“A year from now, you won’t remember why you stayed home, but you never forget a motorcycle trip.”
Peter Egan, Leanings 3: On the Road and in the Garage with Cycle World's Peter Egan

“It had been 110 degrees in Bermuda Dunes, but the Cub was surprisingly comfortable in this hot weather. The right-side window swung upward and clipped to the underside of the wing, and the long clamshell door folded downward on its hinges, so it was open and breezy as a Jeep with the doors removed. The landscape went by like a slow-moving mural, and you could see more of the ground below than was possible in almost any other airplane. The wind wafted through the cockpit but didn’t tear at your hair, deafen you, or try to blow your hat off. We sat in the shade, flying in twin armchairs beneath a large yellow parasol.”
Peter Egan, Landings in America: Two People, One Summer, and a Piper Cub

“Friends of mine who flew usually wanted to go ever higher and faster, aspiring to own Mooneys or Bonanzas or twin-engine Beach Barons so they could travel long distances and save time. But I was drawn toward the slightly funky, romantic end of the spectrum: glorified kites you flew just to be up there, looking around. I had nothing against speed and altitude as long as the airplane itself was also an interesting place to be, so that you never forgot for even a minute that you were in a machine with personality and presence. Given unlimited funds, I aspired much more to own a Stearman or a Gipsy Moth than a Learjet. Then again, I had the same problem with cars, motorcycles, and sailboats, always trying to balance utility with charm and historical resonance. Sometimes utility lost out.”
