Zen and the art of riding...

[pritch]

Regarding Zen and the Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance, I just dusted off my copy. When I read it, over twenty years ago now, it was hard work. Just now on opening a page at random I found it quite absorbing.

Be warned, however, that there is a loose ranging discourse on the meaning of the word "quality" that runs to some thirty pages from memory. If you've never read a book that had the word "metaphysical" in reviews you could find this heavy going.

The BMW (with chain drive) is almost incidental to the story.

Former All Black Captain Graeme Mourie rated it the best book he had ever read.
Then again he did attend the Sorbonne.

Anyway, I'm glad I read it.
