Riding with Attitude - Don Norris

Well I finally finished "Riding with Attitude" by Don Norris. It was a pretty entertaining book by a Canadian author about his life and experiences with motorcycles, motorcycle gangs, and riding associations. Definitely worth the read if you're into riding a motorcycle or have thought about getting one. The author articulates his experiences very well despite getting up on his soapbox to preach about the Police and their alleged abuse of power. He is careful not to paint all officers of the law with the same brush but tries to make a case that they lack morals when dealing with bikers and riding groups. Since I personally haven't felt this type of persecution I have a hard time sympathizing with Don on this point. He does paint a vivid picture of some of his adventures and adds a comic element to some of the mishaps that are bound to happen to you when you own a motorcycle. It was definitely a pleasure to read.

I recieved this book from my ex-girlfriend for my birthday back in September and I'm glad I finally had a chance to read it through. If you're still reading my blog, thank you for the great gift! :)
