Many of us can still remember the excitement of our first motorcycle ride. In Patrick Wants To Ride, a unique new children's book, a young boy longs for that first ride with his parents on their Harley-Davidsons. Written mainly for youngsters from 4 to 10 years old, the story takes Patrick from wishing he could ride, to fulfilling his dream of being in the wind.

Captured is the wonderful innocence of what it's like to be a child whose dreams come true. This hard- cover book is printed in full color on high quality paper, and will make a wonderful gift for any boy or girl, or even the child in you.
