Back in the Saddle

By Brian W. Dowsley

Brian Dowsley is a motorcycle zealot. As a boy, it was love at first sight and his ardor has never waned. Life, however, had a way keeping him from this passion: a career in the U.S. Navy, the responsibilities of a position in industry, owning and operating a small business. In 2007, he retired. Two months later he bought a top-of-the-line Harley. He was looking for adventure. From day one, he found it. Back in the Saddle chronicles the first fourteen months of a great odyssey. Brian will battle gale-force wind, tropical storm-strength rain, and sub-freezing cold. He'll tests his endurance to Iron Butt standards. He'll even argue with a vulture at hurricane speeds (spoiler alert-the vulture loses). All the while, he'll visit locales only dreamed of: the Old Chisholm Trail and Dodge City, the Ozarks in fall, and one of the all-time greatest motorcycle events in the world: Daytona Bike Week. Come join Brian as he gets . . . back in the saddle. With close to 600 photos and illustrations, Dowsley not only describes events, but brings them to you in living color. This adventure journal takes you well beyond the enticement to visit many of the places he has . . . you'll feel you've already been there! Who is this book for: (1) Those who enjoy stories about motorcycles and the motorcycle culture. (2) Those who enjoy stories of travel and adventure. (3) Those who plan to buy a touring motorcycle and would like an idea of the learning curve ahead.
