Critics Review

“This book is a time machine. It captures what motorcycle culture looks like right now–across borders, backgrounds, and beliefs. Years from now, these stories will show people how we moved through the world. Eric Hendrikx isn’t preserving motorcycles. He’s preserving meaning. And that’s why this book earns its place.”

–Mike Wolfe, Host of American Picker“Nothing delivers you into the moment like a good bike, stripping away the endless distractions and inauthenticity of modern life. Whether you’re slow rolling down a quiet country road or chasing a record at Bonneville with the throttle pegged and the pushrods screaming, the experience is the same–instant Zen. In Motorcycle Life, Eric Hendrikx captures that feeling through the voices of riders, reminding us why motorcycles–and the people who ride them–continue to matter.”

–Brad Richards, VP of Design & Creative Direction, Harley-Davidson

“This book does what the best rides do–it takes you somewhere honest.”

–Norman Reedus

Motorcycling’s appeal lies in the universal joy of motion, balance, and shared experience. In Motorcycle Life, Eric Hendrikx brings together riders who articulate that usually unspoken feeling–creating a powerful portrait of why we ride. –Mark Hoyer, Editor-in-Chief, Cycle World
