(6 months, 35 states, highest 1 day mileage: 1036, mechanical failures: 0) "Though it's a rather unconventional choice for a 16,000 mile adventure, it was an unforgettable experience that will always stay with me." Dennis Matson AntiHero... Excerpts From the Book: "I can't see the future, but when I am moving towards a goal, I know I'm heading in the right direction." "Follow your dreams? Ha. Dreams are prey that should be hunted, stalked, decapitated and devoured. And when you've sucked the the last bit of marrow from the bones, mount the head on a wall, enjoy it for a moment, and plan your next hunt." "Our lives can be spent carrying out actions that we hope will lead to a greater sense of purpose, accomplishment and meaning, but all these are secondary to the need to feel alive." "Do things that scare you and try things that you're quite certain you won't like. There's no better way to discover places and people (and things about yourself) you never knew existed." "Speed doesn't kill. Stopping does. Movement is life. So keep movin'!" Dennis Matson the AntiHero... Link to buy AntiHero Hard Cover Book |

AntiHero Memoir Book 1 - "Coast to Coast 'and back' with an Italian Supermodel"First Kindle ebook from the AntiHero. Join Dennis as he rumbles across N. America with his "Italian Supermodel", the Ducati Panigale 1199s sport motorbike. In poignant prose and beautiful photographs, Dennis shares his philosophical insights, and clear eyed observations of people and the places they inhabit. Ultimately, a story of the triumph of one man over his own limitations, and his love for a machine that challenged him on his journey of self discovery.
"It took a couple of months (and one unexpected event) to finally provide the right set of circumstances for my adventure, but I'm finally two states into it and finally have some time to devote to this chronicle. I briefly considered the advantages and disadvantages of particular makes and models of bikes, but when it comes down to it, comfort and convenience are overrated; masochistic machines cultivate will and test mental fortitude, so something built for mileage was totally out of the question. In the end it came down to only one choice: the Ducati 1199 Panigale S." Dennis Matson AntiHero... *(Book 1 Available below:) |
