On Any Wednesday (Or Tuesday, Or Thursday, Or…) the Mostly Mid-Week Travelogue of Max Burns

On any Wednesday is a collection of five motorcycle adventures. Each story catches Max-sometimes alone, sometimes with friends-chasing the trails and sparsely-travelled backroads of northeastern Ontario and northwestern Québec, typically pursued by a fast-approaching winter. In his notoriously satirical and witty manner, Max uses the motorcycle not just as a vehicle to get from point A to point somewhere, but also as a vehicle to explore life and a few of its absurdities. The reader is invited along to share the sweet scent of a shower of autumn leaves, the teasing taste of delectable apple pie, the haunting silence of a vacated northern lake, the airing of a few selected gripes, and a few belly laughs-basically all the smells, tastes, sights, joy, and sometimes pain, of Max’s world as seen from the seat of a motorcycle. On Any Wednesday makes for a fun-and occasionally provocative-read, one that will appeal to both armchair adventurers and active participants alike. 6×9 paperback (fits nicely into a typical motorcycle tankbag), 128 pages, full colour cover, 67 black-and-white photos placed throughout the book in context with the text, 4 maps (covering 8 pages), various bits of artwork throughout, and two pages of sources to help track down the restaurants and lodgings Max visited.
