#143186 Mark7 (User) Look for me on MSN chat if you want. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1137 Re:Book Review - The Biker's Handbook 1 Month, 1 Week ago   As any person who has ridden a motorcycle for any length of time already knows: You don't need a handbook to be a biker. The effort this guy has made to create one is laughable on it's face. You don't study up to be a biker, you suck it up and ride. The lessons come on the road and each and every day that you live. Talk about a poser, this guy set the standard.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1886 Re:Book Review - The Biker's Handbook 1 Month, 1 Week ago   The book (Heroin Diaries) kicks ass. I don't have the soundtrack, although I'm diggin' the "Saints Of Los Angeles" album.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/12/02 11:35 By Frank_W.   Mrs. Barlow, I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron.

This guy is a real piece of work.   Logged     Mrs. Barlow, I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1512 Re:Book Review - The Biker's Handbook 1 Month, 1 Week ago   I saw this book in Barnes & Noble a few months ago and thumbed through it I was astounded at the one sided point of view. It certainly did NOT present the view of most of the bikers I've met (American OR metric)One quote that really stuck out to me was he was talking about REAL bikers ride harleys and will go without in order to buy one I would rather have my cake AND eat it too. I love Harleys and someday I will own one because I like them BUT I'm not going to eat top raman, drive a 25 year old rust bucket car and live in a trailer just to have a Harley Thanks for the review Frank!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1886 Re:Book Review - The Biker's Handbook 1 Month, 1 Week ago   When I saw the Roadie, I thought, "Why would I pay twice as much for a Harley?" It just struck me as really dumb, I guess. I may someday buy a Harley too, but it will be in addition to the Roadie and not as a replacement for it, just as my Roadie is not a substitute for a Harley. This fella's perspective is seriously myopic.   Logged     Mrs. Barlow, I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron.

I am glad that represents a very small percentage of the riders out there. Nice review Frank.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #143213 Darn Oldie (User) Frozen in Green Bay Expert Boarder Posts: 598 Re:Book Review - The Biker's Handbook 1 Month, 1 Week ago   smhowse wrote: I saw this book in Barnes & Noble a few months ago and thumbed through it I was astounded at the one sided point of view.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1886 Re:Book Review - The Biker's Handbook 1 Month, 1 Week ago   (I should have said that metrics cost HALF the price, rather than a third the price of a new Harley.) Ah well... If it wasn't screwed-up somewhere, it wouldn't be mine.   Logged     Mrs. Barlow, I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron.
