Big Sid's Vincati Very interesting memoir by poet Frederick Seidel about his lifelong love affair with motorcycles in Harpers. Nice blog piece about it, plus a discussion about BSV in the comments. Worth checking out!

In the latest issue of Harper’s Magazine (unfortunately behind a subscriber’s firewall), there’s a terrific memoir about motorcycles by somebody named Frederick Seidel. As someone who owned a bike back in 1965, the topic remains of great interest to me. ...

Thanks. I've been collecting interesting people and motorcycles all my life, but this is a new one. There are many authors, artists, actors etc who had a motorcycle passion, often little known, because their passion was often surrounded by embarrassment. The best pieces of writing about the motorcycle experience I found in TE Lawrence's ... See Moredescriptions, and John Berger's essays in "Keeping a rendez-vous". Ralph Richardson, the famous British stage actor, always used bikes, well into his 70s. Interesting book project, really.
