After an earlier post with references to Peter Fonda and his "Easy Rider" film, I got to thinking about a classic book.. [View all]

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". I really enjoyed the book and his philosophical thoughts along with the mechanical musings about motorcycles. I'm going have to re-read Pirsig's book and see if I can glean new meanings in its text as I continue in my old age...as I recall some folks did not think much of his outlook and the book drew a fair amount of criticism. I liked it...
