Man, was I nervous yesterday at A&S Motorcycles for the Mind Over Machine – The Psychology of Riding Motorcycles‘ book launch event.
.
70 to 80 people came in and it was a blast having them.
.
Jill Akkaya was incredible announcing the speakers. Barry J Rowland started it out with a flashback and takeaways as a student of the Superbike-Coach Corp.. Then it was Mark Stewart’s turn, funny and emotional. After that, I had my part and we went into signing copies. That took quite some time as people were lining up out the door.
.
If you’d read one chapter… you’d understand too!
.
Jill announced the raffle and some won great prices while the rest was enjoying the food that A&S had provided, so a special thanks goes out to Jeff and Randy!
Thanks to Dean Lonskey Photography and the rest of the SBC team: Marion, Jill, Mark, Nick and Chris. You guys mean the world to me!

I’ve got some thrilling news that’s going to rev up your mental game on and off the track! Many of you have been asking for digital ways to carry the “Mind Over Machine” philosophy with you. The wait is almost over: Both the Mind Over Machine eBook and Audiobook are officially available for pre-order NOW on Google Play!
Imagine taking the insights, strategies, and psychological breakthroughs from the book—the very tools that transform your riding—and having them in your pocket or your ears, ready to integrate into your daily life.
The Power of the Hybrid Approach
I wrote Mind Over Machine because I saw a critical gap in rider training: the mental game. We spend countless hours on technique, fitness, and bike setup, but often neglect the most powerful tool we possess—our mind.
Now, we’re making these transformative lessons available in the formats that fit your lifestyle:
The Audiobook: My personal coaching in your ear. I’ve not narrated this myself to ensure that the message comes across without my German/Turkish/English dialect. Perfect for your commute, your workout, or your pre-ride mental prep.
The eBook: High-speed access to the full text. Perfect for quick reference, highlighting key strategies, and diving deep into the mental patterns whenever you have a spare moment.
Why Pre-Order Now?
The road to mastery is about preparation. By pre-ordering on Google Play today, you ensure you have the tools the second they drop.
Be the First to Start: Your eBook and Audiobook will automatically appear in your library on launch day. No waiting, no delays.
Seamless Integration: Google Play Books allows you to switch between reading and listening effortlessly across all your devices.
