Autorenporträt

About the Author Ron Davis caught the motorcycle bug at age fifteen. Forty years and about twenty bikes later, he has remained an enthusiast, especially for bikes carrying the BMW roundel. Over that period, he's also squeezed in a full-time career teaching high school and university classes in writing, photography, and publishing, while also working as a social media writer for the tourism industry in Northwest Ontario and as an associate editor and columnist for BMW Owners News. More often tongue-in-cheek commentary than a technical or travel focus, his writing has been featured by BMW Motorcycle Magazine, On The Level, Backroads Motorcycle TourMagazine, Volume One, Our Wisconsin, and the National Writing Project, and his essays (some about riding) can be heard regularly on Wisconsin Public Radio's "Wisconsin Life." His first book, like this one, is a compilation of columns, essays, and features with some connection to the motorcycle life; however, Rubber Side Down also includes not only new motorcycling stories, but reviews, personality profiles, and a few memoirs. Ron said, "One of the most gratifying responses I heard to Shiny Side Up was that you didn't have to be a motorcyclist to enjoy it. I hope that's even more true with this second volume."
