About the Author
Bob Chase is a rider-focused, habitual storyteller with a strong interest in motorcycle racing history. Looking back much more often than forward, and never taking anything too seriously, the tales may often take the scenic route rather than the interstate, but they never stray too far from the main point; guys going fast on motorcycles.

Growing up in Minnesota, he discovered dirt bikes in the mid-70s and pursued racing hard into the 80s, topping out at mid-pack Open Expert. After a long dormant period, he returned to racing and became involved outside the track. He founded MXBob.com in the early 2000s. From 2001 through 2010, he was a District 23 Vet class competitor and board member, a motorcycle club member, and a contributor to Cycle News and Cycle USA.

His first few books were quite Minnesota-centric, but since his move to the Sonoran Desert in the early 2010s, his next topics are anything that involves racing and motorcycles, the older the better for both rider and machine.
