the first motorcycle magazine i ever read was cycle world, i was about 10 years old, by age 12, i had a motorcycle under my butt & the wind in my hair- i was totally hooked long before then riding on the back of my father's friends' indian chiefs & triumph twins. joe parkhurst did alot for our sport, he was a true pioneer of the modern-day motorcycle journalism. we have lost a lot of guys from the old days, but none will be forgotten- can't deny their spirit doesn't live on in all of us. ride free, joe, forever more.
