    Another version of the same book can be found at:

    Excellent read if you have the time and patience! Uses motorcycling and motorcycle maintenance as an analogy for how different people approach life.

    lol

    All I have to say about that book is "if you have ten years spare than read it" That book was horrible, man o man talk about ****. I read a few pages and went to sleep. My tutor at Uni said he read it years ago and it was awesome. But ummmmmmm NO its still crap!!!!!

    I whack Chris's knee and point to it.


    ``What!'' he hollers.

    ``Blackbird!''

    He says something I don't hear.``What?'' I holler back.

    He grabs the back of my helmet and hollers up, ``I've seen lots of those, Dad!''

    ``Oh!'' I holler back. Then I nod. At age eleven you don't get very impressed with red-winged blackbirds

    So thats how u do a oil change, **** If I wanted a story I would have read a Mills and Boon.

    It is not something to read if the only reason you are going to read it is because it has motorcycling in the title. It is not about motorcycling. It is much more of a philosophical book than anything else, and as far as philosophy books go it is a good one (I have recently been reading "The science of philosophy" and zen and the art is a much better book).

    have 5 glasses of a nice single malt scotch and the book will then begin to make sense. I am not sure if coke is potent enough.
