A Magnificent Ride to Nowhere
My Conversation with the Open Road
More than fifty years on two wheels. Half a million miles. A lifetime of learning what the road can—and cannot—tell us.
Beginning with a 1972 Yamaha 350, A Magnificent Ride to Nowhere follows a lifelong conversation with motorcycling. Movement becomes a way of thinking about time, trust, memory, and the decisions that shape a life.
This is a memoir for readers drawn to the experience behind the miles: what it means to keep riding, what changes as we grow older, and what we carry with us when the journey turns inward.
