Customer Review: I first read this masterpiece of fiction when I was fifteen, I remember clearly it was 1980 and I spent days in my room trying to understand the big words and attempting to figure out all the characters Pirsig would reference, Kant, Hume, Poincare, and the ancient Greeks. Since we were well before a... more info
Customer Review: I'm showing my son how reviews on Amazon work, and he was very excited to comment on this book: "It's good for a person of any age, and it is very imaginative. It's fun and funny."

Customer Review: I've owned my first and only bike for less than a year, which is also how long I've been riding, and have already made a trip from Jersey to Miami and back! Had I read this book BEFORE I took that trip (on an XL1200C Sportster), I would have been a bit more comfortable. Luckily for me, I didn't... more info
Customer Review: I would highly recommend this informative and interesting book. It has a lot of good, basic information and was an interesting read. I may or may not delve into building an electric motorcycle or scooter, but this book goes far into helping make that decesion and gives me plenty of ideas.
