Revved! Obsessions of a Midlife Motorcyclist
Looking for a good read to pass the long winter days? Revved! tells the story of a mid-career professor who unexpectedly becomes immersed in the world of motorcycling. Most memoirs of this genre are predictable and mediocre. This one isn’t.
After 25 years and a half million miles, Stuart A. Kirk takes you with him across 13 engaging essays. As expected, he first recounts his discovery of the complexities and pleasures of the moto life—the escape, adventure, and mastery. Then you ride with him as he becomes an avid motorcyclist and copes with the dangers and exhilarations of learning to ride well.
His passage into motorcycling alters his identity, perspective on life, and state of mind. The insights are thoughtful and useful, no matter how long you may have ridden or where and why you chose to ride. The stories flow like perfect sweepers, and the prose is erudite and beautiful. It is a fast, smooth, skilled and rewarding read.
The underlying story is not only about riding motorcycles. With humor and insight Kirk describes a common midlife quest for new challenges—accompanied by risks and mistakes—as he reflects on a life in the process of change. Whether you have already experienced such a passage or are toying with undertaking something different, Revved! offers guidance about facing fears, finding like-minded companions, gaining mastery, and developing an changed sense of self. The rides may be on a motorcycle, but the trip is about life.
Foreword by Melissa Holbrook Pierson, author of The Perfect Vehicle and The Man Who Would Stop at Nothing.
