Peter Egan is one of the most beloved voices in automotive and motorcycle journalism. In a warm, wide-ranging conversation that takes place inside his Wisconsin workshop, Egan reconnects with “Driven to Ride” host Mark Long to discuss his new book, “Landings in America,” a memoir meets travelogue that chronicles a six-week journey across the U.S. in a Piper Cub.

Egan shares stories of how he and his wife, Barb, navigated the skies in 1987 with paper maps, a handheld radio, and no GPS, landing in small towns, sleeping in motels, and soaking in the vastness of the country from 1,500 feet above. They avoided big cities in favor of grass airstrips, friendly strangers, and fly-ins, where fellow aviation enthusiasts gathered around their bright yellow aircraft.

Known for his decades-long career writing for Cycle World and Road & Track, Egan brings the same introspective charm and observational wit to this interview that made his magazine columns and features enduring favorites for readers and riders alike. While motorcycles only appear briefly in “Landings in America,” the spirit of adventure is deeply familiar.
