They say everyone’s a critic. Time to find out…
This silly book, Coming and Going on Bikes, was at least momentarily the #1 seller on Amazon for Kindle books in the category of “Sports / Miscellaneous / Essays” and “Non-Fiction / Automotive / Motorcycles / History. ” That may seem pretty specific — it’s not like we’re competing with the Bible or Herman Melville — but hey, I was excited.
Yay for us! I didn’t do that. Friends did it for me. A whole bunch of you actually clicked the BUY button on that page.
Thank you, sports fans! Now, being the greedy feller I am, I’d like to ask you one more favor. Hopefully, there are a few of you Kindlers out there who thought you got your money’s worth out of your $2.99. Would you do me the courtesy of investing a few minutes into writing a review on Amazon’s page?
The goal here is to remain productively semi-underemployed so I can write some more of these things. I’m countin’ on ya — and clearly I’m counting on the right people.
Again, I thank you. See you on the road.

"Jack Lewis takes the overall literary crown with his new book...there’s a lot more to Lewis’s work than what it feels like to ride motorcycles.” — Ultimate Motorcycling
"Insightful and from the heart ... a driven and much recommended look into the mind and conflict of the next generation of war veterans. " — Midwest Book Review (Reviewer's Choice)
Just finished : Coming and Going on Bikes….the only real silly thing is the low Kindle price.
It’s a read worth lots more, but let’s hope it stays #1 for awhile.
Almost makes me want to do the a Trans American Trail just to get some real dirt experience….. All so far is asphalt and gravel…. My Weestrom has taken me on all those western roads in the book…ID, OR, WA, UT, NV, CA, AZ, MT ….. Now my wife is a licensed rider… Favorite road …. FR39 Oregon….sorry not at 80mph.

Keep up the good work, I’ll keep reading it. Dick
