In a book that is "a must for anyone who has loved a motorcycle" (Oliver Sacks), Melissa Pierson captures in vivid, writerly prose the mysterious attractions of motorcycling. She sifts through myth and hyperbole: misrepresentations about danger, about the type of people who ride and why they do so. The Perfect Vehicle is not a mere recitation of facts, nor is it a polemic or apologia. Its vivid historical accounts-the beginnings of the machine, the often hidden tradition of women who ride, the tale of the defiant ones who taunt death on the racetrack-are intertwined with Pierson's own story, which, in itself, shows that although you may think you know what kind of person rides a motorcycle, you probably don't.

Better then OEM
Size: (Pack of 1)
I’m writing this for my 2022 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T.. Honda wanted to charge me $85 to replace the air filter, immediately after I bought this filter for $17. Just changed it 5 minutes ago and let me tell you, it was identical to the oem Honda filter. Fit perfectly, quality was same if not better then the original one. Functions amazing and air quality is great. Car definitely felt happy after replacing it. 10/10

Routine Maintenance
Size: (Pack of 1)
This is my go-to replacement when I conduct maintenance on my personal vehicle. The item is amazingly easy to install (use YouTube tutorials if necessary). The quality and value for the money is better than what I can receive at my local service center. The option to order this every six months as Subscribe & Save is worth it!
