They say that a man writes his own history, so... I'm going to call this book an autobiography. As with all autobiography's they all start at the beginning of the journey into the two wheeled love affair. Don began that journey in 1948. He tells about his delivering newspapers so he could buy a Cushman scooter. He goes on to tells us about his going from one bike to another,trying to find the right one. He tells about going from one race to another trying to at least finish. He goes on to tell us about the many road trips he took: the people he meet;the places he went. The only Harley in the book ends up in Montana not wanting to go home. This book spans some fifty years of time,lending some nostalgia for the older riders. Don finishes this book with a day by day diary of a forty day,10K road trip at the age of sixty six. If you do the math, Don will celebrate his seventy sixth B-Day this year. Not a bad read if your into old school dirt and desert racing.
