Romanian author Dan A. Tano has released his third novel, My Life on the Hayabusa. 100.000 km on a motorcycle, in both English and Romanian versions which are now available on Amazon.com. Tano, a motorcycle enthusiast, wrote this novel “on the border between reality and fiction, in memory of a biker friend, whose life was cut short too early, and because of the negative labels attributed to bikers around the world.”

Set against the backdrop of the scenic Romanian countryside, the novel follows the journey of discovery of a rider, his motorcycle and his riding friends.

“(…) Hayabusa is a legend. I knew the legend, studied it, and fully assimilated it. And then, within minutes, I was on the verge of taming it (…) In over thousands of miles spent together, we were able to help each other, to get out of dangerous situations and to enjoy the qualities in each of us. We both were living a dream. ”

Like most of the best happenings in his life, Evans stumbled into his motojournalism career. While on his way to a planned life in academia, he applied for a job at a motorcycle magazine, thinking he’d get the opportunity to write some freelance articles. Instead, he was offered a full-time job in which he discovered he could actually get paid to ride other people’s motorcycles – and he’s never looked back. Over the 25 years he’s been in the motorcycle industry, Evans has written two books, 101 Sportbike Performance Projects and How to Modify Your Metric Cruiser, and has ridden just about every production motorcycle manufactured. Evans has a deep love of motorcycles and believes they are a force for good in the world.
