Think You Don't Like Poetry?
Try this by racer-poet Ed Milich
[Safety Wire]
Christ on a crotchrocket.
I have stabbed myself with safety wire again.
In a moment of reflection, I consider
that the name “safety wire” is a misnomer
as I have never more consistently
scratched,
impaled
hooked,
pierced,
or otherwise
injured myself with any other product
as I have with this one,
particularly a product
that purports to exist
for the purpose of safety.

Wrenched Words and Chick Pics
Moto-Book Tour Northern California
Christina Shook and Ed Milich tour motorcycle destinations in San Francisco and northern California to promote their recently released motorcycle books: Milich’s "Wrenched: Man and Machine" and Shook’s photo book, "Chicks on Bikes."
Please stop by for one (or more) evenings which promise lively readings from each, autographed copies, and probably even refreshments! Each stop is a destination in itself and worth visiting.
