The Art of Motorcycle Maintenace and Zen.
:hehehe :hehehe
I read the book multiple times, enjoyed the book, and still have a copy. I have had my kids read it. The profound point from the book is that the machine you are working on is YOU. You can call it self-help/hippie genre, but it is more than that. We are not all German engineers from birth
. The reality is that we all face mental/mechanical logjams when working on machines...this site is kinda geared towards that. My first one was on my K on initial start. Fuel pump running
only when the start button is pushed was a foreign concept to me based upon previous experience. Came to this site, was welcomed by a few, slapped by a few, but am still here. I think what keeps me here is the humor and mechanical intrigue. Back to Zen and the ART of MM...how you approach/perceive a problem is of more significance than the problem itself AND often has a direct bearing upon the solution. YOU CANNOT SEPARATE ART FROM MECHANICS!
