Philanthropist. Humanitarian. Patron of the arts. Considerate lover. Boris Mihailovic has never been any of these things. He has, however, been a failed motorcycle racer, and outlaw motorcycle club member, a chronic abuser of recreational drugs, and one of Australia’s most grammatically correct magazine pornographers. Oh, and an author. Hilarious, brutal, insightful, and remorseless, his tales delight and appal – often at the same time. A deeply flawed creature carved from wicked stubbornness, you’re invited to join him in a series of quite terrible, but equally side-splitting, tales of his exploits and confessions. AD THE WISDOM OF THE ROAD GODS In this, his third – and if there’s any justice on this earth, final – book, he once again takes you into his world of vehicular savagery, ultraviolence, rampant tequila freebasing, mindless thuggery, and some awfully gentle introspection, with such raw, unvarnished honesty, you would be fully justified in referring him to the police after page 32. Or chucking the fucken book into the bin after page 28. What does he care? Just stop reading this shit and hand over your money so he can finally afford to get his “I fuck fat chicks” tattoo removed.

It concerns the riding of motorcycles and what happens when that riding takes place. There are sweary words, terrible deeds, and poor outcomes. ‘Boris has more fun on two wheels than should be legally possible…’ – Richard Fidler, ABC ‘Mihailovic uses humour like most people would use their fists.’ – Courier Mail ‘His love of motorcycling, mateship and frequent, subsequent mayhem is matched by a natural writing ability that graphically, often hilariously, brings to life the two-wheeled experiences that have shaped his life… Highly recommended.’ – 4 X 4 Magazine “This guy lives and breathes motorbikes. He’s the epitome of two-wheel freedom.’ – Mining Chronicle AT THE ALTAR OF THE ROAD GODS Order from: www.bikeme.tv/index.php/ product/at-the-altar-of-the-road-gods/ This was the second book. I feel you will enjoy this as much as you enjoyed the first one, or maybe less. Or maybe more. It’s hard to pin down. Some say it is darker than my first book, but I think they’re only referring to the cover. Others have enjoyed it too: ‘Laugh-out-loud funny . . . compelling’ – TraderMotorcycles. com.au ‘Couched in beautiful Australiana, Boris’ book is an exploration of a life that most of us would never dare to live. Boris describes one of his sharehouses as being “a cross between a Marxist utopia and a pirate ship,” but it may as well be a description of the entire book. Boris writes like a more abrasive Hunter S. Thompson.’ – Aden Dale Goodreads
