Darwin Holmstrom is the author of The Complete Idiots Guide to Motorcycles (with some assistance from the editors of Motorcyclist magazine) and his second book, Honda Gold Wing. Darwin caught the motorcycle bug at the age of five, when his cousin brought home a shiny new Honda CB350. He supports his lifelong motorcycle habit by any means necessary. Hes worked as a factory laborer, farm hand, truck driver, potato inspector, editor, newspaper reporter, and adjunct professor, teaching journalism, technical writing, and composition. He currently works as a freelance writer and editor in the Minneapolis area. He also mans the illustrious Midwest Desk for Motorcyclist magazine. Hes been riding since the ripe old age of 11, and he has logged at least 25,000 motorcycle miles each year for the past 15 years. His dream garage contains a Ducati 750SS (Roundcase, with a duck-egg blue frame), Series C Vincent Rapide, Moto Guzzi V11 Sport, KTM Adventurer, Honda VFR800 Interceptor, and 1993 Gold Wing SE. His real garage is somewhat more spartan.
