Familiar roads. Familiar Places. It's easy to get stale riding the same old routes. Sometimes it hardly seems worthwhile to pull on all that motorcycle gear, start the engine and head out. Why bother? It is easy to tire of the road. Cold weather and occasional roadside troubles are all part of the pleasures of riding. Don't let the little things get you down. Sometimes all it takes to overcome the feeling that you've ridden all those roads too many times is a slight change in perspective and attitude.

This book is a grab-bag of motorcycle tales and travels - traversing northern Ontario forest roads on a $750 plastic ugly duckling, exploring Nova Scotia by road couch, ADV travel by ancient Guzzi, dipping into urban Ontario to visit a couple of enormous hounds - Nick takes us on diverse journeys on a variety of different bikes while avoiding the ennui which occasionally creeps into our motorcycling life.
