About the Author
David Morris, the curator of the exhibit, writes, "For the celebrity who's every breath and utterance is monitored by both the general public and immediate entourage, the motorcycle offers more than a ticket to heaven. Motorcycling is also the great equalizer. A celebrity out for a ride is no longer the television personality...they are one of a family."

Great coffee table book for the holiday - not just for bikers,
By

This review is from: Motostars: Celebrities + Motorcycles (Hardcover)
Mr. Morris has crafted a unique book. It provides a special insight into famous individuals and their fascination with motorcycling as a means of escape, a declaration of personal freedom, and a vehicle for their philanthropy. The book also reminds us that these people value their membership in the family of motorcyclists as much as they value their success. Morris' eloquent text, and the excellent photographs as well, make this a must-have for the enthusiast; and a great introduction for the neophyte.

An illustrated history of famous persons and motorcycles; not just for enthusiasts,
By D. A. Morris "David Morris" (Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Motostars: Celebrities + Motorcycles (Hardcover)
This richly illustrated 168-page companion to the exhibit at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum presents a comprehensive examination of the relationship between celebrities and motorcycling. In addition to exploring celebrities' fascination with motorcycle culture, the book delves into the impact of celebrity culture on the motorcycle industry. Written by respected motorcycle journalist David Morris, whose articles and features appear regularly in Robb Report MotorCycling (now MotorCycling) magazine. From the introduction:
"For all their power and means, the renowned individual, no matter what their fame or fortune, are confronted with the inescapable reality of a machine that defies them, yet enchants them. Get it wrong, and the motorcycle communicates with brutal consequence. Get it right, and one escapes all the preoccupations and troubles of the material world. "For the celebrity whose every breath and utterance is monitored by both general public and immediate entourage, the motorcycle offers a more than a ticket to heaven. On a motorcycle, one rediscovers oneself."

Blown Away,
By Billy Page "Billy Page" (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Motostars: Celebrities + Motorcycles (Hardcover)
I purchased this book because I am a fan of any work created by Mr. Morris. Although I have no real relationship to the subject matter, I was blown away by how the insights, facts and antedotes somehow intimately drew me into this uncharted territory. I felt quenched, enriched and entertained. As always with Mr. Morris, I was completely satisfied.
