Sounds like your Zen is runnin' on all eight right now too, Thom!!!


There are Zenists in our midst. I mean we're riders... some of us quite seasoned and we understand the Zen thing. Well, ummm... listen, it's in the experience of being part of the machine. Aaaah, I'm not making myself clear, so read this passage from one of John's blog entries.

"The four of us blazed a trail through the twisties, occasionally stopping to allow the rest of the party to catch up. My bike was just singing with the bark of the specialty spares exhaust bouncing off the cliff walls and the concrete barriers separating the road from the lake below, as well as harmonizing with the exhaust notes of the other riders in my group as our RPMs rose and fell together. It was…well, as close to a Zen state as I’ve ever been."

Ya see what I mean?
