DOWNLOAD EBOOKreaking the Limit is one woman's account of riding her motorcycle from New Jersey to Alaska and back. Realizing that years of work and travel in other people's countries made her a stranger in her own, and with an invitation to meet her biological father for the first time, Karen Larsen set out on a fifteen-thousand-mile trip with nothing but her motorcycle and the barest of essentials. Larsen's journey tests the limits of her own endurance, challenges her long-held beliefs and values, and asks what it means to belong to a family. Through the the fields of Iowa and the deserts of the Southwest, over the Rockies and across Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, Larsen confronts questions of femininity, family, independence, and personal identity. Her journey speaks to the immense space and over-whelming beauty of North America, as well as to the diversity and vitality of the people she meets along the way. Breaking the Limit invites you to join her as she braces against the wind, trades security for freedom, sacrifices stability for motion, and opens herself up to the vast canopy of a continent.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe truth is this. Riding a motorcycle well is part skill, part willing to learn, part understanding of basic physics, and part giving a damn about your safety and the safety of those around you. You don't have to know everything about motorcycles to ride well. On the other hand, there are topics that every rider should understand in order to control their motorcycle effectively and REDUCE THEIR CHANCES OF CRASHING.This book addresses those topics. Can you reduce your risk to zero? No. Skilled riders crash and die every day when there was NOTHING they could have done to avoid it. But it is also true that under-skilled riders crash and die every day when there WAS something they could have done to avoid it. Motorcycle safety is a choice. This book isn't just for riders starting out. This is the book I would hand to someone who's been riding for decades and wants to reduce their risk of crashing. This is the book I would give my son if he told me he wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle. Mastering the art of riding a motorcycle well is about understanding and overcoming rider fear. It's about having the head knowledge of how your motorcycle works so you can make it go where you want it to go. It's about understanding why riders crash so you can avoid making the same mistakes. It's about taking ownership of your riding safety. Whether you've been riding for decades or are just starting out, if you're serious about mastering the art of riding well, this book is for you. If I didn't think I could measurably reduce my chances of being in a crash, I wouldn't ride. I believe you can reduce your chances too. - David Mixson

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"When Mike mentioned the idea of riding our motorcycles from Alabama to Alaska, I laughed. Three days later, I told him that I thought we should do it." - David Mixson Why is it that we make lame excuses of why we can't live our BIG DREAMS? Our journey from Alabama to Alaska was less about making it there-and more about discovering things about ourselves we didn't know. It was about uncovering goodness that often goes unnoticed. It was about doing what we weren't sure was possible. It was about overcoming FEAR. Here's what one reader said: "Wow! You were in Hyder, Alaska before I put the book down the first time! Your narrative made me feel like I was almost there with you. I really appreciate the insights during the prep, the ride, and in hindsight. The best part is that you've made me excited about pursuing my own BIG DREAM. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that has a dream or who enjoys riding. Thank you for sharing your adventure!" - Lisa (a reader in Birmingham) I wrote ride reports at the end of each day and posted them online for friends and family to read. But I only told part of the story. This book peels back the layers and describes what was really going through my head before, during, and after our ride. This book took me over five years to finish. In many ways, that's a blessing because it allowed me to remember the adventure at a pace I could appreciate and honor. - David Mixson Motorcycle Dream Ride is the second book in the "Motorcycle Smarts" book series.
