Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Read Matthew Biberman's posts on the Penguin Blog. "If you believe it is possible to fall in love with a motorcycle, you will love this book." -Jay Leno When Big Sid had a heart attack and gave up the will to live, his son Matthew Biberman panicked. Impulsively, Matthew promised his father that they would build a Vincati together. This fusion of two legendary motorcycles, the Vincent Black Shadow and the Ducati GT, a Vincati was considered near-impossible to build. But if anyone could do it, Matthew knew his father could. Big Sid was the mechanic to see about repairing Vincents for nearly sixty years. But now, Sid was old, busted up and broke. Matthew, despite sharing his dad's passion, had become a Shakespearean scholar. The two men hadn't spoken in years-but called a truce to attempt a shared dream. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance meets Shop Class as Soulcraft, in this heartfelt memoir that shows how two very different men built a legendary motorcycle, and along the way, discovered what it means to be father and son.

Book Description
A lone motorcycle rider camping in the desert of Arizona finds an unconcscious woman in a small arroyo near his camp. Exhausted and suffering exposure in the earlier heat of the desert, she has stumbled and fallen in the dark. He hears the noise near his camp, finds her, and carries her to his camp...then awakens in the night to find himself in a deadly fight for his life. She has apparently been found by the men who had been pursuing her earlier that afternoon. He and the woman escape, only to be pursued along the highways through the desert of Arizona and into the mountains of Colorado by lawless members of a motorcycle club. Long since retired, he is not prepared physically or mentally to deal with pursuers who are younger, stronger, and arrogantly intent on taking the woman by force. It becomes clear that he can only survive by using skills and experience from his past that he has only recently begun to come to terms with. Will a confrontation with these lawless men lead to his undoing?
