Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Moments


With a little help from the late, great Robert M. Pirsig, we ride our motorcycles to a place we've never been before and enjoy a Sunday ride that is completely in the moment. No plans, no schedule, no hurry, just Clif on his Yamaha FJR1300, Britt on his Harley-Davidson Dyna, and me on my FZ-07 as we explore flora and fauna in the red dirt country of West Texas on a beautiful autumn day.

Additional notes on this episode:
1.) Texas's only natural lake is Caddo Lake, which it shares with Louisiana.
2.) Texas has 187 manmade lakes/reservoirs.
3.) The Hedge Apples in this video are Maclura Pomifera.
4.) Mrs. Kathy's is located at 3413 College Avenue in Snyder, Texas.
5.) Total mileage for this trip was 171.
6.) Shoot date was Sunday October 13, 2019.

As you may know if you've followed this blog with any frequency over the past 13 years, I have often fancied myself a bit of a thinker and lay philosopher, one who has repeatedly used motorcycling as metaphor, both in my writings and videos. With that in mind, I feel compelled to compose a bit about how the book has affected me in different ways over the years, and to explore motorcycling as metaphysical quality in a way that Pirsig would've hopefully not completely hated. I first became aware of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance in college during the '90s. My speech professor, with whom I had developed a personal acquaintance, recommended the book to me after learning I was a rider. "You should check it out," he said. "I think it would rea...
