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.
