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.
