Book Review: First To Last (The Tale of a Biker) by Dennis Lid
Sunday, October 14th, 2007 at 8:43 am by angrybob
A while ago I met Dennis Lid in the virtual world through his interest in contributing to this blog. Dennis is an old-timer who no longer rides, but has a keen ability to share his love of the two-wheeled world. This is demonstrated through his new book called First to Last (The Tale of a Biker).
The book is the chronicling of his life story from the perspective of how his life experiences and motorcycles influenced the outcome. Dennis served as a Special Forces soldier in the Vietnam War. After the war, he spent time at various military locations in the US, owning different motorcycles. While abroad, Dennis met the woman of his life and they eventually settled down in Japan.
Dennis did a lot of riding in Japan with a riding club called Camp Zama Motorcycle Club. The book tells of the rise and fall of the club, as well as the final scene of Dennis’s riding career - with a friend riding off on his (now) sold Ninja. He has not ridden since.
The book is well written and a short, easy read. Having read some other articles from Dennis, he is a deep thinker, sometimes with a focus on the soft side. Throughout the book, he challenges each reader that life is about finding one’s own Holy Grail. As every reader will find out, Dennis has found his.
