Motorcycles and Memories: Adventure Beyond the Road

What do motorcycles mean to a life well-lived? For Eric D. Beal, they’ve been freedom and fear, risk and redemption—a lifelong companion on the road to faith. From childhood rides through his years in the Marine Corps to middle-age rediscovery, Beal’s memories range from lighthearted to life-threatening. The bikes changed, the roads changed, but the calling never did. Motorcycles and Memories isn’t just a look back. Determined to become a true Adventure Rider, Beal sets out on a series of journeys that test his endurance, abilities, and belief. By the end, he finds what he’d been chasing all along—not in the destination, but in the ultimate purpose. As a memoir, travelogue, and reflection on discovery, faith, and second chances, Motorcycles and Memories celebrates the machines that carry us, the roads we ride, and the memories that remain long after the days end View Less
