The Devil Can Ride 
The World’s Best Motorcycle Writing

Authors such as Hunter Thompson, Robert Pirsig, and Mark Singer 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 Thompson and Pirsig, The Devil Can Ride features works by Peter Egan,  T.E. Lawrence, James Stevenson, Jamie Elvidge, John Hall, and Kevin Cameron.
