Fool's Gear: A Completely Devastating Thing I'll Probably Do Again

Fool's Gear: A Completely Devastating Thing I'll Probably Do Again

Some decisions make sense, but others make memories. Fool's Gear tells the true story of a US army captain who heads out on a cross-country motorcycle trip in the dead of winter to visit home and move on from a divorce, meeting strangers and adventures along the way. The back of a 2005 Triumph Bonneville will take the reader over 4,000 miles from Wilmington, North Carolina, to the author's childhood home in San Diego, California. In between lie expansive forests, small towns, open plains, snow-capped peaks, barren deserts, and wind-swept beaches. With every breathtaking view and narrowly avoided disaster comes heartbreak and healing, offering a novel journey relatable to anyone who has felt the highs and lows of life. Fans of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Jupiter's Travels will appreciate the wry humor and boundless adventure of Fool's Gear. While motorcycle enthusiasts can connect with the challenges and triumphs of the road, any reader will benefit from the healthy dose of two-wheeled philosophy.
