I'll second that emotion. I've been reading Cameron's writings/musings for his entire career, so it's pretty clear where I fit on that particular continuum.

Man, called out by name. Usually when that happens I figure I'm in trouble.

A good read. Thanks for sharing the link and Cameron's writing. I've never read anything by him before. Cycle World has a blog with all or most of his columns. I'll need to catch up.

And it would be a pleasure to sit down with a moto-writer like that. I don't often run into people like that in the world. Perhaps if I spend more time not trying to escape I would!

What I enjoy most about Cameron's writing is his references to his experiences stretching back to his BSA Bantam. Motorcycles back then were anything but foolproof. Keeping them intact was a constant battle.

But like Steve's prose, Kevin Cameron, and Peter Eagan, make you want to just sit and look at your bikes and hit the road.
