Many beginning street motorcycle riders, as well as more experienced riders than care to admit it, have issues, close-calls, and crashes that they need not have. All it takes to avoid these issues is training. During the author's years as a Motorcycle Safety Foundation Rider Coach, he noticed that the same problems kept showing up time and again. When he traced the problem back to it's core, it all came down to the student's level of comfort. He also noticed that humor, mixed with a bit of absurdity, was a good way to break the student from their anxiety and redirect their focus. "The Realm of the Cheetah" is a collection of hints to help the motorcyclist deal with the issues of staying safe while riding, as they reduce their anxiety level and increase their skill and confidence.

When you're out riding, things happen. If you keep at it, everything happens . Thus goes the simple wisdom of Foster Kinn in Freedom's Rush: Tales from The Biker and The Beast. Join Kinn as he rides his motorcycle throughout the western half of the continental United States with an occasional detour into Canada and experience with him all that can happen in a "day in the life" of a biker: "Sometimes you're hungry, sometimes you eat too much. Sometimes you're unbearably hot, sometimes painfully cold. You lose things and get lost; you find things and find your way. You fall in love, you find things to despise. You bleed and you heal; you get sick, then you're invincible. The rains pelt, the snows blind, the winds make you helpless. You ride through gorgeous scenery and through desolate wastelands; all places are the way they're supposed to be and they're all perfect. It's life in microcosm." In part a celebration of the grandness of this wide, wonderful world, in part a meditation on the meaning of freedom and our sacred right to create, you will laugh with Kinn at all the wonderfully wacky characters he meets on the road, and you will be dazzled by the utter joy he finds in the simple act of riding a Harley. When you read the last line, you will know what he means when he writes: As long as Freedoms exist, we will ride; As long as we ride, Freedoms will exist."

The book is about learning to ride mostly for folks at or after middle age. Anyone learning to ride could benefit from it as well. It was inspired by my own experiences. Although I was on a bike a few times when I was 17, it was like starting all over again when I took it up again at 56. I knew absolutely nothing about bikes or how to ride, and didn't know who to ask or what to ask them. I learned a lot during my adventure and, looking back, there were lots of things I wish I had asked, or known to ask. The book is about those things.

In 1957, The Motor Company, as they call Harley-Davidson in Milwaukee, was in trouble. The big twins were too big, the small two-stroke single was too small, and a surge of imports had taken the sporting market from the under-powered Model K.

It was time for something new and different.

It was time for the Sportster.

Never has a motorcycle been more aptly named. The Sportster kept the K's best features, borrowed the improvements of the imports, threw in some homemade hot rodding, and before you could say Superbike-a term invented to describe the XLCH-the Sportster was making history, setting sales and speed records, and introducing people to the sport of motorcycling and the mystique of Harley-Davidson.

The history is still going on.

This book tells how and why, in sequence, from the circumstances and models that preceded the XL through to the 1200 Evo, with its five speeds and belt drive. On the way, there are in-depth looks at the race-ready XLC that began the Superbike era (and took even the factory by surprise), at the radical Cafe Racer and super-sport Buell, and at the price-buster XLX that taught the imports the value of the dollar."
