It's an old book that someone lent to me when they heard I loved riding.
It's called Zen & the art of motorcycle maintenance by Robert M Pirsig. I'd imagine a lot of you 'oldies' [I'm 22, hey] might have heard of it [it was released in 1974.
It's one of the funniest reads I've had in years. It's supposed to be philosophical or something, I just find it an entertaining read. It makes me remember how enjoyable a ride is, it makes me want to ride slower [imagine that] and enjoy the scenery. Too fast too often is how a lot of us ride nowadays I reckon.

I've already ordered myself a copy, for $30 delivered. It's better than any movie I've seen in ages. So much stuff about riding in general. hmm
Who's read it, what are your comments.
Anyone who hasn't read a book in a long time [like me] should pick this up. It'd be something good on a rainy day. Makes me smile and laugh a lot, and thats worth the $$ itself.

Reading, laughing and resting - Everything but f*&^ing riding!
