Description
'Boris has more fun on two wheels than should be legally possible.' - Richard Fidler, ABC
His mother may not know it, but Boris Mihailovic has lived a fast, furious, often politically incorrect life chasing the epiphanies of speed (the sensation, not the drug). For Boris, motorbike riding was the rite of passage into manhood he'd been searching for. Now, nearly 40 years since he first rode a bike, the wisdom of age has given him the perspective to look back and realise that some pretty wild things went down.
At the Altar of the Road Gods is about popping your motorcycle-buying cherry with an XJ650 Yamaha. It's about fines, feuds, and fractures, high-sides, tank-slappers, angry police, even angrier young men, crashing, getting up, cranky girlfriends, riding faster, outlaws, and partaking in copious amounts of alcohol and drugs. It is about mateship and motorcycles. Ultimately, it is about four decades of two-wheel-related mayhem. Just don't tell Boris's mum!
Be warned: may cause laughter, sleeplessness and the desire to buy a Lucifer-black Katana.

At the Altar of the Road Gods is a thrilling memoir that readers describe as an exhilarating and entertaining ride. The book delivers laugh-out-loud moments and is especially compelling for motorcycle enthusiasts. Although it's not necessary to have a passion for motorbikes to enjoy the book, it certainly enhances the experience. Mihailovic's writing is infused with humour and a palpable love for motorcycling, capturing the essence of two-wheeled freedom and adventure.
