Authors, poets, and songwriters like Tom Waits, Arlo Guthrie, Hunter Thompson, and Robert Pirsig have written about the motorcycle, that icon for outlaws, rebels, thieves, and beat poets. This collection of motorcycle tales features the best of the vast collection of motorcycle writing created since old Gottlieb Daimler first bolted a crude internal-combustion engine to his wooden two-wheeled Einspur in 1876. In addition to essays from writers like Thompson and Pirsig, The Devil Can Ride features writers like Peter Egan, Fred Hafele, Patrick Symmes, Ewan McGregor, and Jim Rogers. Photographs, old posters, tickets, and other appropriate art and memorabilia illustrate this literary collection.
