By Ted Bishop. Just got a copy yesterday and started reading it a few minutes ago. Chapter One, "Why A Duc?" is worth the price of the book.

Hard cover or soft bound ?

Thanks for the heads-up, orangelion.

I'd not noticed this one. Had better get hold of a copy.

Nice interview with the author here on Twisting Asphalt (http://twistingasphalt.com/index.php/2008/02/24/ted-bishop-riding-with-rilke-author-speaks-with-twisting-asphalt/).

I like the bit where he explains why he picked a Monster for touring.

Dolph: I bought a soft-cover copy. Used through Amazon...$.75 for the book, plus $2.95 shipping. YMMV.

Moronic: Thanks for the link to the interview!!!

I read it back when it first came out...sort of a funny book. Parts of it are really interesting motorcycle/life type stuff, but then other parts get a bit academic. I liked it, but maybe not for everyone.

I have a copy of the book and enjoyed reading it. I'll have to read it again one of these days.
