About the Author
Peter Egan is one of the most readable writers in the motorcycle enthusiast world. His work first appeared in Cycle World magazine in 1977, and he has been a regular fixture there ever since. Peter lives near Madison, Wisconsin with his wife, Barb, a houseful of dogs and cats, and a garage filled with motorcycles, cars, and the sound set for his garage blues band.
Cycle World was founded in 1962 by Joe Parkhurst and is currently owned by Bonnier Corporation. It is the largest circulation motorcycle magazine in the United States. www.cycleworld.com

I didn't see it coming when it popped up on my screen, Leanings 3 is coming. Manna from heaven, at last. I suspect you are already addicted to Peter's fixes on 2, 4, or even 3-wheelers. Leanings 3 does not disappoint, no need for citations here, merely to affirm that Peter knows what his readership hungers for and he shoved out tubfuls of it. Having read his body of works, Peter's formula of self deprivation (or is it self degradation in his case), and social irreverence is something many of us can identify with. Intended or not, I have always detect veiled undertone messages within his words. They are social commentaries of varied observations with cerebrally deep fried scenes, waking us to either conscious or unconscious self examinations of common follies, all delivered via our wheels of choice. 2 centuries from now, for a doctorate's research of American society in the latter 20th century, Peter's works would serve. For sure nothing new in Leaning 3, within are re-runs of prior CW pieces. But then I return to Sarah Brightman's voice, my favorite Mexican dive, Negra Modelo draft, my shredded jean and dark sweater, and Peter's articles. Motorbooks has done us all a favor with Leaning 3 with its publication, save me the trouble of digging through buried boxes of assorted magazines for re-reads. I am starting a new tradition of reading Pter's works once every ten years, they are that good. Peter has become our cult leader with sizable followers, as if he is not already awared.

Cant get enough of this scibes scribblings. Look forward to each and every issue of CycleWorld just for his writing. The first two books are constant companions in my library. This one(#3) has all the promise that the first two delivered

Peter Egan should be required reading. I limit myself to just a few chapters a day so I can give each story due consideration. After I read the last story, I found myself reading the index. More, please...
