101 Road Tales
Popular motojournalist Clement Salvadori has been sharing his stories from the road with the readers of Rider magazine since 1988. Now, 101 of those engaging Road Tales have been brought together in one book, cleverly illustrated by his long-time friend Gary Brown. Salvadori loves to travel by motorcycle and loves to write. His combining the two has given him a thoroughly satisfactory life, and his contentment and joy of living shine through this collection of columns from the past two decades. Though he does admit to being destination-oriented at times, many of his columns focus on the little things that make the journey itself the most memorable -- the rhythm of the road, the music of the bike, the beauty of the ride, and the exhilaration of being at one with the bike and the road. Meet some of the characters he has encountered, laugh with him at some of his blunders, and join him for bread, cheese, wine, and a stupendous vista somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of humanity.

Interesting reading, even for someone (like me) who isn't a motorcyclist. I can imagine a motorcycle enthusiast might find this very compelling.
While the title indicates more stories of the road, which is what I was hoping. There were enough road tales to keep me reading, and the shortness of the articles compiled in this tome made it good for reading at leisure.
I learned a bit, appreciated hearing another perspective on what I knew, and otherwise felt it a good read.

Clement Salvadori is a long-time motojournalist for Rider magazine. This book comprises a collection of 101 of his columns describing his adventures and experiences riding motorcycles. His writing is descriptive and entertaining, at least for bikers, and he brings to life the fun of travel by motorcycle.
