Scraping Pegs: The Truth About Motorcycles

Michael Stewart

Do the worst rides make the best stories? Do motorcycles travel the road to Joy?

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 motorcycling? Told with honesty and wit, Scraping Pegs is nonfiction throttled up; an irreverent, satirical look at a lifestyle and popular culture, including “rules” to help you survive the art of riding motorcycles or life (Rule # 1: Everyone Is Trying to Kill You!). It’s a bold narrative exploring two of the fundamental questions of life: why ride and how not to die. If you seek enlightenment, read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Scraping Pegs is truth. Motorcycle truth — it is what it is and it ain't what it ain't.

Press an experienced motorcyclist beyond their glory stories and they’ll tell you about sore asses, speeding tickets, dead batteries, and the drudgery of miles of nothingness. While showing off their road rash, they might spin Scraping Pegs-like tales of Deadeye Dick, that rogue sharpshooter with perfect aim, legless cousin Lenny, or Helmetless Mary McGregor, the still-gorgeous-in-spite-of-being-brain-dead neighbor. They’ll also share moments of absolute clarity and peace found only in the saddle, cruising down the Road to Joy, accelerating out of a corner, riding across desert sand, or up a mountain trail. The shift that happens Before-Motorcycle and On-Motorcycle. The constant swing between nothingness and awareness that can happen when you’re riding. How the drone of the engine and the wind can make your mind think about nothing and then everything. Days and months of life happen in minutes and hours on a motorcycle. Riding is a quest, like life condensed in time. The perfect ride doesn’t last long, life is like that. There are disastrous mechanical failures, weather battles, monotony, soured relationships, bad attitudes, and even death in store for some who seek to tame their wild beasts on iron horses. Scarping Pegs, The Truth About Motorcycles is a love letter to motorcycles, tempered by a suicidal deer on a highway, a determined sniper in the bush and reminders to ride with a Motorcycle State of Mind to improve the odds of staying alive to read More Scraping Pegs.
