Freedom's Rush: Tales from The Biker and The Beast

by Foster Kinn

When you're out riding, things happen. If you keep at it, everything happens.... Thus goes the simple wisdom of Foster Kinn in Freedom's Rush: Tales from a Biker and His Beast. Join Foster Kinn as he travels through the continental United States with an occasional detour into Canada, experience with him all that can happen in the "day in a life" of a biker: "Sometimes you're hungry, sometimes you eat too much. Sometimes you're unbearably hot, sometimes painfully cold. You lose things and get lost; you find things and find your way. You fall in love, you find things to despise. You bleed and you heal; you get sick, then you're invincible. The rains pelt, the snows blind, the winds make you helpless. You ride through gorgeous scenery and through desolate wastelands; all places are the way they're supposed to be and they're all perfect. It's life in microcosm." In part a celebration of the grandness of this wide, wonderful world, in part a meditation on the meaning of freedom and our sacred right to create, you will laugh with Kinn at all the wonderfully wacky characters he meets on the road, and you will be dazzled by the utter joy he finds as he rides. When you read the last line, you will know what he means when he writes: As long as freedoms exist, we will ride; As long as we ride, freedoms will exist.

great read.

I read this book whilst recuperating from a torn ligament in my right hand with plaster on it. My Harley is " sleeping " in the garage and i am so looking forward to being able to ride it again. A good feel good read. Thank you to the author.

A great book from a master storyteller. Kinn's encounters with people he meets on the road are engaging, funny, and heartfelt, and his descriptions of people, places and his surroundings make you feel like you are there!
