Publisher's Synopsis
Bean're is one of the last American nomads. He makes his own rules and travels to and from on his own schedule, which usually involves motorcycle events, like Sturgis and Daytona, or a trip to the Scandinavian counties, plus one that takes in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Morocco. His mode of travel is a very well worn Harley with over 200,000 miles on the odometer. With his long pony-tail and tall top hat, Bean're looks like the original drug fiend but has been clean and sober for over 23 years. Bean're: Motorcycle Nomad is both a non-fiction story of a life-long adventure and an inspirational tale of a man who is truly free - no credit card, no mortgagee payment, none of the problems that dog the rest of us. Though it might seem that Bean're has nothing, it turns out he has a wealth of the things that are truly important, such as friends in all fifty states of America, and indeed world-wide. These friends include the well-known and obscure, and some have contributed their own testimonials and stories about Bean'er in this book. With his status as a cult celebrity in the motorcycle world, Bean're is often the subject of photos taken at various events, and many of these form the centrepiece of this book. In addition to travel tales and testimonials, this new book includes tips on everything from breaking free of the daily grind, to learning how to live without chemicals. There's a chapter on Bean're's motorcycle travel tips: How to pack light, pass up the motels, keep an old bike on the road, and deal with the inevitable hassle of storms and breakdowns. For those who already count Bean're as a friend, this new book will bring a smile to their face. Those who don't know Bean're will feel like they do after reading the narrative account of one man who gave it all up and gained a great deal along the way, and can find more about him at www.everythingbeanre.com
