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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49277830234416,"sku":"BDjegy","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/jegy-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773612369","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-jegy","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
