Editorial Reviews

Review

After reading through just the first few pages, we're sure you will agree that this unique and entertaining collection of real life experiences and tall tales is destined to become an enduring classic. -- Mike Walburn, Dual Star, spring 1998

Anyone who's ever had any sort of off-road disaster or highly embarrassing moment-which is to say, anyone who's ever ridden off-road-will no doubt find something familiar and something to smile at in this book. And if you're not an off-road rider, you may be tempted to start. -- Larry Tate, Inside Motorcycles, November 1998

Wally Klammer is one of that rare breed-a biker who can also write. And he has fun with both. His recent epic advertises "Humor, Insight and Some Really Weird Adventures" and delivers on all counts. -- Mike Hunter, Powersport News, April 1998

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring with a splatter of humor, July 18, 2002

This review is from: Dirt Bike Chronicles (Paperback)

I was hoping to read some really cool stories about people's experiences out on the trail. While to an extent that happens, the stories are very boring and seemingly written by a non-writer. There are some really dumb stories as well. For example, there is one that deals with a black hole that a rider rides through and defeats some type of dragon (yes, I said dragon). There is another story about some guy who finds himself stranded on the trail and eventually finds himself making love to an environmentalist woman. Maybe you would enjoy this book more than I. I simply did not get it.
