For some, motorcycles are just machines. For others, they're freedom itself?the open road, the hum of an engine, the scent of fuel and dust, and the long stretch of quiet between towns when life finally makes sense again.
In Motorcycles and Memories: Adventure Beyond the Road, attorney, entrepreneur, and lifelong rider Eric D. Beal shares the story of a lifetime spent chasing horizons. From his earliest days on trail bikes to cross-country journeys on modern BMW adventure machines, Beal invites readers into the lessons, laughter, and perspective that come from decades of travel on two wheels.
This is not just a motorcycle book. It's a reflection on risk and resilience, faith and freedom, and the enduring pull of the road that shapes who we become. Through moments of danger, joy, solitude, and revelation, Beal explores how the miles we travel can change not only our view of the world but also our understanding of ourselves.
Whether you've spent years in the saddle or simply dreamed of life's open roads, Motorcycles and Memories offers a reminder that the most meaningful destinations are often found far from where we expected.
Inside you'll find:
• Real stories from decades of riding?from small-town Texas to mountain passes and distant coastlines
• Reflections on freedom, faith, and the balance between ambition and peace
• A reminder that sometimes the hardest rides lead to the greatest clarity
Part memoir, part travelogue, and part meditation on purpose and perseverance, Motorcycles and Memories: Adventure Beyond the Road celebrates the ride, the journey, and the human spirit that keeps us moving forward?one mile at a time.
