Mark "Tiger" Edmonds

"A tale of just passin' through"

    Take a BMW motorcycle, one million miles, and Mark Edmonds. Combine and distill them for over thirty-five years and you’ll get an insightful, compassionate (and passionate) view of America and what it means to all of us who are, after all, "only passing through." From a slum in Detroit to a backwoods church in Alabama, you’ll breathe the air of what it means to be American-the lovely and the not so lovely. Mr. Edmonds’ assessment of America and the changes it’s undergone is as unswerving as this assessment of himself. He is, after all, riding his own pilgrimage-just passin’ through.

 About the Author: 

I was born into a Golden Age in America; I celebrated my 65th birthday a month or so ago. These were the best times this country has ever known for a lot of reasons. I grew up in an era when America had the finest education system the world has ever known.

So, I ride old German iron. When I’m not doing that, I am often afield with a dog and a gun or standing in an incoming tide with my good fishing pole or riding my horse. I prefer pale horses and all my good dogs have been black. I like my women laughing, my occasional drink of whiskey is taken neat, and I drink my coffee black. I can’t abide a soap opera or a psychodrama. I am better off outdoors, unless it’s cold, and then I’m better off farther south and outdoors.
