lined
the circuits on muddy Sundays and were glued to their TV sets on
Winter afternoons. Author Andy Westlake is regarded as one of the
UK's leading classic motorcycle journalists and this book is the
perfect follow-up to his two previous books "Off Road Giants"
volumes one and two. In this third volume Andy has once again
managed to track down and interview some of the stars of this
golden era in off road sport, including the former works Greeves
rider and 250cc European champion Dave Bickers, ex works BSA star
John Banks, and has even journeyed to Spain to interview Les
Archer, the man who lifted the European 500cc crown on his works
Norton in the mid 'fifties. A superbly written book brought alive
by many excellent period photographs.
