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. The Perfect Vehicle 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.Binding Type: Paperback

Warm and cozy.
The wearable blanket is better than I hoped. We are in Florida and experiencing below cold and this came just at the right time. It is soft and the pocket is large enough that my phone is not in danger of falling out. It is well worth it if you have trouble with being cold, and you don't have to uncover to get up.

Warm and snuggly
I work from home often and sitting at my dest I am usually cold. This has been the perfect solution to keep warm and still be able to have my arms move freely. The material is very thick and soft. I loved this so much I bought a second one!

Perfect gift
I bought this for my son’s girlfriend. She was excited to receive it. The quality was nice and was soft and cozy. She is average height and weight and it fit her well. The color was as described. It was the perfect weight to still be able to do things around the house while wearing a blanket.
