MDG on Speed

This is cool. Motorcycle Dream Garage was put up next to an entertaining write-up on Speed TV's web site. I wonder if this means I can influence them enough to show more live motorcycle racing, dump Pinks, and have Dave Despain cover more two-wheeled riders and events???? Probably not . . .

The Riding Man at Jay's Garage

Jay Leno's Garage is an incredible place. His collection is amazing and he has great taste in vehicles. He also drives pretty much every day, and has great video-heavy Web site.

Motorcycle racer and writer Mark Gardiner stopped in at Jay's place to talk about riding the Isle of Mann as well as his book about racing, Riding Man.

Publisher's Weekly Listing

As the countdown to the October 15th release date of Motorcycle Dream Garages draws near, the pre-publication activities have begun. Some of the most highly sought-after press coverage is in Publisher's Weekly, the trade magazine of the book industry. The magazine is highly respected, widely-read by booksellers as well as publishers, and costs nearly $200 per year for a subscription. Motorcycle Dream Garages was mentioned in the fall book preview done for the June 29th issue:

"Motorcycle Dream Garages (Oct., $35) by Lee Klancher opens the doors to places where bikes are repaired and friendships are made of beer, b.s. and bruised knuckles."

I believe I owe the book's publicist, Nichole, one of my favorite malt beverages for using the entirely appropriate beer & B.S. line!

Cheers,
Lee
