From the Back Cover This book is equal parts true grit, road grit, and grits and gravy. A few bikerisms: Two-lane blacktop isn't a highway--it's an attitude. Consume and enjoy!

Three Stars It needed more sayings. Cute Book - A Fast Read Jennifer Parker This book is very easy to read--takes only a little while. It provided many chuckles, smiles, and nods acknowledging the truth in some of the quotes.I'm recommending it to everyone in my HOG (Harley Owners Group) chapter.. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!! I purchased this book with the hope that it might be interesting and have some funny quotes on the lifestyles of motorcyclists. It does not, it is simply a list of qotes with cute drawings. You could get these quotes for free at your average biker bar. The book took me all of 12 minutes (I timed it) to read and I was extremly sorry that I spent my hard earned money on it. In short, if you are looking for an interesting read you would be better of buying Melissa Holbrook-Pierson's "The Perfect Vehicle"
