{"product_id":"the-perfect-vehicle-what-it-is-about-motorcycles","title":"The Perfect Vehicle: What It Is About Motorcycles","description":"In a book that is \"a must for anyone who has loved a motorcycle\" (Oliver Sacks), Melissa Pierson captures in vivid, writerly prose the mysterious attractions of motorcycling. She sifts through myth and hyperbole: misrepresentations about danger, about the type of people who ride and why they do so. \u003cem\u003eThe Perfect Vehicle\u003c\/em\u003e is not a mere recitation of facts, nor is it a polemic or apologia. Its vivid historical accounts-the beginnings of the machine, the often hidden tradition of women who ride, the tale of the defiant ones who taunt death on the racetrack-are intertwined with Pierson's own story, which, in itself, shows that although you may think you know what kind of person rides a motorcycle, you probably don't.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0393318095\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780393318098\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Pierson, Melissa Holbrook\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: W.
