Book Description
Button-down shirts, old Volvos, Jane Austen, English professor - and motocross? Brian Larsen (PhD, University of St. Andrews, Scotland) is all of these things. "People at the track are shocked that I'm an English professor," he notes, "and people at the university are shocked that I race motorcycles. In fact, I'm shocked myself." The chronicles begin in the 1970s - the golden age of motorcycling - and continue into a more recent golden age of reconnecting with motorcycles as a late middle-aged adult. His small town experience as a farmer and cattle rancher adds to the mix.
