"Like all great quest stories, Motorcycles I've Loved depicts a journey that demands the daring and determination to defy those voices (including our own) that try to tell us we're not cut out for the journey. Lily Brooks-Dalton has blazed a trail all her own, and the resulting memoir is as forthright as a well-worn leather motorcycle jacket, and as beautiful as a country road rolling out just up ahead."
--Rosie Schaap, author of Drinking with Men

"Engaging."
