In a book that is "a must for anyone who has loved a motorcycle" (Oliver Sacks), Melissa Pierson captures in vivid, writerly prose the mysterious attractions of motorcycling. She sifts through myth and hyperbole: misrepresentations about danger, about the type of people who ride and why they do so. The Perfect Vehicle is not a mere recitation of facts, nor is it a polemic or apologia. Its vivid historical accounts-the beginnings of the machine, the often hidden tradition of women who ride, the tale of the defiant ones who taunt death on the racetrack-are intertwined with Pierson's own story, which, in itself, shows that although you may think you know what kind of person rides a motorcycle, you probably don't.Binding Type: Paperback

Small but mighty
Color: Chew Pair, Size: Mini (Pack of 2)
Dusty (chihuahua) loves the blue bone! It is the perfect size for his little mouth and he loves that he can put it to the back of his mouth and just chew on it. The rope one is his least favorite as it appears to be too big for his mouth. They’re great quality and while they are not stretchy they do bounce!

The only toys my older Chihuahua likes
Color: Chew Pair, Size: Mini (Pack of 2)
These are the only toys my older Chihuahua likes. They can't be found locally, Thank goodness I can order them and get them here fast.
My younger Chihuahua grabs them sometimes and chews big chunks off. Swallowing the chunks would be a concern

Good but watch for the strings coming undone.
Color: Chew Pair, Size: Mini (Pack of 2)
Our 12 week old puppy has loved chewing on these bones. The only issue you'll need to look out for is the knots in the strings come undone very easily. I've had to retire them multiple times. This could be dangerous for dogs that like to eat strings!!
