In 70's lingo: "heavy, man".

Written by a bunch of philosophers that own Harley's, I appreciate their try at trying to explain what owning and riding a Harley is all about, but for a couple of the chapters, they mostly failed. Too much emphasis on historical philosophers and how their philosophies relate to modern day riders.

This is volume 18 in a series called Popular Culture and Philosophy. I've seen titles from this series in bookstores and never looked beyond the cover, thinking them likely shallow, muddle-headed, oh-so-hip, and probably written by the kind of authors who like to use words like 'valorize', 'privilege' (as a verb, along with its adjectival form: 'privileged'), 'deconstruct', 'hegemony', and 'aporia'.
