“Wrenched Words and Chick Pics” Northern California Book Tour, January 2010 Motorcycle Authors Christina Shook and Ed Milich embark on Weeklong Northern California book tour. What do you do in January when it’s too wet or chilly to ride your motorcycle? How about heading out for a night of motorcycle related literature and photography? Christina Shook and Ed Milich will be touring motorcycle destinations in San Francisco and northern California beginning January 26, 2010 to promote their recently released motorcycle books: Milich’s Wrenched: Man and Machine and Shook’s Chicks on Bikes. Milich recently completed a 10-day West Coast book tour in December of 2009 with Mark Gardiner (Roadracer X, Classic Bike), author of Riding Man. Shook shared the Werkstatt SF tour stop with Gardiner and Milich, and the idea for January’s “Wrenched Words and Chick Pics” Tour was born. Christina Shook is a San Francisco based professional photographer. Chicks on Bikes, Shook’s first book, compiles her photographs of female motorcyclists drawn largely from the San Francisco Bay Area’s diverse population of female riders. The book depicts female racers, commuters, cruisers, and mechanics in their natural environments from San Fransisco’s streets to dirt bike trails, to the racetrack. The hard-bound Chicks On Bikes is 154 pages and is $24.99 from www.chicksonbikes.us Ed Milich is a Los Angeles based writer and contributor to Motorcyclist Magazine, Cafe Racer Magazine, Sports Car Market Magazine, a national road racing champion (WSMC, AHRMA), proprietor of motorcycle websites Guzzitech.com, Ducpower.com, and Motobastard.com and a professional Mechanical Engineer. Wrenched, Man and Machine, the first book from the Los Angeles based Milich, documents his motorcycle racing, wrenching and riding experiences in largely unrhymed free verse. In March of 2009, Milich debuted Wrenched at the Daytona International Speedway Bike Week Vintage Races where he punctuated the book release by winning four out of four AHRMA races.
