How to Ride Off-Road Motorcycles by Gary LaPlante Pdf

Off-road riding is one of motorcycling's most popular pursuits and also one of its best training grounds for improving street-riding skills.

No matter the specific pursuit, all dirt riding (and much street riding) shares the same basic skill set. How to Ride Off-Road Motorcycles schools the reader in all the skills necessary to ride safely and quickly off-road. Chapters cover the basics, such as body position, turning, braking, and throttle control, then proceed to advanced techniques, such as sliding, jumps, wheelies, hill-climbing, and more. If you've ever wanted to try dirt riding or if you're an experienced rider looking to sharpen your skill set, How to Ride Off-Road Motorcycles is a perfect riding coach.

Off the Road by Carolyn Cassady Pdf

This memoir by the woman at the center of the Beat movement is “a great book as well as a wonderful autobiography” (The Washington Post Book World). Written by the woman who loved them all—as wife of Cassady, lover of Kerouac, and friend of Ginsberg—this riveting and intimate memoir spans one of the most vital eras in twentieth-century literature and culture, including the explosive successes of Kerouac’s On the Road and Ginsberg’s Howl, the flowering of the Beat movement, and the social revolution of the 1960s. Artist, writer, and designer Carolyn Cassady reveals a side of Neal Cassady rarely seen—that of husband and father, a man who craved respectability, yet could not resist the thrills of a wilder, and ultimately more destructive, lifestyle. “To the familiar history of the Beat generation, Carolyn Cassady adds a proprietary chapter marked with newness, self-exposure, love and poignancy.” —Publishers Weekly “Rich with gossip, historically significant photographs, intimate memories, [and] unpublished letters.” —The New York Times “A poignant recollection—truthful, coarse, and inviting—teeming with the spirit of the men who inspired and symbolized the dreams of a generation.” —San Francisco Chronicle

The Four-Wheeler's Companion by Mark Bostwick Pdf

If you are thinking about getting away from it all, the third edition of the Four-Wheeler's Companion will help you put your ideas into action. Featuring routes from all over southwestern BC - from the Chilliwack River Valley and Fraser Canyon to Squamish and Hope - this guide describes the best places to go, how to get there and what to expect once you're on the road. According to Bostwick, "British Columbia may have the best four-wheeling in North America. The combination of great natural beauty and the constantly replenished legacy of abandoned roads provides us with an incredible abundance and variety of four-wheel drive challenges." The Four-Wheeler's Companion guides you through some of this spectacular back-country to secluded fishing holes, scenic wilderness summits and rugged wildlife viewing spots. This edition contains 28 new trips, including a new section on routes off the Coquihalla Highway, and updates on old ones ("the logging roads of one decade become the four-wheel trails of the next, and the backpacker's bushwhack of the third"). The routes range from easy rides for the beginning off-roader to difficult and dangerous drives for the experienced only, when it helps to have a mechanic on board! The Companion also includes maps, photos, difficulty ratings and tips on equipment, safety and driving. As always, Bostwick urges drivers to use existing roads, rather than blaze new ones, and his section on the ethics of four-wheeling provides ways to integrate the sport of four-wheeling into a wider environmental consciousness. His expertise makes the third edition of the Four-Wheeler's Companion bigger, better and more thorough than ever.

Off-Road with Clarkson, Hammond and May by Phillipa Sage Pdf

'Amazing adventures. Apparently I was there.' Richard Hammond For over 12 years Phillipa Sage worked alongside Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May as their PA, gofer, and fixer where she saw the boys at their best and, hilariously, at their worst. A closet petrol head, Phillipa started working in the motor industry on live events over 20 years ago and first worked with Jeremy Clarkson in 1997. She proved to be a loyal, trusted friend and colleague to all the presenters—from back in the beginning with Tiff Needell, Vicki Butler-Henderson and Quentin Wilson—to the now infamous trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May, and was a key member of what became known as 'The Bubble', the exclusive, dysfunctional working family that toured the world. With an enormous budget, they travelled like rock stars—with super cars, yachts, private jets, helicopters, and five-star wining and dining—taking their unique brand of motoring madness to 18 countries, 31 cities and to over 2 million fans in arenas and at festivals from New Zealand to Norway. Supported by a large crew and their personal entourage, Clarkson, Hammond and May, when not performing in their extraordinary, high octane, live action, motoring theatre, indulged in extravagant holidays. They and their 'Bubble' family relaxed in luxury resorts or private houses entertaining themselves with pool parties, drinking, heli-sightseeing, drinking, private motorboat cruises, drinking, jet skiing, sailing, drinking and eating, and drinking. In Off-Road with Clarkson, Hammond & May, Phillipa shares the tour highs, lows and laughter of three clever, funny, and very stupid motoring journalists.

Off Road by George Epp Pdf

Expect the unexpected and the unusual when you go Off Road. Take Garrett—the hired man—who picks the right numbers in the lottery, but can’t seem to pick the right draw. Or Elvira Classen who—shunned by her heartthrob in high school—gets her revenge at an auction sale. Some of these stories are told with a tongue-in-cheek humour while others tackle the sterner side of reality: Old Mrs. Burg coming to terms with a gay son; the widower farmer who meets God in the cow pasture . . . or maybe not. Although mainly set in the Canadian prairie, the events portrayed are really about all places, and all times.
