Zen ride

Pirsig book

We just tripped over these pics, from the collection of Robert Pirsig. He was author of the seminal philosophical tome Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Above are Pirsig and son Chris on a 1968 motorcycle trip, on a Honda CB77, that formed the thread of the book.

Pirsig book

It was published in 1974 – here is the first edition.
