Open Road to my Soul: Biker Poems - Paperback

Coyle, Gordon: - Gordon Coyle was raised in British Columbia. He was born in Prince Rupert in 1955 and then moved with his family to the Lillooet area at the age of three. He spent most of his childhood in and around Lillooet-a community on the Fraser River at an intersection of deep gorges surrounded by some of the most exhilarating, winding highways through the Coast Mountains. It was there that Gord bought his first bike at the age of 15 after working a summer for BC Rail. He and his 3 brothers took turns riding that Honda which would eventually be modified into a trike in high school shop class. Gord owned a number of bikes over the years, although he took some time off from biking to work in the mining industry and raise his children. Through marriage and remarriage, he would come to be 'Dad' to two daughters and four sons. In 2007 he finally knocked off the biggest item on his bucket list-he bought his first Harley Davidson, a 2007 Softail. To date, he has taken that bike as far east as the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, as far south as Arizona, and as far south east as North Carolina. Now, looking toward his retirement, he feels it was time to put all of his poetry together and get it published-another task off his bucket list.
