Title: Disappointing
Review: When my friends & relatives rib me about the (relatively) high mileage I put on my bike, I usually respond by saying, "I didn't buy the thing to look at it in my garage!" By Mr. LaPlante's own admission, however, that's exactly why he bought his. This book is a painstakingly detailed account of the author's own poseur nature. Everything he does is motivated by a desire to impress others and be seen as a "heavy bro" (I guess this means a "cool guy" or something) by his equally poseur friends. This is a book for people who spend more time polishing their bikes than riding them, whose idea of a good time is standing around drinking and ogling the billet jewelry on each others' bikes. Although amusing in spots, it very artfully misses the whole point of riding.
