Re: [emrat:15408] RMRAT April Meeting

Dan,

I haven’t read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance yet. So no spoilers please.

I did listen to Ron Francis’ latest podcast cast, it is short, about 12 minutes. I agree with E-Steve that it had a nice positive message. 

Also I got an idea for a route I can take my mother driving on to see a bit of Colorado. Note, my 85 year old mother with bad hips is not getting on my bike. Heck, she told all of us we are not allowed to ride. 3 of us have licenses, 2 rode behind their husbands, and one is a nurse that won’t ride. So, the ban had a 18.5% success rate.

Well, I thought I would do a little research on our guest speaker Saturday, and here is Ron Francis' web site:

Who among us has not yet read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"?

 

By the way, my second motorcycle was the same one that Robert Pirsig rode: a red 305cc Honda Superhawk, 28 hp and a top speed of 100 mph.   I never thought, in 1965, when I rode mine from Manhattan KS to El Paso TX and back, that I would ever need a more powerful motorcycle.
