For more than 30 years has been a raconteur, provocateur, and relentless contrarian. He is a record-holding long-distance rider, both unabashed promoter and red-eyed critic of BMW Motorrad, award-winning motorcycle-rights advocate and voice of the Iron Butt Association. His writing has earned him a unique place among the legends of motorcycle journalism. The Higdon Chronicles, collated from various sources over the past three decades, represents his best work. A self-described "recovering attorney," these days he migrates between Maryland and Florida, depending on where the better riding weather is currently found.
