Do the worst rides make the best stories? Is the worst ride better than not riding? From the deserts of the Middle East to the U.S. and Canada, Michael Stewart has chased the allure of motorcycles for much of his life. Through them came a wealth of experience, and this question: what is the truth about motorcyles? Told with honesty and wit, Scraping Pegs is nonfiction throttled up, an irreverant, satirical inquiry into motorcycles. It's a bold narrative exploring two of the fundamental questions of life: why ride and how not to die.
