Kurzbeschreibung
Richard La Plante begins his Harley career as a "RUB" (Rich Urban Biker) with a single small motorcycle. Before long, he is pursuing the ultimate machine--a Harley customized to his exact specifictions--and lovingly spending hours polishing its gleaming chrome.
From his misadventure-filled trip to Spain to his across-America ride that ends in tragedy in Las Vegas, La Plante shows how a simple hobby can become a life-altering obsession.

If you were a real biker you wouldn't be caught dead reading or enjoying this book. It is the tale of a wanna-be-biker who rediscovers his youth. The reading is easy and it does give a fairly accurate picture of the Hell's Angels MC. I would recommend this to any aging yuppie who wants to buy a Harley.

I couldn't put this book down. What I found myself reading was the story of my own experience. This book is about a middle aged man getting on a Harley after many years. He talks about the fears of riding, handling, turns, and city traffic. His fanaticism with getting that perfect ride, look, feel and sound. I am on my third motorcycle and second Harley in my first year. I found myself reading about me. I would recommend this book for anyone who already owns a motorcycle (particularly a Harley) or anyone one who is planning to buy a motorcycle. I would caution letting a spouse read it. This book certainly points out the passion, compulsion, and obsession we have for our Harleys, all of which we try and keep hiddin from our spouses. This book is great entertainment for riders and non riders. Well written in a style that clearly communicates the fascination with his Harleys and the joy of riding.

Having ridden Harleys for more than ten years and now on my fifth model I am well and truly hooked. My latest (and last) is a 2000 FLSTC. This has been the subject of many late night viewing sessions, of which I am sure my wife was convinced I was losing the plot. Everything La Plante goes thru in this book is for real and I can identify with just about all of it apart from the deception to his wife. It also confirmed my amazement that at 45 years old I can hold as much reverance to a motorcycle as I did to my first pushbike as a kid. His honesty and wit are so reassuring and I am glad I don't have any gold eagles on my rides anymore! The book is a great read and my only dissapointment was it came to an end. He confirms the old saying "Men never grow up, just the price of the toys!"ÿ

Could not put it down - wanted to dash out and buy a Harley
