The Ghost of Scootertrash Past Mark Tiger Edmonds |
Synopsis:
Anyone who’s ridden over a million miles on a motorcycle is going to have stories—and lots of them. Still, Tiger Edmonds tells us that if he can have only one or two more shots at penning recollections of his cross-country trips, he might get it right. That’s like Bob Dylan saying that if he could only write a couple more dozen ballads he might master the form. This book is filled with just what fans of Tiger’s first book, Longrider, loved: pithy observations about what America has become, startlingly beautiful descriptions of America’s roads and the people on them, and candid vignettes that find plenty of positive character traits in non-CEOs and other denizens of the economic downside—scootertrash, in Tiger’s terms. Just don’t expect political correctness. ISBN: 193198204X Trade Paper $14.95 Sale: $8.00 210 pages |

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.
