About this author

edit data

Lance Oliver, author of The Ride So Far: Tales from a Motorcycling Life , took his first motorcycle rides on a humble Honda 50 (see the chapter "The Most Important Motorcycle Ever Built") and has since ridden anything he could get his hands on, from a Ducati 999s (see "Dropping the Ducati") to a 1968 Motobi 125 (see "Blind Date in Vermont"). He has worked as a newspaper reporter and editor in New York, Florida and Puerto Rico, as a volunteer English teacher in Costa Rica, and as a magazine and website editor at the American Motorcyclist Association. He currently lives in the woodsy hills of Ohio with his wife, Ivonne, and a collection of formerly homeless animals, and works as a freelance writer and translator.
