Review: Big Sid's Vincati by Mathew Biberman

Summary: Big Sid Biberman has been popular for years as one of the premier Vincent tuners in this country. When he had a cardic arrest and lost the will to live, his son, Matthew, needed something to reignite this lost spark. While in the hospital, Matthew promised his Dad they would, together, build a Vincati. This book is the story of their quest to build the bike and reconstruct their rough relationship. The backdrop throughout the book focuses on how small and close-knit the Vincent community really is.

This is an engaging story of a son's love for a father, a son's wish that his dad might live forever. It is the true story of "Big Sid" Biberman, a legendary motorcyle mechanic who repaired old bikes. He worked on machines owned by many famous individual and in fact spent more time fixing broken pistons and bent steel than in repairing his own relationship with his son.

The book is an easy read with poignant story of a father-son relationship, not technical at all and a reminder that life’s challenges can lead to impressive results when faced head on.

Rated: 4.5 out of 5

Zombie Attack!

So I was listening to Zombie by The Cranberries and started thinking: How would it be if zombies realy existed? Would it look like Frankenstein? Would it really be evil as movies suggest or would it just be a forlorn dead body? Would it be green or would it be brown? Well, I don't know much about that, but I think I'm better off without zombies in my life:P
But anyways, zombies are still pretty cool I guess-- better than Edward Cullen, at least. I remember once I got my arm stuck between two sharp edges and thought it was a zombie trying to feed off my poor arm!
Whew that was scary.
